Benefits
-
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.
-
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.
