SK-F (SKIN)

SK-F (Skin Formula): Clear Skin From the Inside Out

Rooted in the 50-year naturopathic legacy of Dr. Paul and Alzona Goss, SK-F is formulated on a foundational herbal principle: true skin vitality begins within. When internal elimination pathways become sluggish, the skin often reflects the burden. SK-F delivers an intentional synergy of eight botanical extracts designed to support liver detoxification, soothe the digestive tract, and nourish skin tissues at the cellular level.

Botanical Mechanisms & Academic Evidence

• Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra): Rich in mucilage polysaccharides that coat and soothe the gastrointestinal mucosa, promoting optimal gut barrier integrity and nutrient assimilation essential for skin resilience.

• Comfrey Root (Symphytum officinale): Traditionally utilized for tissue maintenance; contains allantoin and phenolic compounds that support cellular regeneration and structural protein organization.

• Chaparral (Larrea tridentata): Supplies nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), a potent antioxidant compound traditionally used to protect cell membranes against oxidative stress and promote systemic cleansing.

• Kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum): Delivers bioavailable organic iodine, essential trace minerals, and fucoidans that support normal metabolic function and dermal hydration.

• Valerian Root (Valeriana officinalis): Modulates neurotransmission to help ease nervous tension and calm stress-related physiological responses that impact skin equilibrium.
