The gut and skin are intrinsically connected, creating a symbiotic pathway called the gut/skin axis.
Fundamental nutrients, vitamins, minerals and fatty acids, or lack of, truly defines your skin's health and vitality.
As the largest organ in the body, the skin is also the body’s last line of defence in detoxification, meaning if your gut and digestive system cannot eliminate bacterial overgrowth and other toxins from the system, it will default and remove the waste through your skin, causing acne, cysts, redness and inflammation.
Once the skin becomes imbalanced and malnourished, whether through drying and stripping ingredients, improper detoxification or gut imbalances, the skin's protective barrier called the Stratum Corneum becomes broken and no longer able to defend against bacteria and environmental damage.
Similar to the stratum corneum is the skin's Acid Mantle, a very fine, slightly acidic film on the skin's surface acting as a barrier to bacteria, viruses and other potential contaminants. The acid mantle is created when sebum from the sebaceous glands is activated by sweat, combining to form the acid mantle. Harsh cleansing and drying ingredients strip the skin of sebum, causing the acid mantle to malfunction, leading again to acne, redness and inflammatory skin conditions.
Repairing and supporting the skin starts from the inside out, carefully maintaining a healthy gut and providing rich nutrients, minerals, amino acids and healing properties to the skin's surface.
Each formulation in our skin care range is designed to support and repair the health of your skin barrier and acid mantle while also stimulating collagen and elastin for repair and flooding skin with nourishing vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids.
Beauty Renewal for the broad probiotic benefits, Miracle Collagen to heal and repair the skin, and our topical range to protect the Acid Mantle.
