Frequently Asked Questions
1. What makes Atlantik Body Care different from other skincare brands?
At Atlantik Body Care, we prioritize long-term skin health over short-term sensory experiences, which the industry often lures consumers into prioritizing at the expense of optimal skin health. Our products are crafted with only the purest, naturally sourced ingredients, as found in their natural state, which is a rare commitment in the natural skincare space. Our handmade skincare products are formulated using the highest grade, cold-processed, virgin ingredients from around the world, including potent seaweeds from the West Coast of Ireland and botanical extracts. The unique ‘Eco-C’ cold processing method, developed by Dr. Neil Maher, preserves the potency of these ingredients, ensuring that our products deliver unparalleled results. For example, third-party testing confirms that our Body Armour body wash has 80 times more emollients, 25 times more antioxidants, and 10 times more essential fatty acids than leading industry brands.
2. Are your products suitable for sensitive skin?
Absolutely! Our products are specifically designed with sensitive skin in mind. We avoid synthetic chemicals of any sort as synthetic additives can irritate the skin. We even avoid essential oils due to their higher concentration of volatile compounds that can be allergenic to some. Instead, we use only the gentlest, natural ingredients that nourish and protect the skin barrier, making them suitable for even the most sensitive skin. Our formulations are hypoallergenic and dermatologically approved to ensure they are safe and effective for all skin types.
3. How do Atlantik Body Care products help with skin issues like acne, eczema, psoriasis, etc.?
Many skin issues involve stubborn bacteria that form biofilms, which are tough to deal with. Our cleansing products tackle these biofilms, helping to reduce the presence of harmful bacteria. From there, our products fortify and strengthen the skin barrier, which is often compromised in skin conditions. Additionally, our formulations include anti-inflammatory and anti-itch ingredients that soothe and calm irritated skin. The high levels of antioxidants and essential fatty acids in our products promote healing and skin regeneration, making them effective for managing conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis. All of this is achieved using the
gentlest natural ingredients, ensuring safe and effective care for your skin.
4. Are your products tested on animals?
No, Atlantik Body Care is proudly cruelty-free. We do not test our products on animals, and we ensure that our suppliers adhere to the same ethical standards. Our commitment to sustainability and ethical practices extends to every aspect of our brand.
5. Can athletes benefit from using Atlantik Body Care products?
Yes, athletes can greatly benefit from our products. Sports often lead to skin issues such as breakouts, chafing, and bacterial infections due to sweat and physical activity. Our gentle, yet effective cleansing formulas remove sweat and bacteria without stripping the skin's natural oils. The high levels of emollients, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids in our products help maintain and repair the skin barrier, keeping the skin healthy and resilient.
6. Do your products help in preventing and healing scars?
Absolutely. Our products are rich in ingredients that promote skin cell renewal and collagen production, such as rosehip oil, sea buckthorn oil, and argan oil.
These ingredients help to reduce the appearance of scars and support the skin's natural healing process. The anti-inflammatory properties of our products also
help to calm and soothe the skin, reducing redness and irritation associated with scarring.
7. What are the downsides of using natural, as found in nature ingredients?
Using natural, as found in nature ingredients has a few trade-offs, but we believe the benefits far outweigh them. One downside is shelf life: natural ingredients without synthetic preservatives typically have a shorter shelf life. However, this does not affect our consumers significantly, as our Body Armour body wash, for
example, has an 18-month expiry date from production due to the natural preservatives inherently present in the ingredients. Another difference is foaming;
our body wash does not foam up as much as synthetic-laden products because it lacks synthetic emulsifiers. Nevertheless, using a loofah can help create foam
with natural products, enhancing the cleansing experience without compromising the purity and effectiveness of the ingredients. Despite these minor differences, our commitment to using only natural, as found in nature ingredients ensures that you receive the safest, most effective skincare products possible, promoting long-term skin health.
