Our Philosophy
All living on the planet has developed by the same fundamental rules: plants, herbs, animals, people. All have been created by Nature. Oils produced by a plant are compatible with processes in human body on more than just the physical plane! Substances made by man may have the same chemical formula but often are of a very different 3D composition and certainly do not resonate with human body at finer planes of existence as harmonically as their natural counterparts. They are not equals to human body, they are secondary, inferior in their qualities substances.
Man made ingredients are also very uniform in chemical content, while natural ones are always a complex mix. The composition of this mix often introduces wonderful qualities that defy the rules applicable to their synthetic cousins. It's very difficult to write off this fact as a coincidence.
Ayurvedic texts and folk medicine recipes of many cultures stress importance of ingredients' combination. The sum is greater than its parts. This describes the philosophy of Alchemy products design – only natural ingredients, created by Nature unaltered by man, unrefined, unprocessed, formulated according to the letter and the spirit of our ancestors' wisdom.
Our creams and serums do not act on any given area or process in your body directly, they only help your body to do what it always wanted – to heal itself and it knows best how to. That’s why our customers report a large variety of positive results and it’s impossible to say what exactly any given product will do for you because you are unique. Trust your own body – it will know how to use it.
We do not use synthetic ingredients. We are just not smart enough to outsmart Mother Nature. Natural ingredients have more healing properties than synthetic ones. Nature has much longer RnD experience than the whole of humanity combined. For that reason we use natural ingredients only - they offer the most potent rejuvenating and regenerative action for your skin and almost exclude a possibility of allergic reactions.
Our creams and serums go beyond cosmetic and are rather skin health products. They are a blend and a result of millennia long experience of Russian and Chinese folk medicine, the wisdom of Ayurveda and the latest, cutting edge biological research. When your skin is healthy you don’t need cosmetics – there are no imperfections to hide. It’s impossible to improve perfect.
Most of our products contain 10 to 14 groups of ingredients: oils, peptides, enzymes, amino acids, anti-glycation agents, telomere protectors, vitamins, tyrosinase inhibitors, minerals, antioxidants, humectants, emollients, moisturizers, preservatives. Some are so exotic you never knew they existed, others are derived from the same sources as some very expensive brand names, like TA-65 or resveratrol. Many come from pristine tundras of Russian Siberia.
Solemate, for example, is based on Altai Sea Buckthorn oil. Annual temperature fluctuations in Altai region of Russian Siberia range from -50 to +50 Celsius. Plants store their “savings” in oils. Those that had survived that near Martian climate for millennia must have had something really good in store to sustain life. Same goes for insects, Altai royal jelly, honey, extracts of zabrus and bee bread are parts of our formulations. Instead of standard synthetic preservatives we use colloidal silver, Altai wild zhivitsa and propolis.
We thoroughly research and test every ingredient. Only after positive results would it be considered for any formulation. We unequivocally turn down any candidate ingredient sourced from a life form higher than a shrimp or a bee for the fear of foreign hormones.
People often ask us why should I toss my L’****l? The answer is you shouldn’t. If it’s the brand that makes your skin happy. Just keep in mind the following…
"They" target truly cosmetic effect that comes at a great health cost to your skin and disappears in a day or two.
Our products give your skin accumulating, long term therapeutic momentum.
"Their" products often include one quality ingredient and fill the rest with petroleum synthetics.
We do not use synthetics, and every ingredient is natural - wild harvested or organic.
"They" formulate with ingredients.
We work with ingredient groups. Each group covers broader and deeper spectrum of action than a single ingredient could. That's why sheer number of them in our formulations often exceeds 50.
"Their" formulas act on your skin directly, exploiting it for a very short lived “show”.
Ours - support, stimulate and enhance your own body's natural regenerative and healing abilities.
