What are prebiotics & postbiotic?

Pre- and postbiotics are nutrients for the skin-friendly organisms, so they can grow stronger. When exposed to pre- and postbiotics, our microbiota will gain the balance and recover, while the harmful organisms are reduced (due to the “competition” from the good ones).

The postbiotics (in this case) are lysates deriving from fermented probiotic bacteria). When infused in skin care, they promote the growth of good the microorganisms and this way help the skin re-balancing.

Inulin


Inulin is extracted from the chicory root. This humectant prebiotic has significantly skin-conditioning properties that helps keep the skin hydrated, soft and smooth.

Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccaride


A complex of extracts deriving from sugar beets, wheat and malt. A powerful prebiotic complex with emollient and water-binding properties. Well-known to support and protect the skin's microbiota from stressors that can lead to itchy skin, redness, irritations and impurities.

Lactobacillus ferment lysate

An innovative active ingredient derived from the fermentation of probiotic bacterias. It’s a lysate (meaning a dead bacterium) with the same properties as a probiotic, but inert: This skin conditioning hero restores, protects, soothes and moisturizes the skin.

A microbiota in balance can:

Strengthen skin’s surface against environmental threats.

Enhance skin’s ability to become (and stay) well hydrated.

Reduce factors that trigger sensitive, irritated and redness of the skin.

Visibly improve signs of dry and dull skin.

Restore the skins pH balance.



The routine with an essence lotion is to ”re-inject” some of the moisture stripped during the cleansing process.

Use it as a pre-treatment or as a classic serum, before moisturizers.
