Prebiotics, microbiome, balance

Three key words for healthy, strong and glowing skin

There is an invisible universe living on your skin.
An ecosystem of microorganisms, "good" bacteria, yeasts, enzymes.
We call it skin microbiome, and it is much more than a trendy word: it is the your skin's first defense system.

When the microbiome is in balance, the skin is stronger, brighter, more vital. When it is out of balance, irritation, redness, impurities, dryness or sudden sensitivity appear.

And this is where the prebiotics, specifically the Botanical Complex of Phellodendron Amurense (Extract from the Cork tree) and Chrysanthemum Indicum (Chrysanthemum flower extract), silent but very powerful allies, capable of nourishing the skin's "good" bacteria and rebuild skin harmony.

These are two plant actives that act in synergy to gently exfoliate, stimulate cell regeneration and natural defense mechanisms, and lower inflammatory phenomena, protecting the skin from irritation and improving its ability to repair itself.

But what exactly are prebiotics?

Prebiotics are. natural substances that act as selective nourishment for the beneficial microorganisms already on your skin. Basically, they are the preferred "food" of your microbiome.

They do not contain live bacteria (like probiotics), but they help the good ones multiply, while inhibiting the harmful ones. They are perfectly compatible with all skin types, even the most sensitive, excellent for combination, oily, impure and acne-prone skin.

Result: a more balanced, less reactive, naturally more beautiful skin.

The benefits of prebiotics on the skin

They promote the profiling of good and beneficial microorganisms for the microbiome and rebalance the skin's bacterial flora
They selectively inhibit pathogenic bacteria (S. aureus, P. acnes, S. capitis)
They calm inflammation and reduce skin sensitivity

They strengthen the skin barrier, protecting against external agents

They promote cell turnover, for visibly brighter skin

They help prevent and reduce impurities, itching, acne and irritation

They improve the texture of the skin, making it more even and soft
They counteract oxidative stress

Key Active Ingredients

- Berberine (from Phellodendron): natural antibacterial, selective toward pathogens - Linarin (from Chrysanthemum): potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant

The Biological Mechanism of Action

• Modulates inflammation: Reduces the production of key inflammatory cytokines: IL-13,TNF-α, IL-6

• Stimulates the skin's natural defense: Increases the production of beta-defensin 3, an endogenous antimicrobial

- Counteracts oxidative stress: high antioxidant action (up to 97%)
