"It's not how many products we've sold, it's how many people we've helped." - Dr. Omar
Phyto-C Skin Care by PhytoCeuticals, Inc is the market leader in natural product chemistry skin and health care products. Established by Dr. Mostafa Omar in 1995, the inventor of topical Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid), we are committed to developing the most advanced and effective skin care formulations with natural ingredients. Phyto-C Skin Care has carefully tested each formula which have undergone clinical studies.
Dr. Mostafa Omar, the president and founder of Phyto-C Skin Care by PhytoCeuticals, has been researching and developing natural formulations derived from natural sources for over 40 years.
Dr. Omar’s successful invention resulted in numerous awards and recognitions by prominent entities in the field. He has been conducting research and developing groundbreaking formulas as a Professor of Pharmacognosy at University of Rhode Island’s College of Pharmacy for over 40 years.
In 2005, Dr. Omar decided to keep his formulations proprietary to Phyto-C Skin Care as too many companies continued to try and take credit for his discoveries. However, his grants, knowledge, and passion could not be imitated. He has since developed groundbreaking natural formulations to address many different cosmetic skin concerns that are safe and effective.
At Phyto-C Skincare, we believe that skin imperfections affect more than just your skin, it affects your confidence and ultimately how you feel. That’s why we believe in sourcing the highest quality natural ingredients, extensively researching, testing, and developing the highest quality skincare products clinically proven to help thousands of people everyday.
Company Vision: The Phyto-C brand vision is to become the most respected, trusted, and clinically supported professional skincare line in the world.
Customer Vision: Phyto-C aims to empower, restore, and instill confidence in all those who have lost it due to their embarrassing skin imperfections.
Community Vision: Phyto-C partners with top doctors and top universities to research and develop the most safe, effective, and natural skincare products.
In 1994, Dr. Omar was approached to develop stabilized topical vitamin C which was impossible at the time. His deep-rooted background in pharmacognosy gave him the edge to successfully stabilize vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid), which scientists from all over the world could not mimic or reverse engineer until this very day. These formulations were manufactured for the largest skin care companies without giving away the secret to how it is stabilized.
Phyto-C Skin Care is the only company to have been awarded grants for its topical formulations:
• NCI Grant #1 R43- CA83538-01A1
• NCI Grant #1-R43-CA94484-01
Two important patents have resulted from our research:
• Olive Leaf Extract patent #6,743,449 B2
• Aleoferon patent # 4861761
