About Phyto-C
Dr. Mostafa Omar revolutionized skincare by inventing topical vitamin C, he is truly the father of vitamin C.
History
Phyto-C Skin Care, founded by Dr. Mostafa Omar in the 1995, is a brand rooted in the potent powers of natural botanicals combined with the scientific rigor of the pharmaceutical industry. Dr. Omar, a pharmacist and professor, is credited with stabilizing the first topical Vitamin C formula, a groundbreaking innovation that paved the way for a new era in skincare products. This development was especially significant given that Vitamin C, while known for its anti-aging and antioxidant properties, is notoriously difficult to stabilize in skincare formulations. The success of this formulation solidified Phyto-C's reputation as a pioneer in the skincare industry.
Building on this monumental discovery, Phyto-C has continued to innovate, harnessing the power of various botanical ingredients. Over the years, Phyto-C's range of products extended to include products formulated not just with Vitamin C, but with other powerful ingredients that cater to various skin concerns.
Our commitment to combining nature's potency with scientific research has ensured that Phyto-C Skin Care remains at the forefront of the skincare industry, continually offering products that prioritize both efficacy and natural ingredients.

The human touch:
The Irreplaceable skill
The formulas are then filled in the hands of only three artisan-level quality control specialists. After the formulas are filled, each bottle is manually sorted depending on its aesthetics, separating out those with even minor imperfections.
The quality control’s rigorous six step process is performed entirely by hand, with vigilance and caution no machine can replicate – which is why Phyto-C stands unmatched in its field.
It’s a standard of excellence that is embodied in Phyto-C, the benchmark applied to all skincare that guarantees the company’s quality criteria – the strictest in cosmeceuticals – have been met.
Every single detail is taken into account to achieve the best conceivable result. All elements of a formula (including the ingredients, the inside and outside packaging, manufacturing) are immaculately finished.
These deft procedures may be the most time- and labor-intensive part of Phyto-C formulations.
Bringing a formula to life:
In the laboratory of Dr. Mostafa Omar, research and development are completed in their entirety. It is important that each ingredient and ultimately each formula is given the individual attention it requires so that every formula leaving Dr. Omar’s headquarters withstands the test of time and the excellence expected from those using it. Dr. Omar continually strives to perfect and extend his research into every single component, constantly refining the essential link between history and cutting-edge techniques.
Dr. Omar’s formulations perpetuate traditional pharmacognosy, favoring ancestral expertise by respecting entirely artisan hand work, with no intervention other than the traditional knowledge, technology, and mastery of top universities and dermatologists.
Every ingredient becomes the key focus of the formula when Dr. Omar contemplates the patience and precision in the formulation of every product. The degree of craftsmanship are exemplary within the industry. The care, patience, and attention given to each ingredient is tremendous. The artisan quality-control specialists require 182 hours of training before fully transitioning into their role as an individual contributor. Even though single ingredients are not measurable when products are sold, it is very important that the formulation passes a rigorous 6-step quality control procedure before being ready to be received. This level of care is what gives Phyto-C Skin Care formulas their identity, their value, and their expected results
