- Good for oily skin (too dry skin, see serum for acne-prone skin)
- Inhibits redness and irritation

Along with the mild, prebiotic cleanser that contains nutrition that feeds the probiotic bacteria, you get a good starting point for healthier skin and a balanced microbiome.

Ingredients

Please refer to individual product pages for list of ingredients.

  • Shake before use

    The fine crystals in the oil contain the probiotics. They will dissolve upon contact with your skin to release the good bacteria.

    To ensure the probiotics are dispersed throughout the oil, shake the bottle before drawing oil into the pipette.

  • Cleanse & Moisturize

    Cleanser: Wet the skin with lukewarm water and massage a few drops of the cleanser onto the skin. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

    The cleanser is oil-based and free from sulphates which is why it doesn’t foam. It will remove dirt and most make-up. Avoid contact with eyes. Suitable for the face and body (but not the intimate area).

    Oil: Apply several drops of the oil to clean skin, and gently spread the product evenly, in a thin layer. The oil can be used both on the face and body.

  • Avoid skincare with preservatives

    Let probiotic products absorb into the skin for 30 minutes before applying other products like sunscreen or make-up.

    All water-based products contain preservatives designed to kill bacteria—also the good ones. By giving the bacteria 30 min, they have a chance to establish themselves on the skin.

  • Store probiotics cool until first use

    When unopened, keep the probiotic oil in the fridge (2-8 °C) to maximize shelf-life.

    Once opened, store the product at room temperature. The product will maintain maximum efficacy for the first three months after opening.

Real probiotics are a science

There's a bunch of rumors, recommendations and undocumented experiences within probiotics. We try to elevate the discussion on the area and separate fake from fact, probiotic from none-probiotic

  • Not necessarily.

    You may have eread about CFU (colony formin units), which is the indicator of how many active bacteria a product contains. A larger number is not necessarily better. The best dosis is the one which is tested and has proven health benefits.

  • Great questions.

    'Probiotic' is often misinterpreted or misused in products that don’t fulfill the definition. Probiotics is still a fairly new area of research and consumer products (in some categories at least), which is why it is sometimes use as a marketing-gimmick. Unfortunately this dilutes the actual science behind real probiotics. There is however stricter regulation on the way, which will hopefully make it easier for you as a consumer to separate probiotics from marketing.

  • Poorly.

    People in the industrial world loses microbial diversity in the gut and on the skin due to Western Lifestyle; We live too clean, use antibiotics and eat diet with high fat and refined sugars but low in fiber. The decrease of microbial diversity directly correlates with a rise in a range of skin issues as well as metabolic and immune diseases like allergy, inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D), and multiple sclerosis (MS).
