Andy Hnilo, the CEO of Alitura, faced a life-altering incident in 2011 when he was hit by two cars in a pedestrian accident, resulting in severe injuries, including a compound jaw fracture, 7 broken ribs, and a collapsed lung. Dissatisfied with the conventional products recommended for his recovery, Hnilo, a former Division 1 athlete, delved into a journey of self-discovery to find unique, natural ingredients for skin healing. Through his own experimentation, he developed the Alitura Clay Mask, which not only expedited his recovery but also laid the foundation for Alitura Naturals.
