A healthy skin microbiome acts as a shield against harmful microbes, supports the skin's immune system, and helps maintain optimal pH levels. Factors like harsh skincare products, environmental pollutants, and excessive cleansing can disrupt this delicate balance, leading to issues like dryness, irritation, and breakouts.
Our Approach to Skin Microbiome Care
Our cleanser and moisturizer are thoughtfully formulated with ingredients that not only nourish your skin but also support a healthy microbiome. Here's how each component contributes to your skin's well-being:
Nanosilver
Nanosilver is renowned for its antimicrobial properties. In controlled amounts, it helps reduce harmful bacteria on the skin's surface without disrupting the beneficial microbes essential for a balanced microbiome. By targeting pathogenic bacteria, nanosilver aids in preventing breakouts and promotes a clearer complexion.
Squalane
Derived from olives, squalane is a lightweight, non-comedogenic oil that mimics the skin's natural sebum. It provides deep hydration, locking in moisture without clogging pores. By maintaining the skin's moisture barrier, squalane supports a hospitable environment for beneficial microorganisms.
Olive Leaf Extract
Olive leaf extract is rich in antioxidants like oleuropein, which protect the skin from environmental stressors and oxidative damage. Its anti-inflammatory properties help soothe irritated skin, promoting a balanced microbiome by reducing conditions that can lead to microbial imbalance.
Willow Bark Extract
Willow bark extract contains salicin, a natural precursor to salicylic acid. It gently exfoliates the skin, unclogs pores, and has anti-inflammatory benefits. By keeping pores clear, it prevents the overgrowth of harmful bacteria, supporting a healthy microbial community.
Hypericum Flower (St. John's Wort)
Hypericum flower extract offers antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps calm the skin, reducing redness and irritation. By soothing the skin, it fosters an environment where beneficial microbes can thrive.
GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid)
GABA is known for its calming effects on the nervous system, but it also benefits the skin. Topically applied, GABA can help relax the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines. While research is ongoing, a calm skin environment may support microbiome balance by reducing stress-induced skin issues.
Holistic Skin Health
Our products are designed to work synergistically, combining these powerful ingredients to cleanse, hydrate, and protect your skin without stripping away its natural defenses. By focusing on gentle, nourishing care, we aim to support your skin's microbiome, leading to healthier, more resilient skin.
Tips for Maintaining a Healthy Skin Microbiome
- Gentle Cleansing: Avoid over-washing and use mild cleansers that don't strip the skin of its natural oils.
- Moisturize Regularly: Keep your skin hydrated to maintain its barrier function.
- Protect from Environmental Stressors: Use antioxidants to combat pollution and UV damage.
- Mindful Ingredient Choices: Opt for skincare products with ingredients known to support microbiome health.
