Benefits
-
Volumising & Thickening
Thin, flat hair often suffers from insufficient fibre density and weak hair strands, which lack the structural strength needed to maintain lift. To improve volume, the hair needs reinforcement at the fibre level to enhance hair density and promote natural lift, resulting in fuller, more voluminous hair.
-
Strengthening & Breakage Reduction
Weak, brittle hair is often the result of structural damage within the hair shaft, due to excessive mechanical stress, environmental aggressors or insufficient hydration. The hair requires targeted intervention to fortify the hair fibres and improve moisture retention. Strengthening the hair structure reduces breakage and promotes healthier, more resilient strands.
-
Restructuring & Firming
The natural decline of collagen and elastin diminishes skin elasticity and firmness, causing sagging and lack of definition. To preserve youthful contours, skin requires support to enhance collagen synthesis, restore elastin fibres and improve dermal resilience. Restoring the skin’s structure helps create a more lifted, toned and sculpted look.
-
Skin Microbiome
When the skin’s microbiome is out of balance, it can lead to increased sensitivity, dryness, and an overall weakened skin barrier. Supporting a healthy microbiome means preserving a naturally diverse and balanced collection of microorganisms (bacteria) that naturally inhabit the surface of the skin to maintain the skin’s natural defences.
-
Moisturising & Soothing
Dry and dehydrated skin often experiences rough texture, tightness and discomfort. To maintain optimal hydration, the skin needs moisture retention and a strengthened barrier to protect against environmental stressors. Ensuring long-lasting hydration and soothing relief helps restore softness, comfort and overall skin health.
-
Antioxidant & Anti-pollution
Exposure to environmental stressors, like UV rays and pollution, accelerates skin damage and leads to premature ageing. The skin needs protection from free radicals and harmful pollutants to preserve its health and prevent damage. Shielding the skin from these factors helps maintain its natural vitality and youthful appearance.
-
Anti-inflammatory & Anti-redness
Irritated or inflamed skin can lead to increased redness, discomfort, and heightened sensitivity, which disrupts the skin’s natural barrier and overall balance. To address this, the skin requires targeted relief from inflammation and a reduction in irritation, promoting homeostasis and restoring a calm, even complexion.
-
Anti-ageing
Intrinsic and extrinsic factors contribute to skin ageing, altering its texture, appearance and overall integrity. Intrinsic ageing is the natural decline in cellular functions, such as reduced collagen synthesis. Extrinsic factors like UV exposure, pollution and oxidative stress accelerate the breakdown of structural proteins, leading to visible signs of ageing, including wrinkles, skin thinning and…

Frequently Asked Questions
aurafirm P is a prebiotic ingredient which protects and maintains a healthy skin microbiome by increasing the biodiversity of the skin microbiota and rebalancing skin pH. It counteracts oxidative damage and boosts skin radiance for a healthy, glowing look. It also provides an instant smoothing effect by improving skin texture. More information on these studies and the product’s efficacy can be found in the aurafirm P Data Pack. Please contact our sales team at [email protected] for more information.
aurafirm P undergoes a fermentation process which enhances the bioavailability of protective molecules such as organic acids, amino acids and Oat Beta-Glucans. These last one are long chain carbohydrates which nourish the bacterial strains on the skin and thus act as a prebiotic on the skin. More information on this can be found in our aurafirm P Data Pack. Please contact our sales team at [email protected] for more information.
