When I started K3 Nutriments, my mission was simple: create clean, effective products people could actually trust. We began with supplements—but it wasn’t long before I saw the same problems showing up in the skin care world: too many brands hiding behind buzzwords, selling hype instead of results.
I didn’t want to be one of them. If we were going to enter skin care, we had to build products that lived up to the same standard as everything else we make at K3: clean ingredients, backed by real science, with visible results.
Here’s how we did it—and why our skin care products are different from the rest.
It Started With a Need for Better
If you’ve read my story about expanding into skin care, you already know this wasn’t a marketing decision. It was a personal one. My wife and daughter care about what they put on their skin, and I do too. I couldn’t find products that checked all the boxes—so I decided to make them.
We weren’t interested in riding trends. We wanted formulas that made a real difference for real skin. And that meant starting with the right standards:
- Made in the USA, in FDA-registered, GMP-certified labs
- Vegan and cruelty-free, no compromises
- No synthetic fragrances or harsh fillers
- Backed by research, not influencers
Ingredients That Serve a Purpose
We don’t use trendy actives for the sake of a label. Every ingredient in our formulas serves a clear purpose—whether it’s repairing the barrier, hydrating deeply, firming the skin, or calming inflammation.
Here are the pillars behind our skin care products:
1. Hydration That Lasts
We use hyaluronic acid to pull water into the skin—but hydration doesn’t stop there. It has to be sealed in. That’s why we include plant-based oils like jojoba and apricot kernel that mimic the skin’s own lipid barrier. This helps prevent moisture loss, irritation, and dryness.
2. Peptides That Signal Real Change
Our Advanced Multi Peptide Cream isn’t just another moisturizer. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that can signal your skin to produce more collagen, improve firmness, and smooth fine lines. We chose a blend of peptides that support multiple levels of skin repair and function—without irritation.
3. Antioxidants to Fight Inflammation
Our Red Tea Antioxidant Serum is built around rooibos extract—an antioxidant-rich botanical shown to calm reactive or stressed skin. Inflammation plays a massive role in premature aging, and antioxidants help fight that at the source.
4. Simple, Smart Formulation
We don’t overload our formulas with 30 ingredients. We use what’s necessary—and we use the highest quality versions available. Less is more when the actives are dialed in and thoughtfully paired.

Built for Real Skin, Not Marketing Campaigns
Most people don’t have perfect skin—and that’s exactly who we formulate for.
Whether you’re dealing with dryness, dullness, fine lines, or just trying to age well without harsh chemicals, our skin care products are designed to support you. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all routine or a 12-step regimen. It’s about giving your skin the essentials it needs to stay strong, smooth, and resilient.
Here’s how I recommend starting:
- Use the Red Tea Antioxidant Serum in the morning to calm inflammation and protect your skin.
- Follow with the Advanced Multi Peptide Cream to support hydration, barrier health, and firmness.
- Use the Cucumber Eye Cream at night to gently reduce puffiness and support the delicate under-eye area.
- Always apply SPF during the day—none of it matters if you're not protecting your skin from sun damage.
It’s simple. And it works.
Inside-Out Skin Care
One of the things that sets K3 apart is that we don’t treat the skin like it exists in a vacuum. It’s part of your whole system. Your gut, your hormones, your immune health—all of it impacts your skin.
That’s why our approach to wellness always includes both internal and external support.
Our supplements are designed to reduce inflammation, support healthy skin from within, and give your body what it needs to thrive. Pair that with our topicals, and you’re supporting your skin from both directions.
What to Expect
Skin care isn’t instant—but when it’s done right, it delivers lasting change.
We recommend using any new product consistently for 4 to 8 weeks before judging results. That’s how long it takes for real improvement in hydration, firmness, and clarity to show up. The key is consistency—not perfection.
And if you're not sure where to start, we made it easy to shop the full skin care line right here.
Why This Matters
I didn’t create K3 to be just another supplement company. And I didn’t launch skin care products just to check a box.
We do this because people deserve better. Clean formulas. Honest sourcing. And products that live up to the promise.
If you’ve tried other skin care before and walked away disappointed, I get it. I built these formulas for people like you—people who want more from their skin care and won’t settle for less.
Thanks for trusting us with your health—and now, your skin.
