Integrative solution
As we learn more about health, we realize how important our skin is. It's often forgotten, but it's always there, protecting us from harm we can't see. It’s no exaggeration to call our skin the sentinel of our well-being, our most expansive organ, ever-vigilant, and a key to the overall health puzzle.
Our skin doesn't just reflect our overall health, it plays a major role in shaping it.
Beyond just what we see, each blemish, crease, or subtle change on our skin could signify changes happening within our body. But more importantly, an unhealthy skin condition doesn't stop at the surface. It can influence far more, from our immunity and psychological well-being to our metabolic functions, affecting our entire organism like a chain reaction. Much like a well-tuned engine ensures a smooth ride, maintaining healthy skin is fundamental to our overall health and well-being.
Now, let's delve a layer deeper. We meet an invisible but immensely powerful community - the microbiome, a bustling city of microorganisms that call our skin home. The right balance in this community is a cornerstone of healthy, glowing skin.
But here’s the game-changer: the gut-skin axis. Picture it as an unseen superhighway, a two-way communication line between your gut microbiota and skin. Certain probiotics in your gut don't just contribute to a healthy digestive system, but are also the virtuosos conducting the skin symphony, bringing health through harmony and balance.
Our solution? It's this profound understanding of the skin, its microbiome, and the gut-skin axis. It's about the realization that each is a piece of an intricate puzzle, and true health arises from nurturing each of them together.
As we unlock the potential of this interplay, we are thrilled to introduce you to a groundbreaking approach for improved skin health. Not just a surface-level remedy, but a deeper, comprehensive answer, addressing the root causes and not just the symptoms. We believe in the potential for each person's skin to be not just a shield, but a glowing testament to their overall health.
Our commitment to you is a solution deeply rooted in scientific rigor, a harmonious blend of expertise, empathy, and evolution.
Are you prepared to take the next step in skin care? Let's work together to improve your skin health, and in doing so, enrich your life - one healthy skin cell at a time.
Ingredients
The selection of ingredients for our products is guided by a dual-pronged approach:
Extensive research into skin health and the intricate aging processes that impact the skin, which is the largest and most exposed organ of our body, and, our wealth of experience and continuous innovation in biotechnologies, which has enabled us to craft next-generation ingredients and formulas.
Central to our approach is the recognition of the body's innate capacity to protect and rejuvenate itself. With this in mind, we developed ingredients that boast high biocompatibility, ensuring that the body readily identifies them as its own. This recognition enhances the effectiveness of these ingredients. Concurrently, we delve into the intricate interplay within our body, striving to amplify their synergistic actions across various fronts.
Our product formulas are meticulously designed to foster synergy on multiple levels:
Drawing on our dual expertise, we've developed a solution that addresses skin health from both internal and external perspectives. This synergy is actualized through the combination of a nutraceutical product and a range of topical products, each enhancing and complementing the effects of the other.
The Skin Biotic works from the inside-out, leveraging the gut-skin interactions.
We introduced ingredients that seamlessly integrate with the body's natural chemistry and biology. We have incorporated indispensable vitamins selected due to their pivotal roles in supporting skin cellular metabolism and a selection of probiotics, where we delve into the intricacies of DNA analysis, to uncover the most suitable strains, within the extensive Lactobacillus genus, having the characteristics and capabilities to efficiently provide targeted skin benefits from the inside-out, leveraging the ‘gut-skin’ axis.
Our topical product range has been developed to work in synergy with our supplement, from the outside-in.
Within each formula, ingredients are thoughtfully integrated and precisely dosed to facilitate their interaction, thereby enhancing their overall effectiveness.
Across our range of topical products, we consistently incorporate a selection of potent active ingredients, each with its own unique significance and remarkable efficacy. These carefully developed components serve as a common thread throughout our product line, augmenting their effects while being tailored to the specific purpose of each formula. This thoughtful approach ensures that each ingredient contributes significantly to the product's functionality.
For instance, while water used in cosmetics is typically demineralized and may constitute over 80% of a product, without providing genuine benefits, we've transformed its role through an advanced ultra-filtration process. The active water we use is derived from organic fruits, meticulously chosen to bestow essential advantages such as protection against oxidation, UV rays, pollution, and remarkable anti-inflammatory and protective properties. This innovative use of water amplifies its significance in our formulations.
Another cornerstone ingredient is ectoine, a biotech product derived from an amino acid found in desert environments. Ectoine plays a pivotal role in supporting skin regeneration, fortifying its defenses, and promoting the synthesis of strengthening peptides. Operating as a postbiotic, it effectively balances and safeguards the skin's microbiota from external factors, further underlining its significance in our products.
Hyaluronic acid, renowned for its capacity to retain moisture at a remarkable rate of up to 1000 times its weight in water, is essential for skin hydration. In our formulations, we've incorporated an advanced version of hyaluronic acid that is immediately recognized by the body. Utilizing cutting-edge biotechnologies, we've meticulously engineered a polysaccharide compound featuring variable-sized particles, each designed to intervene at distinct layers of the skin. This intricate approach, coupled with a rigorous fermentation process, enables us to harness hyaluronic acid's multiple molecular weights, each offering specific benefits. The outcome is a hyaluronic acid that not only deeply hydrates but also reinforces the skin barrier, fostering collagen and elastin production—a testament to its exceptional significance in our products.
Lastly, our triglycerides, characterized by their high biocompatibility, serve as vital components in preserving skin health. These triglycerides provide cellular energy, ensuring the effective penetration of active ingredients into the skin's layers. Their role in maintaining the skin's well-being and optimizing ingredient absorption underscores their significance within our formulations.
In summary, the singular significance and efficacy of each of our next-gen ingredient is amplified by synergies at every level, within each formula, between each product and through our circular science grounded approach—from the inside out and the outside in—resulting in our unique integrated solution—The Skin Method—which provides exponential benefits, backed by clinical studies.
In this way, for instance, The Skin Method’s inside-out approach synergistically boosts the benefits of topical solutions providing +67% efficacy in skin elasticity enhancement, +66% in wrinkles and fine lines reduction, or +50% in skin hydration improvement (results from a randomized, placebo-controlled study conducted on 96 healthy male and female subjects, enrolled by a board-certified dermatologist based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. All clinical efficacy and dermatological safety studies were performed by a multi-certified third party specializing in microbiological and chemical-physical testing).
