What are pre & postbiotics?
Prebiotics are substances that act as food for the good bacteria on your skin. Those types of bacteria act as your skin’s defences (eliminating bad microbes, keeping a healthy pH) so it’s important to keep them in top shape – especially if you have problems with your skin.
Postbiotics are substances that are produced by fermenting bacteria. They don’t need to be alive to work – unlike probiotics!
Your skin’s living shield
Pre and postbiotics can help regulate and improve your skin’s microbiota. But the effect can be different for each person, because every skin has a unique microbiome. Find out what works best for you and your skin’s living shield!
What about probiotics?
There’s a lot of hype around probiotics (we love probiotics in our food – be it kimchi, kefir or sourdough!), but in skincare, things are not that simple.
Probiotics are live bacteria and they will not survive in a skincare product (it can be achieved under certain conditions, but it’s expensive, awkward to package and transport and there’s still a good chance they won’t survive very long once you open your product).
You will see many brands claim they have probiotics in their products, but in reality, they have pre and/or postbiotics. We believe that is misleading, that is why we use (and SAY!) PRE and POST biotics in our essence – they can have great benefits for your skin without the issues that come with probiotics.
How to Use
Apply 2-3 pumps on clean skin. Should be applied after cleansing (in the evening) and before serums or moisturizers.
You can use this booster every day, both in the morning and in the evening. Find a routine that works best for you!
Ingredients
Acetyl Hexapeptide (Argireline)
This neurotransmiter peptide will help hydrate your skin and work against small wrinkles.
Cobiobalance prebiotic complex
This prebiotic complex helps regulate your skin microbiome, keeping your skin’s barrier in balance. It helps enhance you skin’s natural mechanisms of defence, keeping your skin healthy.
This Yacon juice extract is highly rich in beta-fructooligosaccharides, which feed the good microbes on your skin – keeping your skin’s defenses in top form. It also helps rebalance your skin’s pH towards the desired 5.5.
It is Cosmos and Ecocert approved.
Centella Asiatica / Gotu Kola
Centella Asiatica (or Gotu Kola, as it’s commonly known) is an amazing ingredient that stimulates the production of collagen and elastin in your skin. It has firming, regenerative properties and works as an anti-irritant that helps sooth skin inflammations.
Lactobacillus ferment lysate (Postbiotics)
Lactobacillus ferment lysate keeps your skin microbiome in balance while increasing skin tone and elasticity, minimizing wrinkles, providing deep hydration and increasing skin regeneration. It also helps to reduce redness and irritation.
