FIVE STARS FOR TOPICAL PROBIOTICS

An abundance of microorganisms live on our skin and within. It’s a dynamic environment; trillions of teeny communities of bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses all residing in harmony to form the closely linked skin and gut microbiome.

There are thousands of different species to be precise and in a healthy person they’re coexisting peacefully to ensure smooth daily operations of our bodies; warding off infection, boosting immunity, balancing pH levels and offering protection from pathogens.

Over the past decade, we’ve seen the rise of oral and topical probiotics (live microorganisms) for skin and gut health. This is nothing new, it was first identified in the early 1900s when eating probiotics in the form of fermented foods was thought to promote health and longevity – and now, it’s back on the forefront and for good reason.

Scientific research has shown that topical probiotics have the same positive benefits as oral probiotics in promoting bacterial balance to treat skin conditions such as premature ageing, acne, dermatitis and wound healing.

ENTER KOMBUCHA

Kombucha is a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast, full of antioxidants and probiotics. When we ingest probiotics from kombucha and other fermented foods, or in supplements, they add to the diverse array of microflora that we need for a healthy intestinal barrier to keep our digestion and immune system happy.

Scientific research on kombucha properties has shown that it exhibits not only antioxidants but antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic properties too. It's a rich source of various vitamins, natural antioxidants, minerals, amino acids and many other compounds with a broad spectrum of biological activity.

On that note, let us introduce you to Dewtown Kombucha Serum, a supercharged serum packed full of skincare heavyweights such as probiotics, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid.
