Recently launched at JB&C, Kat Burki brings a science-first approach rooted in healthcare and biochemistry, designed to heal and transform skin at the cellular level.

We sat down with founder Kat Burki to talk about her inspiration, philosophy, and what makes this new brand a game-changer in the beauty space.

    Can you tell us about your inspiration and journey to starting a skincare brand?

    My background is in healthcare and disease management, and correspondingly, the science of how the body heals itself. It’s important to understand the role of micronutrients, delivery systems and biochemistry in healing - and this is true as well for our largest and external organ - the skin.

    I realized that skincare was focused on marketing rather than healing and true results. Kat Burki Skincare was born from the idea of creating formulas that harness the same principles of healing biochemistry, designed not only to treat but to transform the skin at a cellular level.

    Can you explain the three core principles of your formulations: Synergistic ingredients, bioavailability, and vitamin therapy?

    These are foundational core principles that hold true to our Nutrient Delivery System™ - First, synergy - we never look at ingredients in isolation. We design formulas where actives work together to amplify each other’s performance, never compete nor degrade the other.

    Second, bioavailability - a crucial concept based in pharmaceutical science and rarely observed in skincare - it’s about how the skin recognizes, uptakes and delivers the complex to where healing needs to occur. We’ve pioneered delivery systems that ensure the intelligent formulas are delivered where they need to be to create change.

    Finally, vitamin therapy - we harness clinical-grade vitamins as the foundation for skin health, correcting deficiencies and supporting the skin’s ability to repair, renew, and thrive long-term.

    What does “healing at the cellular level” mean in the context of skincare, and how do you achieve it?

    Healing at the cellular level is about restoring the skin’s innate ability to repair and renew itself. Every cell is like a miniature ecosystem - it needs the right nutrients, energy, and environment to function optimally. We make sure to deliver clinically validated ingredients through our Nutrient Delivery System™, ensuring they reach the cellular level where real change can occur. This is how we support things such as improved biome diversity, collagen reproduction, destruction of pigment build up, strengthening of fibers and improving laxity, replacing reactivity with health - addressing the root cause, not just the symptoms.

    What are your go-to powerhouse ingredients, and why?

    My go-to-powerhouse ingredients are contingent on the problem we want to solve - so this can change. However, with that said, Vitamin C is an essential (meaning our bodies do not make it on our own) active that can truly transform the skin. It’s clinically proven to boost collagen, brighten, and protect against free radicals. It also functions as an important co-factor to other ingredients; when paired correctly, it can really be a cornerstone for me in building an effective formula.

    Neuropeptides are another essential, as they signal the skin to rebuild and repair, directly addressing firmness and elasticity - when used correctly, they also have anti-inflammatory benefits. I also often rely on our proprietary PRO-B Vitamin Complex - it has vast and multi-functional benefits - it signals amino acid building blocks into action for tissue repair, while driving down inflammation, delivering intense antioxidant benefits, strengthening the skin, cellular repair, and smoothing fine lines. These ingredients, when combined appropriately, create long-term reparative benefits.

    Can you tell us about the Nutrient Delivery System™, and why it’s central to your formulations?

    Our Nutrient Delivery System is at the core of every Kat Burki Skincare formula because it ensures that powerful actives don’t just sit on the skin - they reach the cells where they can actually create change.

    We developed it to enhance bioavailability, so formulas are absorbed efficiently, and remain vital and stable. Without delivery, even the best ingredients are meaningless and sometimes can even cause irritation and inflammation. With it, we achieve the kind of clinical results we are known for that are both measurable and lasting.

    What does your personal skincare routine look like?

    My routine is built about clinical consistency rather than excess. Mornings will always begin with the Vitamin C Nourishing Cleansing Balm to cleanse and reduce any inflammation, followed by the Goji Refining Essence to refine and smooth my skin. I then layer in the BioCell Correcting Serum or C20 Velocity Serum depending on what my skin needs that day, and seal it with the Vitamin C Intensive Face Cream - which has been a staple for over a decade.

    At night, I focus on repair: repeating the Cleansing Balm, treating with our Form Control ™ Marine Collagen Gel for firming and finishing with the Super Peptide Firming Cream or Bio Correcting Cream depending on the current need. Twice a week I add a treatment mask. It’s efficient, purposeful and every step is about cellular healing.
