FAQs
What is microbiome skincare?
Our skin has its own microbiome which is home to billions of bacteria, fungi and viruses.
These help to keep our skin healthy, maintain the correct pH levels and help protect skin.
Microbiome skincare helps the skin through gentle products to improve the health of your skin.
It uses prebiotics which help microorganisms to grow, probiotics, which are the microorganisms themselves and postbiotics, which are the chemical by-products of the microorganisms and bacteria.
What makes skincare certified vegan?
You might occasionally see a brand making much of the fact that their products are certified vegan. But what does this mean in reality?
Being certified vegan means that the product does not contain any of the following:
- meat
- fish
- fowl
- animal by-products
- eggs or egg products
- honey or honeybee products
- insects or products from insects such as silk or dyes
- sugar filtered with bone char or processed with animal products or by-products
They also cannot involve any animal testing of ingredients or the finished products, and must not use animal-derived GMOs or genes.
