When we say our skincare is made from the Earth — we mean only from the Earth. No synthetic chemicals, no lab-made versions of plants, no additives, preservatives, or artificial fragrances. Just real, whole plants in their purest form.

You’ve probably seen words like plant-based, botanical, or natural on skincare labels before. But here’s what most people don’t realize: many of those products contain just a small percentage of real plant ingredients — sometimes only 1-2%. The rest? They’re usually synthetic chemicals, lab-engineered compounds, or fillers that make the product feel or look a certain way, but do nothing good for your skin.

And sometimes, those "plant" ingredients aren’t even plants at all — they’re lab-created substances designed to act like a plant. But mimicking nature is not the same as using nature.

We don’t believe in cutting corners or creating illusions. Our formulas are made entirely from real plants — nothing else. That means no texturizers, no fragrances, no artificial anything. Just powerful plants that your skin recognizes, absorbs, and heals with. Because nature doesn’t need help — it just needs to be trusted.

When Conventional Skincare Failed, Mother Nature Delivered

We didn’t create KLEOS+KLEA just to be another skincare brand. Our mission has always been to guide people back to nature — to help them discover the truth, the healing, and the lasting results they’ve been searching for.

Our founder, Tammy Demos, was inspired to bring her plant-only formulas to market after personally experiencing the transformative healing power of nature. She faced melanoma, melasma, rosacea, and signs of accelerated aging — and chose to forgo conventional treatments, turning to the natural world. What she discovered was profound: nature already holds the solutions we seek.

Unlike most skincare brands — which rely on lab-made, chemical-based ingredients — we chose a different path. The skincare industry often mirrors the pharmaceutical world, where synthetic ingredients are engineered to mimic what nature has already perfected. These artificial compounds may offer short-term relief, but they often come with long-term consequences for skin health.

Nature Has the Power to Restore Your Skin Back to Health

What many don’t realize is that plants do more than just "treat" — they restore. They are rich in naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytochemicals, and flavonoids that lab-made versions simply cannot replicate. 

Take Vitamin C, for example. In skincare, it’s often presented as “ascorbic acid,” a synthetic version stripped of the complexity and co-nutrients found in true plant-based sources like aloe vera, acerola cherry, or camu camu. Real Vitamin C from plants offers a synergy of compounds that nourish and heal in ways chemists’ have yet to duplicate.

Nature Provides Long-Term Skin Health

Another reason we avoid lab-created skincare is the need for harsh preservatives to stabilize those synthetic formulas. These preservatives can irritate and disrupt the skin over time. But when you use whole plants in their purest, powdered form — as we do — there’s no need for preservatives. Our entire line is free of synthetic chemicals and additives.

So, why do we share all this? Because understanding the wisdom of nature changes everything. In today’s world, society has grown distant from the earth’s healing abilities, led astray by convenience, marketing, and quick fixes. But there is another way — a more holistic, naturopathic approach that works with your skin’s natural healing powers, not against it.
