A healthy or ‘balanced’ skin microbiome is like a diverse wildflower garden—the more strains which coexist, the healthier the skin.Our microbes are responsible for protecting our skin from pathogens, controlling skin immunity, nutrient absorption and supporting our skin barrier, it is I suppose like the control centre of the skin. When it’s healthy and functioning at its best capacity, it acts like a biodynamic active membrane, constantly deciding what is allowed to enter the skin and what is kept out. A healthy barrier traps moisture in, and keeps irritants and potential pathogens out. In other words, a healthy barrier protects against both inflammation and infection. As someone that is plagued by inflamation and severely atopics skin I try to utilise products that help protect and respect the skin barrier. Opting for gentle products with clean, simplified ingredient lists can not only help your skin stay healthy , it gives a great glow. If you have overdone the actives i might have just found the serum for you!
A daily topical supplement for your skin, Sásta Microbiome Booster Serum is formulated to act with your skin microbiota by using a combination of microbiome – friendly ingredients. It helps to improve the skin’s first line of defense, which in turn will decrease the level of inflammation the skin experiences daily from the outside world.
Who is it for?
All skin types, especially those experiencing the following:
- Irregular Pigmentation
- Inflammation
- Sensitivity
- Skin Dehydration
- Premature Ageing
What does it do?
The lightweight, easily absorbed formulation includes a blend of prebiotic and postbiotic ingredients to optimise skin health by:
- Protecting the skin through strengthening our skin’s defensive barrier
- Restoring the skin by supporting the skin’s natural pH
- Maintaining the skin by defending against attack by external agents
How does it work?
Ectoin, the “Protect” ingredient, is extracted from strains of robust bacteria which live in extremely stressful environments. It belongs to a family of ‘chaperone’ molecules whose principal function on the skin and in the body is as a natural cell protector.
Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate, the “Restore” ingredient, is an extract which has been shown in trials to promote oxygen uptake and collagen production. It has anti-irritant properties causing a reduction in redness and inflammation on the skin.
Cottonbloom extract, the “Maintain” is a bio-functional complex composed of oligosaccharides – natural sugars occurring naturally in an array of natural sources – which help with the maintenance of skin hydration and nutrition. They are ideal prebiotics, which provide nutrients for skin bacteria. The extract claims a range of health benefits, including a stronger immune system, and overall improved skin health.
