This scientifically tested prebiotic from chicory root helps balance and reinforce the human skin microbiota. A prebiotic is a fibre rich food used to feed healthy bacteria. Our skin is home to a rich, diverse ecosystem called the microbiome. The microbes form a barrier layer or ‘microbiota’ that acts like a microscopic forest cover. Just as in the gut, these microbe friends have benefits, including keeping away harmful pathogens like the bacteria that cause acne. Prebiotics restore balance to reduce irritation, itching or dry skin.

The results? For one thing this prebiotic is proven to result in an 80% reduction in the P Acnes bacteria over 24hrs.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) provides effective hydration. This clear gloopy substance is naturally produced by your body to keep cell tissues moist so you have bags of it already in your skin and eyes. Topping this up is hugely beneficial. The one problem with just adding it topically is it can sit on the surface. This creates a breathable surface barrier. But doesn't get deep into the skin. So in our formulations we also use Low molecular weight HA to plump the skin and smooth wrinkles. Along with Very Low molecular weight HA to go deeper into the skin with its hydration therapy.

The Resurrection Plant or Rose of Jericho takes hydration and cellular renewal to a new level. Living in deserts this hard fern allows itself to completely dehydrate. Only to spring back to life the next rainfall. Far from being a freak of nature, Rose of Jericho is so successful that scientists describe it as a living fossil, dating back some 570 million years. The biocorrectors that help the plant rehydrate, resuscitate cells and spring back to life have many similar benefits for skin.

The results? Hydrates skin by 49.5% in only 2 hours, supporting cellular metabolism, cellular vitality and renewal. It improves the appearance of luminosity and has an overall soothing effect on the skin.
