Andy Hnilo argues that skin problems like redness and scarring come from internal inflammation and disrupted digestion, worsened by antibiotics and synthetic additives. He names natural alternatives like jojoba, rosehip, and marine collagen, and explains his philosophy of clean formulations and sustainable packaging without microplastics.
How are you? All right. Just got asked a beautiful question about what was it? Redness, scarring, inflammation, which is the root of all disease. I firmly believe. Now, this is just my opinion. I just get asked these questions and then I have to, like, keep them to myself. My brother Luis just arrived because of, like, this being forwarded because of. You know, I understand dermatologists and doctors, and I understand that. However, just please hear me out. Now, a lot of this antibiotics and what's the other one? Steroids. All these products I probably shouldn't mention, so I don't get fired, you know, in trouble, but I got to speak my truth. I believe the root of all these skin issues is absorbing the, you know, not only these pollutants and the stress that cause causes, but like our body's inability to digest we're not supposed to do. I believe in certain cases, yeah, steroids, I guess. I guess I got to say that. But like all these things, the kidney, liver, like all these lack of natural elements and ingredients. I believe that's the root of all these skin issues and these causes of just disrupting our digestive system and going, wait, what was that pill that we never had way back? Hello, everybody. By the way, I'm just fired up. I gotta go work out and hit the sauna. But this is also just my truth and passion. How's everybody doing this morning, by the way? So, yeah, I just believe that the root of all these skin issues is inflammation cause in our internal inability to digest these antibiotics. And these just creates an issue on the surface which is the root of all these things internally. Right. So in combination with natural products. Natural. I gotta highlight May Lindstrom and Amory Gianni in the process of. I believe us to be. Yeah. At the forefront of all that. And so, like, just using. Whether it's us, them. Just pay attention. Grab the bottle and turn and look what's inside of that. The sodium benzoate. Here's some examples. Butylene glycol, propylene glycol, isoprene glycol. The glycerin that is often soy based, counteracts our own estrogenic components that we have a lot of us have enough of. And it's just getting fed more with all this toxic stuff that's in our additives and synthetic fillers and toxic fillers, toxic fragrance. Get it from nature, in my opinion. You know what I mean? And all these ingredients that just. We didn't have hundreds of years ago, these synthetic additives, not only in the. Hello, let me give you guys waves. What's up? I appreciate you stopping by and hearing me out. I appreciate. I just love what I do. And it was all an idea because I couldn't find anything on the shelves. So I created my own just with natural elements and ingredients based on following what was internal in my soul and just mitigating that process, which is the root of all issues is inflammation. You know, skin inflammation. And so our body shows what's going on. So if we're disrupting. Hey, Lucia. Luciala. I don't know if it's Lucy or Lucy. Lucia Lagarda or. How's it going, everybody? Great morning to you. Happy Friday. So, yeah, I just, you know, I answer these questions in DMs and I'm happy to always will. 11 years into this, doing the same thing daily since 2014, giving you guys the love and respect because I love what I do. This was all an idea. So how do I not just pay it forward and go, thank you, thank you to all of you. It's just the truth. And so, you know, examples of ingredients. Right. I'm just reading mine, but that's why I highlighted others too. Jojoba oil, olive oil, witch hazel, which is like a beautiful astringent type base that we use in combination with rosewater, rosehip oil, hemp seed oil, marine collagen, Hawaiian beeswax, Coq 10 bupropolis, astaxanthin, Medicago sativa, which is organic alfalfa derived, high potent form of vitamin A, which is, I believe, beautiful for the skin. Ghku, Copper tripeptide. Hello. Essential oils, Neroli, rosado, Australian sandalwood, frankincense, carrot seeds. So you're not seeing that. Glycerin, the alcohols that are just loaded in to so many products, sometimes in various different forms. Oh, nice. Tucson. Hello. A few hours away. Tucson gem show. Hopefully you've gone to that. I haven't yet. Jeez. And I say that looking at my beautiful obelisk. Hello. But yeah, fired up on this beautiful Friday morning and was just answering. Oh, you do? Which is one of your favorites. Please let me know. I get a kick out of it because they're not all different. It's often gold serum, clay mask, pearl. Sorry, it's just the truth. But what do we hear? Well, those and then. But it's awesome when you guys see the. The beauty that I put in and the beauty in the other products. Because all the intention was just one by one. Oh, what an opportunity to create. So how do I show people the love That I put into this. Right. And that meaning that, like, our supplement in our. My razor. Right, My razor. Like that. A lot of love went into that because I didn't want to have the microplastics. A lot of razors added to this. Just an example. I was gonna build, like, a whole razor system. Because what's something we're doing daily? Well, men often shaving. So that microplastic and then the aluminum, the tin. We're using brass. Nice, heavy weight to allow for control. And also, I just thought it was cool. I wanted to make an awesome brass razor, but just this took forever, which is great. It should take a long time with the little engravement and then just being able to replace the blades as needed with no microplastics. Just an example of what the obsession that goes into every single product and always will for the rest of my life. Because I plan on doing this for the rest of my life and hope you guys are awesome. I need to go sweat it out. Cold serum clay mask. You like all. Thank you. Yeah, I appreciate that very much. They're all grand. Rising. Philly, what's up? How are you? Yeah, just so much goes into this. It's all love, too. One by one. And the ingredients. I just. Hello, everybody, from beautiful Sedona. What an opportunity today is. My soul is on fire because of you guys and because of these awesome questions that I get. This is part of my opportunity, which is purpose with alatura. And it's important to remind you all, not only the person that creates it, me, but. But, like, what goes into. Oh, am I already out? Because I use it all the time. Do I have a backup? You better believe it. And this one's already out. Almost out, too. It's because I use it a million times throughout the day because I can feel confident in the ingredients, just what I put into it, what I put into everything, which is a lot of love. All right, have a great rest of your day. Appreciate you all stopping by, and we're going to continue to do this. What an opportunity. All right, see you. Big love.
