January 2, 2003 -- Cosmetic Surgery & Skin Care News hails CA Botana botanical skin care lines as most effective skin care available. CA Botana leads new trend in skin care  moving away from over the counter products. Frustrated by medicine cabinets full of skin care products that over-promised and under-delivered, more and more women (and men) are heading to their doctor's office for solid answers about good skin care.  In this recent article meet Dieter Kuster, PhD. CEO and chief chemist, Skin Effects.        Heralded as “the Einstein in emulsion technique,” Dieter Kuster’s vast knowledge in the botanical and liposomal fields makes him the leader in combining nature and science to create advanced, results-oriented beauty products. After earning an undergraduate degree in biochemistry and a Ph.D. in philosophy, Kuster established CA Botana 25 years ago to research and manufacture uniquely effective skin care products based on plants, extracts and herbs. To meet the increasing worldwide demand (CA Botana products are sold in 70 countries around the world), for natural, non-toxic cosmetics that correct, maintain and reverse skin problems, a state-of-the-art facility was built in San Diego in 1983. Centuries-old wisdom is inherent in every CA Botana formulation. Ayurvedic medicine and ancient Egyptian, Chinese and Native American herbalist are combined with the expertise of skilled herbalists and physiotherapists to create a product line that is ancient at its roots but thoroughly modern in its manufacturing technology and anti-aging promise. As a young child forced to learn how to survive and fend for himself in war-torn Germany, Kuster developed a future-oriented philosophy of action that leads him to think always of what can be attainable tomorrow. “If you are a good scientist, you always strive for more perfection,” he states, emphasizing, “If you stand still, you go backward.” What does Kuster see as he looks forward? “A healthy life expectancy of 120 years.” Thanks to CA Botana and its continuing development of innovative products, Kuster believes those additional years can be years of botanical beauty.   G.S.
