We get the question frequently from people who haven’t yet tried the brand: “What is unique about the Doctor D. Schwab product line?”

What is Unique About the Doctor D. Schwab Product Line

In a nutshell: we have been researching natural ingredients over the past 25 years and have been creating natural products since before they were popular; all of our products continue to be made with pure, non-irritating, natural botanical ingredients, most of which are now certified organic. Not only do we use effective natural ingredients, we also incorporate the latest natural ingredients in our products such as plant stem cells. We take our Science + Nature stance one step further by creating our own peptides for the ultimate in purity and efficacy, as well as create our own soy-based skin care delivery system which encapsulates active ingredients and allows them to penetrate deep into the skin where it has the greatest effect. The result of all of this is organic products with salon quality results – products that are effective in reducing wrinkles, clearing blemished skin, and calming irritation.

Our Knowledge Based on Years of Research

Our scientists have researched the effects of sea extracts, plants, herbs and vitamins, utilizing the knowledge to create “one thousand different products from more than nine hundred ingredients.” The botanicals, herbal extracts, and natural vitamins provide exceptional results, improving skin health and appearance by revitalizing and regenerating. Powerful free radical exchangers enhance skin moisture and encourage the growth of new, healthy cells.

Certified Organic Ingredients

Our products feature Certified Organic ingredients along with natural peptides and vitamins. We are one of the few companies with a NOP certification to create organic products. Since we manufacture our own products, we can ensure the quality and efficacy.

Plant Stem Cell Technology

Many of our products (currently 14 and counting!) now contain breakthrough grape and apple plant stem cells. Grape Stem Cells, cultivated from the French Gamay Teinturier Freaux grape, and Apple Stem Cells, cultivated from the Swiss Uttwiler Spätlauber Apple, help to maintain and repair cells, protect against UV radiation, and slow and reverse the signs of aging. The extracts are all natural and the method of extracting them doesn’t harm the plants, which are rare varieties. Watch for further posts discussing this new technology!

Alphasomes® Skin Care Delivery System

Finally, one of the things that really makes our products unique is our natural soy-based Alphasomes® Complex, which is a Phospholipid based delivery system that encapsulates active ingredients and enables them to reach the deepest layers of the skin to affect change where it is needed.

Doctor D. Schwab Brand Under D. Kuster’s Lead

The quality, efficacy, and success of the Doctor D. Schwab product line, which bears the name of the homeopathic doctor whose practices formed the basis of the products, can be credited to Dr. Kuster, co-founder of the brand.

Dr. Kuster’s vast knowledge of botanics and his world-renowned, pioneering efforts in liposomal technology have earned him the reputation as “the Einstein of emulsion technique”; he is a leader in combining nature and science to create advanced, results-oriented beauty products.

The company’s philosophy—and that of Dr. Kuster—has always been to research, develop and manufacture products based on the purest naturals harvested under the strictest conditions in the world.

Primed from an Early Age for the Natural Skin Care World

As a young child forced to learn how to survive and fend for himself in war-torn Germany, Dr. Kuster and his classmates were commissioned by their schools to harvest herbs such as Chamomile, Peppermint and Rosemary. He has always credited this experience, along with his affinity for the outdoors, for his lifelong passion for nature which helped cement his conviction that medical science and nature must be combined for ultimate healing and longevity. The botanical gardens around the world were always his interest of research.

A native of Cologne, Germany, Dr. Kuster studied at the University of Heidelberg and received his PhD in Philosophy and Biochemistry from the University of Victoria and London.

Dr. Kuster then entered the field of cosmetic science because he could foresee technological advances in the area of cellular regeneration. Having worked with leading European skin care manufacturers since 1968, he established the research company CA Botana International Inc., Doctor D. Schwab’s parent company, in 1972 to research and manufacture unique effective skin care products based on plants, extracts and herbs. The company began manufacturing products under his direction in 1976.

Future Oriented Philosophy

Dr. Kuster has a future-oriented philosophy that leads him to think always of what can be attainable tomorrow. “If you are a good scientist, you always strive for more perfection,” he states, emphasizing, “If you stand still, you go backward.”

A true visionary in the research and formulation of anti-aging skin care products, he has now researched and developed more than 2000 effective skin care formulations over the course of his 35+ years as a cosmetic scientist. The products have never used animal by-products, only regrowable and renewable ingredients are used.

His development of the patent-pending micro-emulsion skin care delivery system Alphasomes® has led to the delivery of effective anti-aging ingredients.

What does Kuster see as he looks forward? “A healthy life expectancy of 120 years.” Thanks to the continuous development of innovative products, Kuster believes those additional years can be years of botanical beauty.
