At Reålea, we’ve reimagined skincare as a ritual that blends the timeless wisdom of traditional alchemy with cutting-edge insights from modern science. Our innovative approach harnesses the full potential of Nature’s three kingdoms—Plant, Mineral, and Animal—creating products that are truly greater than the sum of their parts.
Through meticulous alchemical processes, we transform ingredients into potent skincare formulations, rich in natural antioxidants, essential vitamins, and bioavailable nutrients like retinol and vitamin C. Every product is a masterpiece of care, craftsmanship, and science.
A New Standard of Freshness
At the heart of Reålea is our commitment to transparency and quality. Each product is handcrafted in small batches by our founder in Santa Rosa, CA. Unlike mass-produced products, our skincare is always fresh, shipped directly from our cold-storage unit to ensure maximum potency and effectiveness.
Alchemy in Action
Guided by the principles of spagyric alchemy, we use time-honored techniques to preserve and amplify the healing intelligence of each natural ingredient as well its unique bioactive components. Our process avoids harsh solvents and high-heat extraction, ensuring the purity and integrity of every element. We also apply astrodynamic timing, aligning our work with natural cycles to enhance the subtle energies within our formulations.
A Living Tradition
Our founder’s journey bridges centuries of alchemical wisdom and modern innovation. Trained under master alchemist Robert Bartlett, he brings an interdisciplinary approach to alchemy and skincare. With a foundation in the Paracelsian tradition of hermetic alchemy, Reålea's unique approach incorporates as well the wisdom and techniques of Ayurvedic, Chinese, and Unani traditions of alchemy. By combining ancient knowledge with modern chemistry, we advance a living tradition that prioritizes safety, efficacy, and the transformative power of Nature.
