About

REÅLEA Alchemical Skincare (rey-Á-lee-a) revives the best kept secrets of traditional medicine to offer you unparalleled skincare products. Look and feel your best while in harmony with the planet. As practitioners, we join the contemporary movement within academia to reevaluate the historical record on alchemy, and show the world today what it really is and can do. Alchemy is not merely a pseudoscientific precursor to modern chemistry, and it is certainly far more comprehensive and efficacious than the attempt to transmute lead into gold. It is perhaps the oldest human tradition still in existence, attested from the earliest era of Ancient Egyptian history, and encompasses multiple disciplines and cross-cultural legacies. Plant remedies have been one of alchemy's main focuses: herbal extracts, distillates, tinctures, essential oils, mineral salts, essences, infusions, and floral waxes. We use laboratory techniques passed down by the alchemist-physicians of our tradition. We seek out lost formulas and forgotten methods of preparation in old records, while bringing contemporary scientific research to bear on the knowledge of the past. We are continuously experimenting and introducing our own innovations to make the REÅLEA products.
