Tales from Nature
Prebiotics are organic substances that nourish "good" microorganisms and counteract the proliferation of "bad" ones, to restore the balance of the skin microbiome.
Among the most commonly used in skin care and hair products are Phellodendron Amurense Extracts (Extract from the Cork tree) and Chrysanthemum Indicum (Chrysanthemum Flower Extract).
Hair Benefits
Some of the Prebiotics used in Napura shampoos (Active Plus Line) are Extracts from the Bark of Phellodendron Amurense (Cork Tree) and Chrysanthemum Flower Extract: they restore the healthy balance of damaged and irritated skin and scalp, the balance of unbalanced skin by going to reinforce the most important bacterial commensal of the skin, Staphylococcus Epidermidis and agents such as antimicrobials towards Staphylococcus Capitis and Cutibacterium Acnes (on the scalp it is involved in the development of oiliness).
Benefits Skin
The Botanical Complex of Phellodendron Amurense and Chrysanthemum Indicum, helps maintain healthy skin and protect it from harmful bacteria by supporting the natural skin microbiome and protecting it from external agents, restoring skin balance and preventing the growth of harmful bacteria and fungi, impurities, acne and irritation, while promoting the proliferation of beneficial ones.
Both of these actives lower inflammatory phenomena and reduce skin sensitivity In skin care products, these two plant extracts work synergistically to remove dead cells and stimulate cell regeneration, giving the skin a renewed and radiant appearance.
These actives stimulate natural defense mechanisms, protecting the skin from irritation and improving its ability to repair itself and the skin's texture, making it more even and softer. They also stimulate the skin's natural defense mechanisms, counteracting irritating agents and supporting healthy, vital skin.
They are perfectly compatible with all skin types, even the most sensitive, excellent for oily, combination, impure and acne-prone skin.
