Postbiotics – an active ingredient with numerous effects

Postbiotics are bacteria consisting of probiotic cells and all the metabolites they have produced throughout their lifecycle. This means that postbiotics include the good cells and all the beneficial substances they have created during their lives. Even though postbiotics are dead bacteria, they can still contribute many good things to your skin.

Postbiotics play a crucial role in promoting a healthy microbiome; they support and optimize your skin's natural microbiome, ensuring an abundance of healthy lactic acid bacteria on your skin, resulting in a healthy and well-maintained appearance. Additionally, postbiotics help encapsulate vital moisture and reinforce your skin's protective barrier against influences from environmental stressors such as the sun, cold, etc.

Maximizing effects with active ingredients
Postbiotics take up space on your skin, leaving less room for potentially harmful bacteria. The essential elements of postbiotics promote important vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents, and much more on your skin. This means that many of the substances you would typically buy various products to benefit from are already present on your skin – and with postbiotics in SKNS, they flourish, resulting in nurtured, protected, and balanced skin.
