These days, everyone’s buzzing about skin health, and that not all microbes are the bad guys. Just like healthy bacteria are good for the gut, your skin’s microbiota is too. The microbiota is made up of billions of microorganisms - like a bustling city: bacteria, fungi, and yeasts living on your skin’s surface, keeping things balanced and happy.
When your skin microbiota is in harmony (with the good guys outnumbering the bad), your skin glows, stays hydrated, and feels comfy. But when the balance tips, say hello to dry, irritated, ageing and dull skin.
With more consumers catching onto this skin-microbe love story, we’re seeing a surge in product launches riding the prebiotic and microbiome-based ingredient wave.
But before diving into the fabulous actives we offer, let’s quickly clear up the probiotic-prebiotic-postbiotic trio — they get confused a lot!
Probiotics: These are the living little helpers — like the friendly bacteria in your probiotic yogurt, but for your skin. They bring the good vibes (and health benefits) when applied topically.
Prebiotics: These are the food for the good microbes, think sugars, fibers, and carbs that encourage the ‘good bacteria’ to thrive. We offer a fantastic range of ingredients packed with prebiotic power to help your skin’s microbiota flourish.
Postbiotics: These are the by-products of our microbial friends such as enzymes, peptides, and other cool molecules they produce that can boost skin health.
Here’s the best part: all the actives we offer fall under the prebiotic category. That means they don’t add any live bacteria (so no worries about formulation stability).
They just feed the good bacteria already living on your skin, helping them grow strong and keep your skin microbiome happy.
