With a Ph.D. in life sciences, a life-long passion for healing botanicals, and decades of fieldwork in neuropsychology, our founder, Dra. Monica Delgado was perfectly poised to develop a powerhouse natural wellness company. But she also knew that two PhDs are better than one. To compliment her artful touch with plant nutrients, Dra. Delgado sought out a rigorous collaborator with a sterling background in biochemistry and drug development.
Dr. Alexandros Makriyannis, Ph.D., is one of the world’s leading chemists in biomedicine, and the leading biochemistry expert on how cannabis receptors communicate with your brain. He’s our close collaborator and co-conspirator in finding ways to transform a simple, daily skincare practice into a comprehensively nourishing, centering, brain + body boosting ritual.
Dr. Alex currently directs The Center For Drug Discovery at Northeastern University in Boston, which he founded in 2005. His work there is the forefront of medicine development, drawing on his research into the endocannabinoid system, and his development of synthetic cannabinoids. His research has been reported in over 470 publications, and his working group has filed more than 40 patents for their pioneering breakthroughs.
Dr. Alex has been working tirelessly since the 1960s to discover new molecules in cannabis that produce astounding health benefits. Some of his most exciting findings have been in the realms of appetite modulation, metabolic disorders, obesity, and neuropathic pain.
Dr. Alex has the kind of scientific mind that can guide us all toward a better, healthier, and happier relationship with our bodies.
We remember to feed our bellies but forget to feed our skin!
Caring for your skin is the safest way to repair your mind-body communication. As scientists, we know how to set off a gentle whisper network of positive chain reactions among your cells.
Your skin runs so much more than skin deep. This seven-layer wonder is an active neuroendocrinoimmuno organ. It produces hormones, plays an important role in thermoregulation, and detects environmental signals for the nervous and immune systems.
As your body’s first line of defense, anything that happens to your skin sets off biochemical domino effects. As a permeable barrier, your skin is beautifully sensitive to the soothing powers of touch, but also easily stressed out: Your skin biome lives under constant attack from pollutants, aging, sun, and harmful chemicals and pathogens (including those found in most commercially available shampoos, cosmetics, and skincare). When you destress your skin by giving it the honest care it needs, your mind and muscles tend to follow down the path of relaxation.
At Doctora Sunshine, Dr. Alex and Dra. Monica are able to translate the world’s most inspiring research into enormously practical benefits. Dra. Monica and Dr. Alex combine their unique discoveries with extreme research rigor to bring you richly deserved skincare bliss.
We are always guided by this principle: The real transformative potential of all botanicals lies in their interactions.
We start with premium, superstar ingredients: lush, organic, whole-plant botanicals, and the highest grade, purest, full spectrum, cold-pressed CBD+. Then we work to uncover the most exciting combinations of terpenes (the aromatic compounds found in the oils of all flowers) and cannabinoids (the naturally-occurring, active chemical ingredients of the cannabis plant). We figure out which plants bring out the best in each other – and subsequently, in you.
Beyond our daily essentials, the Joint Cream and H2T Beauty Serum, we are building an ever-evolving collection of targeted skincare solutions, that are individually and cumulatively designed to help you feel fantastically in charge of your life.
Your best self is now entirely within your reach. But don’t take our word for it: shop our collection.
