FAQ - Skincare

What Is A Probiotic For The Skin?

You might have heard of probiotics for your gut but a probiotic for skin refers to the use of beneficial bacteria or microorganisms in skincare products to support the skin's natural barrier, balance its microbiome, and promote overall skin health. Just like probiotics help maintain gut health, they can have similar benefits when applied topically to the skin.

What Can Probiotics Do For Your Skin?

Balance the skin's microbiome: The skin has its own community of bacteria, and a disrupted balance (due to factors like pollution, stress, or harsh products) can lead to skin issues like acne, eczema, or rosacea. Probiotics can help restore a healthy balance of bacteria, preventing these problems.

Strengthen the skin's barrier: Probiotics can improve the skin’s natural defense system, making it more resilient to environmental stressors and better at retaining moisture.

Reduce inflammation: Probiotics can help calm inflammation and redness, which is particularly beneficial for conditions like acne, rosacea, or sensitive skin.

Boost skin repair and regeneration: Some probiotics can promote skin healing and help reduce the visible effects of damage, like signs of aging.

What is Kombucha and How Does It Work In Soap?

Kombucha is a fermented drink made from sweetened tea (caffeine free at MCC) that has been fermented by a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast.

It has antioxidant properties: Kombucha contains antioxidants, which help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals.

Hydrates the skin: The acids and enzymes in kombucha can help to gently exfoliate and cleanse the skin, promoting smoother, more hydrated skin. Its mild acidic nature can help maintain the skin’s natural pH balance.

Kombucha’s fermentation process creates compounds that can help soothe irritated skin, making it beneficial for conditions like acne or eczema by calming inflammation.

It also contains beneficial acids that can aid in detoxifying the skin, helping to remove impurities and excess oil, which can improve skin clarity.

The probiotics in kombucha soap can help support the skin’s microbiome, ensuring a healthy balance of bacteria on the skin’s surface.

Kombucha in soap is often found in natural, organic skincare lines, where it is valued for its rejuvenating and balancing effects. It's particularly good for sensitive or acne-prone skin due to its gentle yet effective properties.

Do Probiotics Work On All Skin Types?

Probiotic skincare can be a great option for all skin types because it helps balance the skin’s microbiome, strengthens the skin barrier, and improves overall skin health. Whether you have oily, dry, combination, sensitive, or acne-prone skin, probiotics offer a range of benefits that can address various concerns.
