Kat Burki

What does nutrition physiology have to do with skincare? Kat Burki has investigated that question for years. The brand that bears her name has recently been completely repositioned. This luxury skincare line for skin and hair puts transparent biochemical principals and measurable results in the foreground. It’s worth taking a closer look at the principals of action.

Founder Kat Burki is an internationally recognized specialist for nutrition biochemistry as well as gut and skin health. After decades spent working in the health management field, she decided to put all the knowledge she had gained about metabolic, nutritional and healing processes into creating a modern skincare line. The decisive insight: the skin functions according to the same physiological principals as the rest of the organism. Whatever applies to the targeted supply of nutrition to the organs within the body can also be applied to the skin – as long as the formulations used don’t just sit on the surface but actually communicate with the deeper layers of the skin.

An especially interesting aspect of this program, in my opinion, is the focus on “essential” substances, those the body needs daily yet cannot synthesize by itself, for example, vitamins. It is just these substances that form the core of each skincare formulation. The brand is characterized by its clinically inspired formulation approach, which is based on three principals of nutrient absorption: maximal active ingredient bioavailability; targeted synergistic Ingredient combinations and high-dosed vitamins to support repair and regeneration processes. No fillers are used.

These formulations address inflammation, strengthen the barrier of the skin and promote both immediately visible improvements as well as long-term skin integrity. The product lines are designed to systematically support various skin conditions – from prevention to targeted corrective measures to the most intensive regeneration.

Thanks to these principals of action, the Kat Burki products achieve impressive treatment results that are quickly apparent and long lasting. My assessment: the relaunched brand fully deserves frontrunner status in the – as yet to be established – international rankings of pioneering high-end skincare.
