Prebiotic ingredients are an exciting group that are the centre of attention around the world. They play an important role in restoring the balance of the skin's microbiome, which is what makes them so interesting for skin therapists
To understand pre-biotics, it's necessary to have some background knowledge about what's going on at the skin surface: The invisible community of microorganisms, including bacteria, found on the skin surface is collectively known as the skin microbiome. Every skin therapist knows that this needs to be balanced for healthy skin. But it goes even further: new research has revealed that it's important to always look at both the skin barrier and the microbiome together. Changes or imbalances in the microbiome can be linked to a disruption of the skin's natural barrier. When this barrier is damaged and cannot function properly, visible signs of sensitivity can be the result.
Returning to pre-biotics, these act as nutrients for bacteria that help create a healthy environment for the skin microbiome.
They feed the 'good' bacteria, which grow in numbers, leaving no room for the 'bad', pathogenic bacteria. Therefore, pre-biotics are the basis for a stable microbiome.
REMEDY from Comfort Zone harnesses the power of natural pre-biotics: it promotes skin health and provides extra defence. It's a professional solution that soothes and strengthens sensitive, reactive and reddened skin.
REMEDY provides the skin with:
✔ A natural microbiotic defence with prebiotics derived from an enzymatic synthesis of different sugar species
✔ An immediate calming effect, from Mexican hyssop
✔ A reduction of redness and anti-inflammation, from Marvel of Peru
✔ An improved skin barrier and protection, from Marula Oil
In a test panel of 40 panellists - male and female, aged 18 to 60 - REMEDY was shown to have a protective and soothing effect.
The REMEDY line is a complete range for sensitive skin, with a sales range and a professional treatment offer. REMEDY has extremely good results with Scandinavian sensitive skin and even with rosacea. Comfort Zone has chosen to formulate REMEDY without sulphates, added perfumes or parabens.
