Skin Care Clean Enough To Eat.

Alitura Skin Care with truly all natural ingredients (ELEMENTAL15 for 15% off your first order)


Your skin is the largest organ on your body, yet we cover it daily in toxic substances. We spend a lot of time and energy making sure that we eat and drink clean food and water, but are we doing the same for our skin?

Did you know that you can absorb nutrients and toxins through your skin? Your skin serves as a barrier between you and the external world, but it's less like a plastic bag, and more like a coffee filter. While it does protect your body from external toxins and harmful objects, it can still absorb some of these things especially when exposed for extended periods of time. The same is true for nutrients as well, which is why people have traditionally placed foods like seaweed on their skin so that it can absorb some of the beneficial components of the seaweed.

Knowing this knowledge, why do we continue to place carcinogenic components on our skin everyday? Of course many people are unaware of the harmful ingredients in skin care products, but price tends to play a big role as well. A bottle of lotion at your local grocery store might cost 5 dollars, while a high end clean brand can be as much as 50 dollars. This barrier of entry is a valid one, but it also comes back to the debate between organic and conventional produce. However in this case, you'd be better off not consuming any of the conventional skin care products and instead pick and choose your favorites from a clean brand like Alitura. The conventional brands are likely to add more of a toxic load to your body instead of nourishing it.

In today's episode, Evan is joined by the founder of Alitura, Evan's favorite skin care brand. On this episode, Evan and Andy discuss how Andy began Alitura, where he sources his ingredients from, and why clean skin care is so important. Evan was also able to have a more personal conversation with Andy today discussing topics such as addiction, mental health, and travel. Enjoy the episode, and as always connect to your elements and do everything with good intentions.

Speaker:

Hey, what's going on, everyone.

2

:

Welcome to the elemental Evon podcast.

3

:

This is your host, Evan Roberts.

4

:

And on this podcast, I break down a

complex health topics from a holistic

5

:

perspective, providing you with digestible

information regarding health and wellness.

6

:

And today's episode is going to be on

our largest organ, which is our skin

7

:

and how important it is in terms of what

it is that we're putting on our skin.

8

:

Because we have to remember what

we put on our skin is going to

9

:

be absorbed into our bodies.

10

:

So it is important in terms

of what we place on our skin.

11

:

And I know.

12

:

We don't typically think

of it in that sense.

13

:

You know, we think of.

14

:

The only things that are going to be

absorbed into our body are going to be

15

:

things that we're consuming in terms

of liquids or foods through our mouth.

16

:

But that's not the only case you

definitely do absorb whatever it is that

17

:

you are placing on top of your skin.

18

:

And unfortunately, we are

placing some very seriously.

19

:

Toxic substances on our skin.

20

:

Because there is, in my opinion, very

loose regulations around what can be

21

:

placed in our skincare products and

cosmetic products for that matter.

22

:

So on today's episode,

I'm joined with Andy NYLO.

23

:

he is the founder of Allie Tura naturals.

24

:

It is a super, super clean skincare brand.

25

:

It is my personal favorite skincare brand.

26

:

I've actually been using

Allie Tura for, uh, Man.

27

:

I want to say like

three or four years now.

28

:

It's definitely been a while,

uh, since I've been using them.

29

:

And it says a lot for me because I do

try a lot of different brands and, you

30

:

know, there's some really great skincare

products out there that I do enjoy,

31

:

but I keep coming back to Allie Torres.

32

:

It's my personal favorite.

33

:

Um, Andy Nilo has done an excellent job

in really curating some products that

34

:

are just super clean and effective,

and really actually doing what they're

35

:

meant to do, uh, which in the kind

of like wellness world, I guess

36

:

when it comes to cosmetic products.

37

:

You know, there are some products

that are really clean, but

38

:

are just not super effective.

39

:

Whereas I feel with the products at Allie

tour, naturals, they're super effective.

40

:

You feel the effects of them,

especially with things like the clay

41

:

mask, it's a very noticeable effect.

42

:

And so honestly, just a huge fan

and really, really enjoy all of the

43

:

products that they have over there.

44

:

And so it was really a pleasure for me

to be able to bring Andy onto the show.

45

:

I've spoken with him in the past,

I've done a actually an Instagram

46

:

live with him, which was really fun.

47

:

And we were able to dive into

some of the products and.

48

:

Ingredients that he uses in his products.

49

:

But today we were able to actually

focus a little bit more on him, which is

50

:

personally what I was most interested in.

51

:

Um, Andy has had a couple rough

years, uh, I would say these

52

:

last couple of years here.

53

:

And so it was really cool to just

speak with him and kind of see his

54

:

journey and really how he got into.

55

:

The skincare kind of brand and, and

health and wellness, you know, making

56

:

sure it's a clean skincare brand.

57

:

So really, really excited to

have him on the show today.

58

:

And for him to kind of share his

experiences with you, how he found Ali

59

:

Tura, um, why he got into the skincare

game and, uh, really why he formulates

60

:

his products in the way that he does.

61

:

And for example, I think

this is a really cool.

62

:

Uh, thing dimension.

63

:

He's actually got a few products

that he has actually literally eaten.

64

:

Like you can put some on your hand

and lick it off and then consume it.

65

:

Um, I don't know how good it tastes.

66

:

It might not be the best tasting

thing, but nonetheless, pretty mind

67

:

blowing to see someone do that because

I know there's a ton of lotions and

68

:

different things out there that I would

a hundred percent not want to ingest.

69

:

Um, you know, those things are not

going to be super good for you.

70

:

Uh, so really cool to see a

skincare brand that is so clean.

71

:

You can actually consume it because once

again, what you're putting on your skin

72

:

is going to be consumed by your body.

73

:

Uh, to a degree.

74

:

So we want to make sure what

we're putting on our skin is.

75

:

Of the highest quality possible

and things that are going to

76

:

really nourish our skin right.

77

:

And Newark us as, as a being so super

important stuff, really happy to

78

:

be able to have him on the show and

to share all of this information.

79

:

And honestly, it's just a

pleasure for me to speak with

80

:

him and catch up with him and.

81

:

And hear about the new kind of innovations

that he's doing with his company.

82

:

And really excited to bring

those to all of you as well.

83

:

enjoyed the show today.

:

104

:

Peace.

105

:

And, uh, Andy also just welcome to

the show and thank you for coming on.

106

:

I really appreciate you, man.

107

:

so much for having me.

108

:

Uh, you're an incredible dude and

I've been watching your climb and

109

:

the health and wellness industry.

110

:

Good hearted dude with great intentions

and helping others and you're doing that

111

:

so big respect for you I appreciate it.

112

:

A lot of people do Thank you, Andy.

113

:

Yeah.

114

:

I mean, uh, I feel the same

sentiment towards you as well.

115

:

And I think.

116

:

Uh, one thing that kind of maybe we

can relate on is, is just trying to

117

:

provide something of value to, to

others, you know, and, and for me, it's

118

:

really, this whole podcast has just

been an opportunity for me to educate

119

:

myself on different health topics, but

also to provide that to people because

120

:

when I was young and going through

my, IBS issues and all that as a kid.

121

:

Like, you know, I had Western medicine

and my parents, which they did their

122

:

absolute best, but at the end of the

day, like it completely fell short.

123

:

And so having to navigate that

for myself has been a real journey

124

:

and it's a beautiful journey.

125

:

I'm like, wouldn't, wouldn't

trade it for anything.

126

:

But, um, it's kind of

my way of saying like.

127

:

Dang, if there's a kid out there or

not, not even a kid, but a person who's

128

:

been searching for answers that aren't

the mainstream, um, that I found to

129

:

work for me, then I'd be happy to be

the conduit to pass that on, you know?

130

:

Yeah, absolutely.

131

:

Um, it's huge because you

hit the nail on the head.

132

:

I mean, something just we only know

what we see and you know, when we're

133

:

growing up and I'm trying to gain weight

as an athlete and you're just reading

134

:

magazines and seeing the big heavily

marketed brands and that's what you think.

135

:

It's best for your body in whatever

goal you're trying to reach.

136

:

And so it's just a matter of getting

the word out and spreading the word on,

137

:

um, products, you know, both topically,

internally, everything supplement wise,

138

:

uh, personal care products, uh, household

products, and just getting a really

139

:

good glimpse, better lens into what

we're putting into and onto our bodies.

140

:

So yeah,

141

:

. Yeah.

142

:

It's, uh, it's huge.

143

:

And it's funny mentioned as well,

like, uh, when you're young and you're

144

:

playing sports, you're looking at,

you know, what's the, what's the right

145

:

way to put on muscle and all that.

146

:

And I look back at some of

the methods I used to do with.

147

:

Some of the proteins and just super

like not clean way of putting on muscle.

148

:

But, uh, man, if I could go back

with the knowledge, it would be game

149

:

changer, but better yet I have it now.

150

:

So just got to keep applying it, but

it's, uh, It's good, it's good to reflect

151

:

on it and to, to try to move forward

and, and learn from those and, and see

152

:

how you can apply them to life now,

you know, , but Andy, I was, uh, I was

153

:

going to ask you real quick because I

was looking through, um, some of your

154

:

like, some of your recent post, but also

like, I was thinking back on a lot of

155

:

your stories that you were posting when

you were traveling to like Egypt and,

156

:

uh, I'm a, I'm a huge traveler as well.

157

:

I love, Travel I think it's a great way to

expand the mind and to really get yourself

158

:

out of your comfort zone And so I just

like I had to ask what were some of uh,

159

:

what were some of your favorite travels?

160

:

but more specifically like what were

some of your favorite travels in terms

161

:

of like places you felt were really

Spiritually charged or you just had like

162

:

a real connection on a deep level to

163

:

wow.

164

:

That's, that's, uh, ever since, uh, June.

165

:

late May of 2022.

166

:

I can count.

167

:

I mean, everywhere I've been really,

that's when a spiritual awakening and

168

:

shift in my life really started to happen.

169

:

I prayed for it, but when it

started to take action physically.

170

:

Um, just over my entire being,

uh, I can't even describe how

171

:

powerful that was, but it was tough.

172

:

It was, it was a gauntlet, but,

um, I would say the, the first

173

:

part, most beautiful part was at

the Sakaar Step Pyramid in Egypt.

174

:

That's where I experienced a big,

profound, um, just overwhelming

175

:

source of energy that led to a shift.

176

:

That I started to feel

and it was interesting.

177

:

I couldn't figure out what I was

going through, but it was putting

178

:

me on the path that I prayed for.

179

:

Like I said, and that's to, you

know, just clean up my life, get

180

:

sober from alcohol, rid my body.

181

:

Uh, uh, friends and acquaintances from

people that were trying to take advantage

182

:

and just manipulative deceptive people.

183

:

And, uh, that started to

happen just one by one.

184

:

Um, it's It's amazing how powerful

spirituality has, uh, played a role

185

:

in my life since I can remember.

186

:

But, uh, so getting back to that,

uh, those, my roots really, and

187

:

where I come from is my goal.

188

:

Now my mission for Islam, I mean, just

to stay in the present, obviously,

189

:

but I'm so, it's been replaced

like that temptation to go out and

190

:

have a good time and celebrate and.

191

:

Do all of that has been

completely replaced with

192

:

nature and spirituality for me.

193

:

And so, seeking those sacred places

all around the world, Chichen Itza,

194

:

Mexico, Peru, going to Machu Picchu,

going to Karnak, back to Egypt, to pay

195

:

my respect and gratitude and thanks

for helping me, you know, really take

196

:

over, uh, something that was, uh,

yeah, it was just, it was affecting me.

197

:

mentally and, uh, you know, we were

just getting our nervous system

198

:

correct is so important, you know, and

just learning, learning, um, having

199

:

different mechanisms that I took from

different places and different spiritual

200

:

medicine that I can implement in my

daily routine now is really changed.

201

:

And that Over any type of treatment

and rehab for me specifically is what

202

:

led to me getting sober from alcohol.

203

:

So, being here in Sedona, Arizona, in

the middle of all of that, uh, what was

204

:

really a, started to become a crisis

last year, but I did my best to manage

205

:

it and we still, we're here, you know,

but, um, and I'm grateful for that.

206

:

Uh, but it was extremely tough, but I,

you know, I was addressing the problem.

207

:

I knew what it was.

208

:

It was just really hard to, It was a

battle for sure, but I'm getting back

209

:

staying strong with my spiritual roots.

210

:

And my higher power, um, connection, uh,

with, with them, it's so hard to explain,

211

:

but I guarantee there are people out

there that can relate to having that type

212

:

of spiritual awakening in their lives.

213

:

And, um, I never thought anything

would help me from that issue.

214

:

And it was so hard because my slogans

radiate health and it's not, you know.

215

:

I was obviously still in good shape

working out through that, but battling

216

:

through that chemical imbalance,

we shouldn't have to do that.

217

:

So eliminating those things that are kind

of hindering us in the little speed bumps

218

:

in our life is essential and optimizing

where we're supposed to be in getting

219

:

on our path and reaching our destiny.

220

:

Yeah, I like that, Andy.

221

:

Um, first off, Andy, I just want to start

off, uh, super, super proud of you and

222

:

how far you've come with just everything.

223

:

And I know you went through

a pretty difficult time.

224

:

And, uh, definitely we'll, we'll have to

exchange numbers here because, uh, you

225

:

know, I know it's easier said than done,

but, you know, uh, to whatever extent

226

:

that I could be a resource for you at

any time, Dude, please reach out to me.

227

:

Um, I know like for me, I recently,

uh, not last couple of years, I

228

:

would say, um, connected with a men's

group and I was never like, I never

229

:

even knew what a men's group was.

230

:

And once I started getting into it and

just having this moment of check in with

231

:

myself, you know, and being able to.

232

:

Share a little bit of moment of

vulnerability with other guys that,

233

:

um, you know, we're also open to being

vulnerable was, was huge for me and, um,

234

:

not, not necessarily that I was going

through anything super tough, but I think

235

:

there's a lot of things in the background

that we suppress and we just kind of

236

:

like, ah, it's going to figure itself

out, like I just need to keep pushing,

237

:

you know, and, uh, I mean, that's,

that's how it is, at least for me, a lot

238

:

of times, and then you don't recognize

how in the background that's playing a

239

:

role, you know, and then like, when you

take a moment to sit down and tap in,

240

:

you're like, Damn, this is really, this

is really messing with me right now.

241

:

And, uh, it's, it's cool to just have

a moment of reflection, which obviously

242

:

can come from like meditation and other

things, but just wanted to like push

243

:

that out there that, uh, you know, you

can always reach out to me, Andy, like

244

:

happy to do whatever, whatever possible.

245

:

And, and, uh, yeah,

man, it's all love here.

246

:

And, and, uh, super happy though,

to see you just moving, man.

247

:

And like moving mountains,

doing big things.

248

:

things.

249

:

. very much.

250

:

I appreciate that.

251

:

I really do.

252

:

It's interesting connecting deeper.

253

:

Uh, internally was what I had to do and

really just pinpoint and address it.

254

:

It was tough, but, um, we got through

it, um, just with me and my higher power.

255

:

Really a lot of prayer, a lot of

intention, a lot of visualization,

256

:

a lot of meditation, breath work,

and just going through that hump,

257

:

you know, getting through it.

258

:

A lot of pain too.

259

:

It's not easy, but, um.

260

:

I'm definitely better for it.

261

:

And I have a story to share

authentically with anybody else going

262

:

through something like that, which

is real, which makes me feel good.

263

:

And like, I, I just, I have

absolutely nothing to hide.

264

:

It's nothing to be

embarrassed about at all.

265

:

I'm not embarrassed.

266

:

And, um, It's just, uh, it's

something I can share to help others.

267

:

That's why I'm here to serve others.

268

:

That's why I really believe

that's like the golden rule.

269

:

What are we doing to help others?

270

:

Martin Luther King, Dr.

271

:

Martin Luther King.

272

:

Like that's just, uh, it

makes, it fills my soul.

273

:

When we're doing that and you see other

people winning and grinding towards

274

:

their goals and then reaching them, it,

it lights something up inside of me.

275

:

So I want to follow that and, um,

just see what I can do to kind

276

:

of share my, just whatever I can

do to relate and make people feel

277

:

better about themselves, you know?

278

:

And now I have, aside from

skincare or whatever, but, uh.

279

:

I have something personally

I can absolutely share and

280

:

I'm more than willing to.

281

:

it is super genuine and also you're a

super genuine person Like you are one

282

:

of the few people that if I reach out

on, you know Instagram or whatever it

283

:

is like man You are really quick on

getting back to people like way faster

284

:

than I am So and also you're just

very genuine in all your responses.

285

:

So I really appreciate that Andy and

yeah It's cool that you're now able to

286

:

You know, kind of take what stood in the

way and made it to become the way, you

287

:

know, in the very stoic virtues, right,

is making the obstacle become the way.

288

:

So, um, that's really cool, Andy.

289

:

And, uh, yeah, really,

really happy for you, man.

290

:

And glad to see you doing well

and doing big things with that

291

:

Alley Tour Nationals, man.

292

:

I mean, I've been, I've been rocking

with you guys for a while now.

293

:

And.

294

:

Freaking love everything

you guys have out.

295

:

Uh, when I was down in Sedona

this last time, was able to pick

296

:

up some of the meteorite scrub

and some more of the gold serum.

297

:

Uh, really, really nice.

298

:

Uh, real quick, what, what is it

in the, in the meteorite scrub?

299

:

That's, uh, the like

little balls in there.

300

:

Oh, well we have a little lava rock.

301

:

We have olive pit, cherry pit,

obviously ground meteorite powder

302

:

from a meteor that landed in Morocco,

which I think is kind of cool having

303

:

that little cosmic aspect in it.

304

:

Um, and we have California poppy seeds.

305

:

A little tribute to California, but it's

like a tri level exfoliant system, small,

306

:

medium, large, just so you're getting

with rounded exfoliants, uh, so you're

307

:

getting a good exfoliation, but without

all the harsh cutting angles that some

308

:

exfoliants, walnut holes, pomegranate

shells, stuff like that can do.

309

:

. Yeah.

310

:

It's really cool too.

311

:

Cause I love when I see you going out to

like Egypt and stuff and then sourcing

312

:

new items and, and, you know, finding

like what's on the cutting edge or not

313

:

even cutting edge, but what's been used.

314

:

Generations in that region.

315

:

And, uh, that was one of the things I

wanted to ask was like, what are, uh,

316

:

what are some of the like more kind of

like unsuspecting ingredients that you

317

:

found that were just incredible for your

skin, but you would have never guessed

318

:

that they would be something that would

make its way into, uh, skin formulation.

319

:

Uh, I would say freshwater pearl powder.

320

:

I would say, uh, the colostrum mother's

milk from, uh, cows to their calves,

321

:

uh, first four hour milking grass,

but colostrum is loaded with really

322

:

good, uh, trace minerals, nutrients,

IGF one growth factor components.

323

:

So during, you know, combined with

the vitamin C at the cell turnover

324

:

process, you're just creating a

really healthy, uh, collagen layer.

325

:

And, um, let's see what else.

326

:

Um, Oh, uh, you tip my, uh, the, the,

you, it's, it's almost like a pine oil,

327

:

um, that I source from, uh, it has these

taxanes, which are apparently they, they

328

:

mitigate the, the, the cancer cells in

our body taxanes, T A X A N E, uh, so

329

:

it's loaded with that and it actually

it's in our meteorite scrub as well.

330

:

And I want to.

331

:

explore, um, some other elements,

impossible products with that as well.

332

:

But, uh, that, that's another fun one.

333

:

Um, you know, it's just,

but the whole time tested.

334

:

You know, process of exploring plants,

different, you know, tallow now beef fat.

335

:

I even explored that, uh, you

know, with our night cream years

336

:

ago, but I didn't put it in.

337

:

I was going to, it was a big element

of my night cream, but we, I wanted to

338

:

get into whole foods and that was on

like the restricted list of ingredients.

339

:

Um, I just feel like there are so many

different ways to extract positive

340

:

elements from plants, animals, uh, soil,

rocks, minerals, you name it, to create

341

:

medicine that, uh, I mean, we're all, you

know, so close to nature and the earth.

342

:

So I just feel like those

elements work with our.

343

:

Uh, skin and our overall

health, uh, it's funny.

344

:

You bring up the classroom.

345

:

That's something I was going to ask you

about because you actually, I think the

346

:

first time I really saw colostrum on an

ingredient list was from your products.

347

:

And then obviously here recently with

a tri armor, it's really blown up

348

:

the colostrum, uh, game basically.

349

:

And, and.

350

:

For me, I actually started trying

colostrum for my gut health to see

351

:

kind of what that would do there.

352

:

Uh, it turns out it just

boosted my immunity like crazy.

353

:

And so now that's like the primary

reason I, I take it, I, I ingest it.

354

:

But yeah, I was really, um, it was really

cool to see that you had it first in

355

:

your products, like at least for me.

356

:

And, uh, it's really neat because

people always look at what we're

357

:

eating as being like, One of the most

important things for health, which

358

:

absolutely is, but they also fail to

remember that, you know, skin is a mat.

359

:

It's the largest organ, right?

360

:

I mean, it's huge.

361

:

It's covers our whole body.

362

:

And as well, when you put on it, it

is going to be absorbed and used.

363

:

And so I always love when I, uh, I

forgot where it was, but I saw you

364

:

put one of your products in your

hand and just lick it straight out of

365

:

your hand and consume it, which is.

366

:

Probably how most of the

skin products should be.

367

:

I mean, to a degree, obviously

I know there's some boundaries

368

:

there, but that was really awesome.

369

:

I love that..

370

:

that.

371

:

No, thank you.

372

:

It's, it's extremely important.

373

:

You know, you mentioned it,

your skin is your largest organ.

374

:

It's also the largest

detoxifying organ as well.

375

:

So, I mean, things like clays can help

in that, uh, impurity removal process,

376

:

essentially detoxifying our bodies from

heavy metals and environmental pollutants.

377

:

But, um, yeah, just, you know, as far

as what we put on top of our body.

378

:

It's going to be absorbed within seconds.

379

:

You know, there's a study that

women leave the house with over 150

380

:

government recognized carcinogens daily.

381

:

You know, with the combination of makeup,

hairspray, perfume, lipstick with that

382

:

pathway and entry system, it's just scary.

383

:

You know, we have to really, uh, do

a better job of you know, getting a

384

:

better glimpse into our ingredient

decks and explaining exactly what's

385

:

in our products to the consumer.

386

:

Um, I think it's dishonest

and it obviously can lead to.

387

:

accelerating the aging process.

388

:

It does, you know, many of these

ingredients do not serve the

389

:

skin and our overall health.

390

:

Um, so we have to really get

a better glimpse into that.

391

:

And so things like think dirty, the E.

392

:

W.

393

:

G.

394

:

They have really good ways that you can

scan your barcodes from, uh, and get a

395

:

0 to 10 rating on the claim cleanliness

of the ingredients in the product.

396

:

So that's super important for,

um, the consumers to be aware of.

397

:

Yeah.

398

:

Super important to be aware of.

399

:

Um, from a personal standpoint, I think

I was mentioning this to you last time,

400

:

but you know, my mom's a hairdresser

and she is surrounded by all kinds of

401

:

hairsprays and shampoos and, you know,

chemicals of, of every kind of nature.

402

:

And, um, you know, like kudos

to her because, uh, she did,

403

:

she had, uh, breast cancer, uh,

right in the beginning of COVID.

404

:

And, you know, she, she went through

with, uh, you know, removal and

405

:

chemo and And, uh, all of that.

406

:

And, and she pulled through, she's

doing amazing and she's doing well now.

407

:

Um, love to see it, but you know,

I, I can't help but think that, you

408

:

know, I mean, there's obviously so

many factors that play a role, but

409

:

it's like, she obviously spends

a majority of her time in that.

410

:

area and, you know, breathing in

all of those different chemicals

411

:

like can't be good for that.

412

:

And of course, I know there's other

things as well, like I saw, uh,

413

:

with like consumption of alcohol

for women as like a direct link in

414

:

increasing chances of breast cancer.

415

:

So there's a lot, but one thing that

we could easily control is like the

416

:

things we're putting on ourselves

every single day, you know, in her

417

:

case, yeah, she's working in a.

418

:

Uh, in a hair salon, but, uh, for the

average person, like, you know, it is a

419

:

choice that you're making each day when

you're putting on some kind of a product.

420

:

Yes.

421

:

Oh man.

422

:

I'm so glad your mother's doing well.

423

:

My mom had breast cancer

also and she beat it.

424

:

Um, yeah, it's, you know, just the

household products to, you know, our

425

:

detergents, what we're putting into, you

know, uh, clean our laundry sheets, our

426

:

pillows and things like that, that we're,

you know, laying on at night right there.

427

:

Um, yeah.

428

:

You know, it's just, uh, got to be careful

of that because, you know, our skin is so

429

:

porous and we can absorb those, you know,

from sweating, working out, just, I mean,

430

:

that's a big one, I would say, you know,

absorbing all that laundry detergent that

431

:

is so heavily, uh, fragranced that, um,

yeah, we just have to be careful of all

432

:

elements, you know, wherever we are with

what we're putting onto our, our skin.

433

:

And thank you for that as well.

434

:

Andy.

435

:

Um, I know from what I've heard,

like your mom is, has been a

436

:

pretty big influence in your life.

437

:

I mean, I, as, as most moms are, but,

uh, I think for you specifically,

438

:

she's been a pretty big influence.

439

:

Huh?

440

:

Oh, absolutely.

441

:

Yeah.

442

:

My, my mom is my everything.

443

:

Uh, yeah.

444

:

Uh, yeah.

445

:

Yeah.

446

:

She's just an angel on earth.

447

:

She unconditionally has been so supportive

and, Uh, just loving ever since I can

448

:

remember, she's had the biggest effect

on me as an individual that I can, uh,

449

:

I don't even have to think about it.

450

:

Yeah, my mother's very,

I'm very close with my mom.

451

:

She's very special to me.

452

:

That's awesome, man.

453

:

What's it, what's, uh, what's like one of

the biggest takeaways or, uh, uh, biggest

454

:

lessons that your mom's taught you?

455

:

Kindness, how thoughtful she is.

456

:

How generous she is.

457

:

She's so curious about others

and helping others all day long.

458

:

Not all day long now, but obviously she's

retired, but she, uh, she's a sponsor for

459

:

like three different people in Al Anon.

460

:

Uh, she does so many just

things for other people.

461

:

Uh, she's an incredible friend.

462

:

She's just an amazing human being.

463

:

Yeah.

464

:

Uh, very, very special.

465

:

Person on this earth.

466

:

For sure.

467

:

Yeah, I love my mom.

468

:

No, yeah, she sounds like an

amazing person and also, uh, a

469

:

great addition to the community

of this communal humanity here.

470

:

Um, I think that's something we definitely

need more of is just a good connection

471

:

with our, our neighbors and our community.

472

:

It's something we're lacking and Um, you

know, my fiance, she, uh, she's her, her

473

:

dad's from Columbia, mom's from Venezuela.

474

:

And, you know, these are very like

different, uh, in comparison to the U S

475

:

in terms of their styles of community, you

know, they're much more communal and, uh,

476

:

a collective, you know, and, and really.

477

:

Not, not necessarily always relying on

each other, but like, having a helping

478

:

hand out and ready to, to give help,

you know, and she, she tells me stories

479

:

of her grandma, like, making a huge

batch of some kind of a meal that, like,

480

:

she's never going to eat all of it, but

it's to distribute to everyone else,

481

:

you know, and she's just It's filling

up like whatever container she has and

482

:

it's like, you know, then, then they're

bringing it back and when they bring back

483

:

their container, it's like usually with

food and you know, she's like a grandma

484

:

living alone, but like, she's never alone.

485

:

You know, there's people passing

by every single day and saying

486

:

hello and, and yeah, sorry.

487

:

It's I, I personally just think that's

something we need so much more of.

488

:

I know.

489

:

I agree.

490

:

I agree being of service to others.

491

:

That's really cool.

492

:

And yeah, it's absolutely something that

I experienced when I travel, man, I feel.

493

:

At home with people that I, I met,

you know, spent hours with inviting

494

:

me into their homes and people from

the community coming in and meeting

495

:

this dude, this American dude.

496

:

And, and then next thing you know, I'm,

I'm keeping in touch with them daily doing

497

:

FaceTimes, you know, we're both trying

to figure each other's language out.

498

:

It's, uh, yeah, anyway.

499

:

Yeah.

500

:

So it's, I agree.

501

:

Wholeheartedly and I come back from those

trips just so full and then I mean, I

502

:

don't know too many people here in Sedona

yet So we'll see how that goes, but I I

503

:

just wherever I go I always travel alone.

504

:

But yeah, like you said those those

elements of just community bringing me

505

:

in so welcoming Gosh, yeah, I do agree.

506

:

We need more of that.

507

:

Yeah, and you said you went

to, uh, to Machu Picchu, right?

508

:

How was that Sacred Valley, man?

509

:

Oh, yeah, it was.

510

:

I spent a lot of time in the Andes

Mountains, you know, hours, just a lot of

511

:

work with, you know, with my higher power.

512

:

And I had a shaman with me too.

513

:

And, um, walking me through the process

for weeks, you know, and just really, um,

514

:

trying to absorb as much of the knowledge,

the sacred knowledge that I could.

515

:

Um, uh, Oizan Tambo.

516

:

Uros, uh, obviously Lima, Cusco, Pisac,

uh, Agua Caliente, Machu Picchu Pueblo,

517

:

all, I mean, it just, uh, you know,

because you're in an indigenous community

518

:

and it's just such a beautiful experience

to, um, share meals with them and

519

:

what, you know, observe how they live.

520

:

And I came back.

521

:

Just I mean, I was thinking about

going right back into this in December.

522

:

I just I miss it so much I

could live there for sure.

523

:

Yeah, the people are amazing food

and the overall energy is beyond

524

:

palpable You take it with you forever.

525

:

Hopefully

526

:

Yeah, that's, uh, the Sacred Valley is

where I actually proposed to Ashley.

527

:

Um, super happy, yeah, really happy I

made that choice, cause, uh, we, we ended

528

:

up, have you ever seen the Sky Lodge?

529

:

Those, uh, those capsules up

on the side of the mountain?

530

:

That you have to like, like

climb up to, to stay in them.

531

:

Oh man, I keep hearing about those.

532

:

How did I miss that?

533

:

There's actually, uh, like the

only brewery pretty much in the

534

:

area, which is really random,

but they have it right there.

535

:

Um, it's like right at the

base of where these pods are.

536

:

And so anyways, that's, yeah,

that's where I propose, man.

537

:

And it's, uh, I'm happy I did because

it's truly like one of the places

538

:

where when you're there, it's, uh,

It's a tangible feeling like you can

539

:

actually feel a sensation of very just

like calmness is what it felt like to

540

:

me like the entire time you're there.

541

:

It just feels Super calm, like a very

calm energy throughout that entire valley.

542

:

Wow.

543

:

How'd I miss that?

544

:

Yeah.

545

:

Can you send me any information on that?

546

:

Like where those little pods, that

specific area, I keep hearing about

547

:

it now, but I, I, I can relate, man.

548

:

Um, when I was up there at Machu Picchu

kind of like snuck underneath these

549

:

little ropes and just laid in the

grass man for had to be a couple hours.

550

:

Just right on the side of the mountain.

551

:

It is such a thick, beautiful, powerful

energy and the people there to, you know,

552

:

it's, it's all, it's all the frequency.

553

:

So like you're seeing, you're

feeling absorbing that, you know,

554

:

the, you know, the excitement, the

energy of other people that, you

555

:

know, are experiencing it as well.

556

:

It's powerful.

557

:

I, uh, yeah, everybody should

go to, you know, explore, you

558

:

know, the, the energetic sites

and they're all around the world.

559

:

They're here.

560

:

Absolutely here in Sedona.

561

:

Luckily, I'm so grateful that I just

wake up to Thunder Mountain right there.

562

:

But, um, yeah, it's,

it's like my new thing.

563

:

I love to explore ruins, sacred

sites, just the powerful ceremonial

564

:

energy that has been, uh, you know,

so many powerful moments happen.

565

:

Yeah.

566

:

Have you, have you been to Bali yet?

567

:

I haven't.

568

:

Dang it.

569

:

I have not, but I mean

that I'm absolutely going.

570

:

It's just kind of a, uh, although

I'm down to, you know, spend

571

:

a, you know, a while traveling.

572

:

So, but that, that's a big trip.

573

:

So gotta, gotta plan for it.

574

:

I'm not a big planner.

575

:

I just go.

576

:

I would say the two, two places where

I felt like, I mean, there, there's

577

:

been a few places that like, you can

feel a nice spiritual sensation, but,

578

:

uh, Bali as a whole, man, it's, uh, the

culture and the people are some of the,

579

:

just as a whole, they're like some of

the sweetest people I think I've ever

580

:

met and, uh, very kind, loving, um,

live by what they, what they preach,

581

:

you know, uh, they're huge into karma.

582

:

So like, that's, that plays like

a literal role in their lives and

583

:

you can just, you can feel it,

you know, like they're, they're.

584

:

They're not out there trying to

like ish will, uh, wish ill upon you

585

:

or, you know, harm you in any way.

586

:

Like, cause that's why, why

would you, why would you do that?

587

:

You know what I mean?

588

:

It's going to come back to you.

589

:

And, and so you can just feel it, man.

590

:

The people are, are

amazing, beautiful people.

591

:

Wow.

592

:

That's a powerful statement right there.

593

:

That's beautiful.

594

:

I have to experience that.

595

:

And I will.

596

:

Wow.

597

:

I've heard, I've heard a lot of that

in my, I have a very good friend that.

598

:

Yeah, I literally just moved

there from the States and

599

:

he's been there for a while.

600

:

Um, and loves it.

601

:

And he's raising his family there.

602

:

And, um, so yeah, I

have to go check it out.

603

:

Yeah.

604

:

It's, it's definitely worth the visit.

605

:

I mean, Sedona is beautiful as well.

606

:

And you have some crazy, beautiful sites.

607

:

I mean, even just driving into

Sedona is like one of the wildest

608

:

experiences to see some of those

rock formations pop out of nowhere.

609

:

Yes.

610

:

Yes.

611

:

I know exactly what you mean.

612

:

Right off the 179 coming

in, seeing Cathedral Rock,

613

:

Bell Rock, Courthouse Manor.

614

:

Yeah, especially when you

get, it's getting colder now.

615

:

So when the snow comes in and like, kind

of like snow caps the Red Mountains,

616

:

it is insanely beautiful here.

617

:

Yeah.

618

:

And then you have obviously I mean it for

anyone who's watching this on YouTube like

619

:

you can see the room Wait, what is it?

620

:

Sorry?

621

:

Is this your house?

622

:

Okay.

623

:

Sorry cuz you're you're the store

that you have set up is Beautiful with

624

:

all the paintings you have going on.

625

:

So I was trying to figure out like

okay Is this the same place or not?

626

:

But uh Yeah.

627

:

Yeah.

628

:

I'm home now.

629

:

And, uh, but thank you.

630

:

Yeah.

631

:

You saw it.

632

:

You got a chance to come in

and see the headquarters.

633

:

Um, put a lot of, put so much work

and time and beautiful energy into

634

:

that really happy how it turned out.

635

:

It's a good place to just lock in

and obviously being here in Sedona,

636

:

having our team come to that hub of

energy every day, put a lot into that.

637

:

So still building it out, still getting.

638

:

You know, are making our

presence here in Sedona.

639

:

But, um, yeah, it's nice to be able

to ship, get products out every day.

640

:

And when we were working with the

fulfillment center, it was just really

641

:

hard for me, man, because there was so

much breakage and delays on shipments

642

:

and so many errors with, uh, with that.

643

:

And that process was so fun

for me in the beginning.

644

:

You know, shipping orders as they

would come in and putting our little

645

:

touch on it and little just gifts

to rate, you know, VIP, whatever

646

:

we want to do, we add that control.

647

:

And so being able to do that now,

man, Evan, I can't even tell, it's

648

:

just a big weight off my shoulders.

649

:

Uh, and yeah, our customers are loving it.

650

:

So it's nice to have our own spot.

651

:

We want to get a, like a nice

compound headquarters, but I

652

:

didn't really know where home was,

you know, until I found Sedona.

653

:

. And the hard work shows like when you

get there, it's a, it's a gorgeous spot.

654

:

So you, you definitely,

you did well with it.

655

:

Um, and like, I have to ask as well.

656

:

I'd be like, have you always been

into, uh, like skin care, skin health?

657

:

Like, has that always been a

passion of yours or is that

658

:

something that developed later?

659

:

Uh, no, but I was fascinated

with just solving a problem like

660

:

that makes it creates an emotion

and how we feel like I guess.

661

:

So I became interested in that and

then passionate on looking and feeling

662

:

good with different products as I

got into the entertainment industry.

663

:

But I would say, yeah, just having that

little cystic acne problem, 18 years old,

664

:

growing into your body, eating terrible.

665

:

foods from dorm, you know, kitchens

and high sugar, just trying to put on

666

:

weight, creatine, you know, my body,

you know, it was just kind of like,

667

:

it was a lot for my body to absorb.

668

:

Obviously, hormones are racing as well.

669

:

So, um, I, that was the first

time where I really took a

670

:

different Look into skincare,

but I didn't do it intentionally.

671

:

It was kind of just led onto this path.

672

:

I remember going into Chinese herbalists

His office right off Shattuck Avenue

673

:

and Burton Berkeley just started picking

his brain on health issues I think I

674

:

was trying to get a hair supplement.

675

:

I'm not sure what it was But,

uh, I found out about aqueous

676

:

extract from Flora, F L O R A.

677

:

I think they're still around.

678

:

That was my first

supplement I ever bought.

679

:

It was like, it was, yeah, just for

like a horsetail extract for hair.

680

:

And then, but why at 18 years old?

681

:

But this, uh, this herbalist was just

explaining the importance of cleansing

682

:

our blood and building our blood

from a head to toe level and just.

683

:

That's it.

684

:

Just got the wheels spinning on

ingredients and just how important

685

:

it is to take care of ourselves with

clean ingredients And so I went out and

686

:

switched up Clear a cell to like dove

soap just purely for like the lawn.

687

:

I just they didn't make Didn't

make sense to me at the time.

688

:

Keep in mind, I was 18.

689

:

It's not like I was going through

and analyzing what the ingredients

690

:

were, but I saw, you know, a

dove soap, five ingredients, two

691

:

of them were coconut derived.

692

:

Uh, one of them was like a

coconut derived surfactant.

693

:

And so, but I saw that and

it was just five ingredients.

694

:

So I started just using

Dove soap and it, you know,

695

:

experiencing benefits right there.

696

:

And so 18, 19 years old, I thought,

you know, I found out that I solved

697

:

an issue that really affected me,

you know, and so that was good.

698

:

I didn't have that cystic

acne anyone, any, any more.

699

:

And so I started doing things.

700

:

I think I went from that to buying like

a Dove eye cream and like different.

701

:

Just taking care of my skin,

you know, I guess I really

702

:

liked looking and feeling good.

703

:

I think it's important, you know, for

confidence levels just to have some

704

:

type of routine that works for you.

705

:

And I guess I started doing that

just to kind of collect myself in the

706

:

mornings and making sure we look sharp

before we leave the door to create a

707

:

better, you know, energy personally

and professionally, wherever we go.

708

:

Hey, I mean, it just

comes down to how we feel.

709

:

Like if we feel good leaving the house,

we're going to treat people better.

710

:

You know, if you have some little thing

that's annoying, you bugging you and

711

:

you leave the house with that, you're

going to carry that in every conversation

712

:

that you have people, you know, we're

smart, we can read energies very well.

713

:

And so I want to make mine

optimal as much as I can.

714

:

I didn't know all of that back

then, but that's really played a

715

:

big part in my life and performance

and just overall energy doing.

716

:

Anything that, uh, we go about in our

day, go about it with, you know, why

717

:

not go about it a hundred percent?

718

:

It's super true what you're

saying about looking good.

719

:

Like I know it sounds kind of superficial

sometimes when you hear people saying it,

720

:

but at the end of the day, it's so true.

721

:

Like, uh, whenever, you know, working

with people who are trying to get

722

:

healthier and obviously one of the

major side effects is you get better

723

:

looking when you get healthier, right?

724

:

Like you, you lose the weight, you know,

and you feel better, you look better.

725

:

And that plays.

726

:

Such a massive role in how you show up in

the world like when you feel good about

727

:

yourself when you step outside That's

such a game changer in so many different

728

:

ways and and truthfully like when you feel

better about yourself Like you're gonna

729

:

you're just gonna exude that and treat

people better as well And and using clean

730

:

ingredients is is a great way to make

sure for example, like you're not having

731

:

some of those side effects that can come

from A lot of these other products that

732

:

aren't as clean, you know, like maybe

they work short term, but you know, I've

733

:

seen with a few other skin products, like

they can start to dry the skin out, you

734

:

know, or they can just be super harsh.

735

:

So like right in the beginning,

yeah, maybe they do help your

736

:

acne or whatever it might be.

737

:

Uh, but then down the road,

you know, it's like this.

738

:

Really harsh chemical that you're

constantly applying to your skin.

739

:

And, and I think with, uh, with going

a more natural route, it might take a

740

:

little more time, you know, and, and

it usually does, but at the end of the

741

:

day, it's a lasting thing, you know,

and this is, and it's like zero side

742

:

effects, you know, which to me is always

like, why not at least try that first.

743

:

Exactly.

744

:

Yeah.

745

:

Um, you can just get such, you

can get exactly what you want.

746

:

from ingredients from nature.

747

:

I think, I strongly believe

they're just as effective.

748

:

Sure, there's some pretty profound,

uh, intense technology coming out,

749

:

you know, with laser, uh, different

oxygen, uh, plasma devices, you name it.

750

:

But, um, I just really believe in

the whole keeping it simple with just

751

:

cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate, repair.

752

:

You stay consistent with that routine

with exfoliating a few times a week,

753

:

taking a day or two off in between,

letting your skin recover, feeding

754

:

it with good ingredients while it's

healing and recovering, and then

755

:

just staying on top of your diet

as well, getting good sunlight.

756

:

Hydration is important and then the

different elements like red light, sauna,

757

:

hyperbaric oxygen, ozone, you know,

implementing all of those additional,

758

:

uh, you know, sources of technology

to optimize our health as well.

759

:

I mean, it's only going to help us all

encompassing, um, feeling good, you know?

760

:

Yeah, and you hit on, you

hit on two topics that I've,

761

:

I've wanted to ask you about.

762

:

So for one is, is definitely

with diet because obviously what

763

:

you're putting in is going to

show up externally as well, right?

764

:

A lot of the times like rashes and

things like that can be, uh, a sign of.

765

:

You eating something that's not

in accordance with your body.

766

:

And so, um, just kind of wondering,

like, do you have a, do you have a

767

:

specific diet that either you follow or

that you think is best for skin health?

768

:

Like, is there, or even certain foods

that you recommend people consume or,

769

:

or maybe avoid in terms of skin health?

770

:

When I was first getting into like my

recovery, that's when my, my diet and

771

:

nutrition supplementation was optimal.

772

:

It's, it's still, still very good.

773

:

Uh, it's not at the obsessive level

that it was, but I mean, back then

774

:

it was just, it just made sense to

me to feed my system with as many

775

:

nutrient dense foods, uh, as I could.

776

:

Um, and then eating organic grass

fed beef, organic grass fed lamb.

777

:

Eggs, nutrient dense foods, cruciferous

vegetables, sweet potatoes, beets.

778

:

Broccoli, brussel sprouts,

just with high vitamin content.

779

:

That's what I mean by like

a superfood, uh, spirulina.

780

:

Um, and then finding out a little

bit more about supplements.

781

:

Um, it can get really up to like

methylene blue and nicotine and all that.

782

:

Or you can keep it simpler with,

you know, things like creatine

783

:

and amino acid profile for your

workouts and things like that.

784

:

But I also like to get now.

785

:

I'm more on like, um, food based nutrition

with things like, uh, still brussel

786

:

sprouts, uh, fermented vegetables, elk.

787

:

Only specifically is my meat, meat,

beef as well when necessary, but

788

:

elk is something I really like.

789

:

Sockeye salmon, you

know, powerful animals.

790

:

Um, you know, everything that we eat

and consume becomes a part of us, so

791

:

we want to make sure strategically,

if you can, to make it badass.

792

:

And, um, uh, so that's what I do.

793

:

for protein usually, um, eggs, elk

and grass fed beef, sockeye salmon,

794

:

uh, good fats, avocados, coconut,

some nuts every now and then, cashews

795

:

and almonds, um, coconut yogurt, uh,

goat milk yogurt, goat milk kefir,

796

:

um, just getting good probiotic

bacteria to help with your gut health.

797

:

Um, and then I, I do fast 16 hours.

798

:

So like, say if I haven't eaten

yet today, I'll probably eat.

799

:

I don't know, I may eat

after this, so it's 12.

800

:

17 now, so maybe like 1, but

I ate last night at 8, so 4.

801

:

12.

802

:

We're looking at a 15 hour,

no, 17 hour fast, right?

803

:

So, um, yeah, I mean.

804

:

That's, that's pretty much what I, what

I like to do, just, just consuming as

805

:

many nutrient dense foods as I can while

staying hydrated with good water, changing

806

:

the oil, so to speak, with niacin and

sweating out any type of impurities,

807

:

impurities or toxins almost daily.

808

:

And so it just becomes

something that we got to.

809

:

You know, as we get older and, and start

to age, like we just got to be more aware

810

:

of and kick up our, uh, personal care.

811

:

Yeah, and, uh, I know you mentioned

sunlight exposure, which I'm

812

:

definitely a fan of sunlight

exposure, uh, specifically, like,

813

:

morning sunlight exposure and,

uh, evening sunlight exposure.

814

:

Like, those are the times where

I really try to, to get out and

815

:

get, you know, sun on the skin.

816

:

Um, midday, I usually, uh,

don't, don't usually go too

817

:

much out in the, in the sun.

818

:

And also like during the winter when I'm

like losing my tan, it takes me a while to

819

:

get that back before I can have that up.

820

:

And so, uh, yeah, without

getting sunburned.

821

:

So usually I, I stick to like the earlier

time of the day is usually when I get most

822

:

of the sunlight, but There's this, uh,

obviously this huge movement on sunscreen.

823

:

So what's kind of your

take with sunscreen?

824

:

Like, where do you think it has a

place in terms of, you know, protecting

825

:

the skin and, and do you think it's

like truly evil or, or not as evil?

826

:

Like what, what, where's

kind of your stance on that?

827

:

I mean, I really do personally believe

that, uh, the, the sunscreens, I mean,

828

:

I don't want to say the names, but,

uh, that there are just Most of the

829

:

sunscreens on store shelves are toxic.

830

:

And I feel like then baking in

the sun, baking those toxins.

831

:

I mean, you look at an ingredient

deck, sunscreen, non nano zinc,

832

:

titanium dioxide's okay, but

I'd rather go non nano zinc.

833

:

So like a zinc based sunscreen with

good organic, ideally components

834

:

and ingredients in that formula.

835

:

You don't really have,

you don't have to add in.

836

:

All of those, uh,

carcinogenic ingredients.

837

:

I mean, so I do believe it's important

for people with that are very,

838

:

uh, that have issues with the sun,

but, um, nobody's really nailed it.

839

:

I think there are a couple

of good sunscreens out there.

840

:

I don't personally use it.

841

:

I feel, you know, this is just my

theory that my, my skin has gotten

842

:

used to the sun and I do believe

in the benefits of sunlight.

843

:

Direct on the skin, at

least 20 minutes a day.

844

:

Right around 20 minutes is

like the sweet spot, I guess.

845

:

But like, yeah, like you said, in

the morning or evening, when you

846

:

get those good red, uh, red rays.

847

:

But um, I would Yeah, it's, uh, we're

going to make one next year, but, um,

848

:

it's going to be obviously as clean as

I can make it and as effective as I can

849

:

make it, maybe with a little tint too.

850

:

It's kind of like give it a

little tinted moisturizer with

851

:

the SPF, um, that could help.

852

:

So I, yeah, like I said,

nobody's really nailed it yet.

853

:

And so we want to, I under, it's a

very, we get, it's a most commonly asked

854

:

question when we're going to make one.

855

:

I just don't use one.

856

:

And I.

857

:

but it, uh, we should bring one

to market and we're going to soon.

858

:

That's a promise.

859

:

It's just, I got kind of locked in on

sidetracked on some other products,

860

:

but we're going to be making one a,

you know, there are a lot of so many,

861

:

um, conflicting opinions on sunscreen.

862

:

That's mine.

863

:

I just believe in really, you

know, taking care of yourself.

864

:

Uh, with diet and, um, you know,

diet can play a big part and how,

865

:

you know, it can have some, I think

Astaxanthin has some quote unquote

866

:

sun protectant properties as well.

867

:

Astaxanthin is located in.

868

:

Uh, salmon.

869

:

I mean, it's just, yeah, so I think

diet can play a part eating really

870

:

good nutrient dense foods, fruits,

vegetables, and a good, um, amount

871

:

of protein and good fats as well.

872

:

And just, uh, with good antioxidant

capacity to help, you know, counteract

873

:

free radicals and any sun damage as well.

874

:

That, that, that could, you know,

play a good part in just lessening

875

:

the, I guess, the effects of The sun

that are damaging to the skin and

876

:

the overall, but I, I do feel like

there are some benefits to it as well.

877

:

It's tough, tough subject, but we're

going to be coming out with the product.

878

:

Well, first off, I'm excited

to see what you come out with.

879

:

That's gonna definitely be something

I would, I would pick up for

880

:

myself because I, I don't usually

use sunscreen, um, but I do have.

881

:

Occasions where like, if I know I'm going

to be at the beach all day long, um, sure.

882

:

I'll try to cover up midday with, you

know, wearing clothes and whatnot.

883

:

But, uh, if I, if I am out in this

time, it's like, especially if I

884

:

haven't built up my base tan, then

I absolutely will go ahead and

885

:

try to throw on like the cleanest

sunscreen that I could possibly find.

886

:

So a sunscreen usually lasts

me a very long period of time.

887

:

Cause I'll usually get my sun

exposure earlier on in the day.

888

:

And then, yeah, just

come later in the day.

889

:

I'll, I'll try to cover up with clothing.

890

:

You know, wear a hat and, and,

uh, just get some clothes,

891

:

uh, some coverage on there.

892

:

Just, um, yeah, because that

midday sun can definitely take

893

:

its toll on me, especially.

894

:

Uh, so that's usually

kind of how I go about it.

895

:

I try to avoid it as much as possible.

896

:

Um, it's kind of, yeah, I'm not, I'm not

really, not really sure where to stand on

897

:

it as well, but I definitely think there's

some of them out there that are not.

898

:

Not helping us, you know what I mean?

899

:

And I've heard as well, like, people

saying that it, uh, like, stops vitamin

900

:

D, uh, production because you're putting

on that base layer and it's not allowing

901

:

for the cholesterol to grab the sunlight

and, you know, create vitamin D.

902

:

So, like, You know, I, I don't have

any studies to back that up, but

903

:

these are just kind of like hearsay

and, and, uh, kind of, kind of makes

904

:

sense just off of a Stan, you know,

like a basic standpoint, but, um,

905

:

yeah, so, but super excited for that.

906

:

And then you, you mentioned as

well, uh, some animal products.

907

:

So, uh, I know you have, well, you have

insect products, you have like, uh, uh,

908

:

B products in, in a lot of your things.

909

:

Uh, but are you looking

to also incorporate.

910

:

Like beef tallow or any of those

as well in the future in, in

911

:

any of your new innovations.

912

:

Yeah.

913

:

I mean, I was very interested

in emu oil, beef tallow.

914

:

I mean, this is 2012.

915

:

Um, so it's a possibility for sure.

916

:

Um, I, it'd be interesting to

see how my customers would.

917

:

If they'd be open to that, excuse

me, but I'm almost positive that

918

:

they would be so I don't know.

919

:

It's interesting It's a tough kind

of dicey subject, but I mean if it's

920

:

effective we're gonna use it So I

think emu oil tallow could play a part.

921

:

They're becoming popular now So I don't

really like to do what other people are

922

:

doing But yeah, I could see that for sure.

923

:

I'm always wheels are always spinning.

924

:

Yeah, no, and also, um, I mean, if

you're open to sharing, I would love

925

:

to hear some of the, the products

we can look forward to from Alitora.

926

:

Cause I know, uh, I think meteorite

scrub, uh, the meteorite scrub and

927

:

like angel mist, those were some of the

newer ones that you released, right?

928

:

Oh yeah.

929

:

Yeah.

930

:

So I have a, uh, a leather travel

pouch coming out next week that

931

:

I literally just walked into.

932

:

a showroom in Florence,

Italy that I found online.

933

:

There's a big language barrier.

934

:

I, I wanted, I had this outside idea of

finding a leather manufacturer just in

935

:

that 24 hours that I was in Florence.

936

:

And I did.

937

:

And so, I, I went in, luckily I had

my design file because there was,

938

:

you know, we were communicating

through Google Translate.

939

:

I just face to face, I didn't have

the meeting set up or anything.

940

:

Luckily, he owned the company.

941

:

Uh, he comes in, like put

his glasses on, wonders what,

942

:

what, uh, what I'm doing there.

943

:

But, uh, I quickly tried to explain,

showed him the design file for this bag

944

:

that I was making that I couldn't find

a good designer or manufacturer for, but

945

:

I had like the bare bones base of it.

946

:

Right.

947

:

And so we went in and, oh,

that was April of this year.

948

:

Wait till you see this bag.

949

:

Like I, you know, I've been

fascinated with, you know, Tom Ford.

950

:

Uh, fear of God, Gucci Prada to

me, things like that, just with,

951

:

for their style, their detail.

952

:

And, um, to be able to duplicate that and

make something that I truly believe is

953

:

equally, if not better than all that, all,

I mean, from the inner print, from like

954

:

a vision that I had in Peru and Ayahuasca

with jaguars, hummingbirds, angel wings,

955

:

um, peacocks, and just the color flow,

the gradient flow inside of the pouch,

956

:

all full grain leather, the details,

the Chevron pyramid coming up, Alatura,

957

:

like, The police just getting to geek out

and create your absolute dream fashion

958

:

products of my first stab at fashion.

959

:

But man, did that wake

up a beast inside of me?

960

:

Cause now it's like when you find

somebody that can duplicate your

961

:

vision, that's the, it's the most

important part, you know, getting a

962

:

good manufacturer and getting a good.

963

:

You know, I have a contractor

that I'm working with because

964

:

obviously the language barrier

we got kind of a middleman that's

965

:

working out of Milan right now.

966

:

He's from Jordan.

967

:

He's awesome.

968

:

So he and I really hit it off.

969

:

Who knows we could do.

970

:

You know, maybe a little travel

pouch, maybe get into leather,

971

:

uh, apparels, wear like a jacket

as well, like a jacket or boots.

972

:

I just, I'm, I love to create.

973

:

And so this is my first stab at the patch.

974

:

Wait till you see it, man.

975

:

I haven't seen anything better than

that, including, including, you

976

:

know, looking into the Louis Vuitton.

977

:

We took different aspects,

obviously success leaves clues, but.

978

:

Oh, it just, it's sick.

979

:

I cannot wait anyway.

980

:

So that's coming out next week,

but there's a huge story behind it.

981

:

We put a bow on that.

982

:

That's going to be in the

store in under eight months.

983

:

That's crazy.

984

:

You know, um, doesn't

normally happen like that.

985

:

Seven years on my meteorite scrub.

986

:

Right.

987

:

So these things take time.

988

:

I'm, uh, yeah, I'm obsessed for sure.

989

:

And I, you know, if you can make

something perfect, I'm definitely

990

:

going to do my best to do that,

you know, to my, to my vision.

991

:

And so.

992

:

Yeah, it's, uh As you can see, it's

a very, you know, creating is just

993

:

what I, you know, one of the biggest

things I love to do because you get

994

:

to build on a daily and then blow

yourself away daily with certain things.

995

:

Or, you know, it's not that

good, you know, it's just the,

996

:

the rollercoaster of that.

997

:

It can be really exciting.

998

:

, and I, I kind of see.

999

:

The, yeah, the influence of what you

were saying with the whole vision with

:

00:55:38,346 --> 00:55:42,166

like the hummingbirds, the jaguars,

I like, uh, there's a little aspect

:

00:55:42,166 --> 00:55:43,416

of that in your store as well..

:

00:55:43,466 --> 00:55:44,326

Yes.

:

00:55:44,966 --> 00:55:45,366

Yeah.

:

00:55:45,366 --> 00:55:46,476

I'm glad you saw that.

:

00:55:46,516 --> 00:55:50,626

It's a very personal,

special quality product.

:

00:55:51,096 --> 00:55:55,046

That I'm proud of, um, you know, so

I'm just, it'll be interesting to

:

00:55:55,046 --> 00:55:56,736

see the customer response to that.

:

00:55:57,076 --> 00:55:58,776

And then, um, let's see.

:

00:55:59,046 --> 00:56:03,006

So next year I'm going to be working

on finishing up my, uh, shampoo,

:

00:56:03,016 --> 00:56:04,896

leave in conditioner and conditioner.

:

00:56:05,386 --> 00:56:08,526

Um, hopefully putting

a bow on our deodorant.

:

00:56:08,546 --> 00:56:11,726

That's already finished, I just need

to find a good packaging for it.

:

00:56:12,366 --> 00:56:16,266

Um, a sunscreen and an eye specific gel.

:

00:56:16,831 --> 00:56:20,371

To, uh, to help with fine lines

and wrinkles around the eye area.

:

00:56:20,391 --> 00:56:23,251

So, yeah, we're gonna be

busy next year for sure.,

:

00:56:23,251 --> 00:56:24,181

I'm excited for that.

:

00:56:24,181 --> 00:56:27,261

I'm really excited for

the deodorant, actually.

:

00:56:28,411 --> 00:56:34,781

Deodorant has been one of the

things that, for myself, uh, I

:

00:56:34,781 --> 00:56:40,061

feel like I haven't really found

a super Good clean deodorant yet.

:

00:56:40,111 --> 00:56:41,691

I'm absolutely going to give that a try.

:

00:56:41,871 --> 00:56:43,211

Um, what is it that like?

:

00:56:43,846 --> 00:56:46,846

What is it that you've done with

your deodorant to like in terms of

:

00:56:46,846 --> 00:56:48,556

like the scent and what what is it?

:

00:56:48,556 --> 00:56:50,176

That is in normal deodorant.

:

00:56:50,186 --> 00:56:51,206

That's so bad.

:

00:56:51,236 --> 00:56:52,686

That's not gonna be in yours

:

00:56:53,056 --> 00:56:58,466

Um, I mean, we're, it's going

to be like with the base of

:

00:56:58,466 --> 00:57:00,326

like charcoal, baking soda.

:

00:57:00,816 --> 00:57:04,416

Uh, we just removed all the harsh

fragrances, which is usually,

:

00:57:04,736 --> 00:57:05,976

especially in that absorbable.

:

00:57:07,581 --> 00:57:11,961

Area underneath, you know,

the underarms and armpit area.

:

00:57:12,321 --> 00:57:17,861

Uh, you know, those blood vessels

are so, uh, you know, they

:

00:57:17,861 --> 00:57:22,531

absorb, you know, that's a very,

um, what am I trying to say?

:

00:57:23,171 --> 00:57:24,281

Like a porous kind of, yeah.

:

00:57:24,281 --> 00:57:25,361

Porous area.

:

00:57:25,361 --> 00:57:28,541

So, I mean, the absorption of those

toxins that you're rubbing underneath

:

00:57:28,541 --> 00:57:30,941

it are gonna be, you know, directly.

:

00:57:32,396 --> 00:57:33,796

you know, entering your system.

:

00:57:33,796 --> 00:57:37,966

So in your bloodstream, so you

want to make sure that area is, you

:

00:57:37,966 --> 00:57:43,906

know, not, you're not introducing

any toxic ingredients into that.

:

00:57:44,306 --> 00:57:50,786

Um, but yeah, I mean, the deodorant

is something that is still, you

:

00:57:50,786 --> 00:57:52,336

know, we're using German chamomile.

:

00:57:52,356 --> 00:57:54,766

We're also using the Sontol black formula.

:

00:57:54,766 --> 00:57:57,786

So we're going to be at two

different variations scent wise.

:

00:57:57,816 --> 00:58:01,026

But, um, like all of our products,

it's going to be toxin free.

:

00:58:01,026 --> 00:58:04,856

And, um, uh, yeah, like you said

that, I mean, that's why I stopped

:

00:58:04,856 --> 00:58:09,306

using deodorant is because of, uh,

just the laundry list of government

:

00:58:09,316 --> 00:58:10,756

recognized carcinogens in them.

:

00:58:10,756 --> 00:58:12,466

So we, um.

:

00:58:13,546 --> 00:58:16,146

with every one of our products,

we don't have anything like that.

:

00:58:16,176 --> 00:58:17,306

That's where we stand out.

:

00:58:17,526 --> 00:58:22,946

So we, um, yeah, looking forward to

releasing those and yeah, but really

:

00:58:22,986 --> 00:58:28,436

excited to get after hair care and

just removing all the toxic ingredients

:

00:58:28,436 --> 00:58:32,816

and foaming agents and things

that don't serve our hair or skin.

:

00:58:32,816 --> 00:58:36,426

So that's the project that

I'm really excited about.

:

00:58:36,426 --> 00:58:40,786

yeah, super cool I'm uh, I know one

of the reasons I stopped using like

:

00:58:40,786 --> 00:58:49,121

the harsh deodorants was I was told

that Your armpits are a large place

:

00:58:49,121 --> 00:58:52,841

for detoxification, obviously, like a

lot of sweat and, you know, removal of

:

00:58:52,861 --> 00:58:54,731

toxins and stuff can occur in that area.

:

00:58:55,011 --> 00:58:59,651

Um, and putting the improper things

in there could block it up or,

:

00:58:59,871 --> 00:59:01,591

uh, be adding to the toxic load.

:

00:59:01,591 --> 00:59:03,961

So that was definitely one of the

reasons I moved away from that.

:

00:59:03,961 --> 00:59:06,671

And, uh, yeah, it's the same thing with

the, with the hair products as well.

:

00:59:06,671 --> 00:59:09,661

Like you were saying, um,

a good styling gel as well.

:

00:59:09,671 --> 00:59:11,531

If you haven't already put

some thought into that would

:

00:59:11,541 --> 00:59:14,691

be a, uh, Plates to go as well.

:

00:59:14,691 --> 00:59:15,881

I would really appreciate it.

:

00:59:16,611 --> 00:59:22,291

Um, Yeah, I was also going to ask, so

what, uh, where, where would you start

:

00:59:22,291 --> 00:59:25,391

someone off with the skincare products?

:

00:59:25,391 --> 00:59:28,551

Like if they, if they had never

heard about Alitura, cause I know

:

00:59:28,551 --> 00:59:30,941

there's going to be a few people

listening to this that definitely

:

00:59:30,941 --> 00:59:32,301

haven't heard about Alitura before.

:

00:59:32,531 --> 00:59:34,981

Um, where would you start

them off with products here?

:

00:59:35,291 --> 00:59:36,821

With our four step facial?

:

00:59:36,821 --> 00:59:40,661

I think that right there is an

all encompassing way to cleanse.

:

00:59:41,256 --> 00:59:43,426

Exfoliate, hydrate and repair.

:

00:59:43,426 --> 00:59:47,406

Basically cleansing with the pearl

cleanser, exfoliating with the meteorite

:

00:59:47,406 --> 00:59:49,776

scrub or the per or the clay mask.

:

00:59:50,216 --> 00:59:53,926

And then following with the moisturizer

post cleanse and exfoliation.

:

00:59:54,156 --> 00:59:55,436

Well, I like the gold serum.

:

00:59:55,446 --> 00:59:57,326

Some people like the moisturizer as well.

:

00:59:57,886 --> 01:00:00,986

Um, I like the gold serum because

it's, it's like a concentrated

:

01:00:00,986 --> 01:00:02,896

moisturizer with active ingredients.

:

01:00:03,246 --> 01:00:07,746

So if you follow up your exfoliating with

a really healing concentrated moisturizer

:

01:00:07,746 --> 01:00:11,096

like the gold serum, you're going to help

condition that area and develop a thicker

:

01:00:11,096 --> 01:00:15,466

collagen layer with ingredients like

copper peptide, uh, plant derived vitamin

:

01:00:15,466 --> 01:00:16,806

A that we have in there, marine collagen.

:

01:00:17,521 --> 01:00:19,591

CoQ10 and astaxanthin.

:

01:00:19,591 --> 01:00:23,931

It's a collection of active ingredients

that really help heal the skin and

:

01:00:24,821 --> 01:00:27,791

moisturize and, uh, post exfoliation.

:

01:00:27,801 --> 01:00:30,111

So then you want to seal

in the results at night.

:

01:00:30,691 --> 01:00:31,681

with the night cream.

:

01:00:31,791 --> 01:00:33,351

It's a really rich formula.

:

01:00:33,391 --> 01:00:38,181

We have k factor 16 manuka honey, two

different plant derived stem cells and

:

01:00:38,181 --> 01:00:42,811

vegan hyaluronic acid to really heal and

condition, uh, during the most important

:

01:00:42,821 --> 01:00:44,901

time to do so before you go to bed, right?

:

01:00:44,911 --> 01:00:48,481

So when you're in one position for

hours, you want to know that this thicker

:

01:00:48,501 --> 01:00:53,351

consistency, which we have with our night

cream is in that area and doing its job.

:

01:00:53,761 --> 01:00:57,666

Um, so you wake up refreshed,

feeling better, Uh, looking better

:

01:00:57,666 --> 01:00:58,616

than you did the night before.

:

01:00:58,616 --> 01:01:03,596

It's, it's an absolute, it's a, it's

a really powerful, uh, you know, just

:

01:01:03,856 --> 01:01:07,476

when you use it and when you don't, you,

it's a big, big difference for sure.

:

01:01:07,476 --> 01:01:10,106

Yeah, the night cream might actually

be my favorite product from you guys.

:

01:01:10,176 --> 01:01:13,016

I like the way it smells and,

and also just the, like you were

:

01:01:13,016 --> 01:01:14,406

saying, the thick consistency on it.

:

01:01:14,406 --> 01:01:17,006

It's something that's super nice and

almost like when you wake up in the

:

01:01:17,006 --> 01:01:17,966

morning, it's still kind of there.

:

01:01:17,966 --> 01:01:18,476

You can kind of.

:

01:01:18,891 --> 01:01:21,511

Give a little rub in to,

to move it in a little bit.

:

01:01:21,511 --> 01:01:23,661

And, uh, yeah, it's, it's one

of my favorites for sure..

:

01:01:23,711 --> 01:01:24,911

That's exactly what I do.

:

01:01:26,206 --> 01:01:26,476

Yep

:

01:01:26,656 --> 01:01:27,006

Yeah.

:

01:01:27,326 --> 01:01:32,936

Um, well, Andy, uh, coming towards

the hour portion of this episode,

:

01:01:32,936 --> 01:01:36,426

which is usually where I try to,

uh, keep these episodes so that

:

01:01:36,426 --> 01:01:38,256

they're digestible for listeners.

:

01:01:38,496 --> 01:01:42,616

Um, cause I'm sure I could talk to

you for a few more hours easily, but,

:

01:01:43,016 --> 01:01:45,666

um, yeah, Andy, I would just want

to kind of give you this platform

:

01:01:45,666 --> 01:01:47,096

right now and, and share kind of.

:

01:01:47,446 --> 01:01:49,646

You know, what's going

on with Alitura as well.

:

01:01:49,646 --> 01:01:51,116

I know it's, uh, during the holidays.

:

01:01:51,126 --> 01:01:54,696

So if you've got any big sales

coming up or, uh, anything you want

:

01:01:54,696 --> 01:01:58,296

to mention to the listeners and,

and share where they can find you,

:

01:01:58,326 --> 01:02:01,206

connect with you, all of that good

stuff, uh, please take the floor.

:

01:02:01,256 --> 01:02:03,046

Yeah, no, first off.

:

01:02:03,046 --> 01:02:05,376

Thank you so much for

having me on your podcast.

:

01:02:05,996 --> 01:02:08,996

Um, yeah, just, uh, we're really excited.

:

01:02:08,996 --> 01:02:12,636

We just launched our new

store here in Sedona, Arizona.

:

01:02:13,026 --> 01:02:18,366

Um, actively working to, uh, get

our new releases into the store,

:

01:02:18,366 --> 01:02:20,181

working on a sunscreen haircare.

:

01:02:20,541 --> 01:02:25,451

And, um, our new leather travel pouch

made straight from Italy will be in the

:

01:02:25,451 --> 01:02:27,721

store by the end of the end of next week.
