I’m very excited and proud to feature the SkinHealix skin care products by Actiogen on my website. With SkinHealix for the face and body, Actiogen has combined the best of nature’s botanical ingredients with expertise in biopeptide science to put a fresh and healthy spin on familiar skin-care products.
I was first drawn to the Actiogen products through Chandra Zaveri, the inspiring founder of the company. Despite being born into one of the wealthiest families in Calcutta, India, Chanda decided to start over in the U.S. penniless. She ran away from an arranged marraige shaming herself and her family in the process. “I used to dream about the Nobel Prize,” says Chanda, who frequently quotes Mother Teresa. “I just wanted to live in the U.S. and be my own person. I wanted to get a Nobel Prize, because that meant I had helped the world.”
Chanda came to the U.S. at 17 and received her master’s degree in molecular biology from the University of California, Santa Barbara. She went on to pursue additional research at the California Institute of Technology, where she studied under Dr. Linus Pauling, a pioneer in the study of vitamin C and the only two-time independent Nobel Prize winner.
Chanda built Actiogen on her true passions: curing cancer, healing wounds, and sequencing the proteins in the human body.
The common thread—all her product are inspired by the challenges of those who suffered from damaged or disfigured skin as a result of a medical issue. Her mission became personal with her own suffering. She was stricken leukemia, ironically, as a result of handling radioactive materials in her research to cure cancer.
When her skin become discolored, dry and shed off her hands, she used the experience to invent products to alleviate the discomfort cancer patients can experience. The result is the Silk-C Serum, which is now used around the world allowing customers to turn back the clock on their skin by smoothing its texture and restoring its youthful color. “The skin is the biggest and most neglected organ in the human body,” she says. The money Actiogen earns through the sale of skincare products goes to support her research. Her findings are helping doctors diagnose disease and genetic disorders without invasive and expensive testing.
All SkinHealix products start with a botanical base and use clean, active formulations with no potential for irritation. Many skincare products these days contain chemical ingredients that, while legal, have been linked to cancer. SkinHealix uses natural, non-toxic ingredients that are safe for everyday use.
One of my favorite products: Silk C Serum
Developed as a direct result of Chanda’s work with Dr. Pauling, SkinHealix offers a vitamin C-based serum for the skin. Dr. Pauling treated himself with three to four grams of powdered vitamin C mixed with honey, administered homeopathically. He saw beneficial results from vitamin Cand went on to study its effects on cancer. Dr. Zaveri kept Dr. Pauling’s analysis, and the fact that the skin needs citamin C to synthesize collagen, in mind when developing this tri-peptide formulation. In a twelve-week trial of Silk C Serum, participants found:
- Increased elasticity and firmness of the skin, giving it a taut, lifted appearance
- A smooth, radiant skin texture
- Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
- Reduced dryness and irritation
- Lighter skin blemished and reduced hyper-pigmentation
- Reduction of dark circles and puffiness around the eyes
The Silk C Serum product is anhydrous, meaning there is no water in the formulation. This provides users with a stable formula. Most vitamin C products on the market lose their potency very rapidly. With Silk C Serum and the essential fatty acids in the formulation keep the vitamin C from oxidizing without the use of preservatives,.
SkinHealix Family of Products
We are all very used to our skincare routines — face wash, toners, lotions and so on. SkinHealix products take this regimen and add a refreshing, healthy spin.

Another Amazing Product: AngioHealix
Outside of the traditional skincare line, Actiogen makes an all-natural wound management product called AngioHealix. AngioHealix uses the restorative power of ACT peptides and biologically active molecules. This product facilitates the rapid formation of granulation tissue to promote healing, reduce scabbing and eliminate scarring. It is perfect for use after surgery or simply to keep the skin looking youthful and tight.
Start Using SkinHealix
SkinHealix products are typically available only through a dermatologist. I have the privilege, however, of offering them for purchase in my online shop. With your order I also include a fifteen-minute follow-up phone call to discuss the proper use of the products and provide recommendations based on your skin. Although you can use all their products together without any downside, I recommend starting with a couple and see how you like it. I believe you won’t be disappointed.
