Prebiotic, probiotic and postbiotic skin care

As we know, tastes differ, but there’s one thing we can agree on: we all want beautiful skin. We want it to be supple, smooth and radiant. But how can we achieve that? Naturally with the right combination of diet and skin care.

The term “probiotics” has been on everybody’s lips for some time now. Previously, it had mainly be used in connection with intestinal health: yoghurts with special bacteria cultures are said to be particularly healthy. They strengthen the microbiome. The microbiome is defined as all microorganisms that live in and on the body. A balanced, happy microbiome has a positive impact on our overall physical well-being. And on our skin as well. It is only in recent years that more attention has been paid to the importance of the microbiome for the skin. Because stronger, natural skin flora with maximum diversity is key to healthy, beautiful skin.

These 6 factors have a negative impact – including on our skin’s microbiome:

1 – Unbalanced diet

2 – UV rays

3 – Air pollution

4 – Stress/ Sleep problems

5 – Skin ageing

6 – The wrong skin care

The microbiome is as distinctive as a fingerprint. No two people in the world have the same microbiome. It is created at birth, and changes as we age. We have no influence on this genetic preconditioning. But we can give our microbiome a helping hand with a balanced lifestyle. Because bacteria don’t like stress and, just like us, can happily do without it.

What are prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics?

Substances that serve as nutrition for useful bacteria are known as prebiotics. They strengthen the “good” bacteria. Probiotics are live microorganisms which are said to have a positive influence on the human skin. Postbiotics are defined as metabolic products of bacteria that are produced through fermentation. They no longer contain any live bacteria.

Why is RINGANA using prebiotics and postbiotics in its washing care products?

We use the RINGANA Natural Biotic Complex 7 (NBC7) in our washing care range, combining seven prebiotic and postbiotic substances that help to ensure the naturally healthy balance of the microbiome. Prebiotics reduce the spread of pathogenic germs on the skin which can lead to skin impurities. They promote the growth of groups of bacteria that are useful to us. Postbiotics contribute to a balanced, soothed skin. Our powerful NBC7 supports the skin’s barrier function with innovative plant stem cells, ferments and sugars, it hydrates the skin, and it reduces the effects of harmful environment influences.

You want details? These are the 7 selected substances with which NBC7 protects our skin:

Betaine:
obtained from sugar beet

Saccharide isomerate:
a sugar complex from plant-derived glucose

Hyaluronic acid:
deeply moisturises the skin

Morinda citrifolia callus culture lysate:
plant stem cells from the noni fruit

Lactobacillus ferment and Lactobacillus ferment lysate:
obtained from lactic acid bacteria

Inulin:
a sugar compound from chicory root

Our NBC7 is used in FRESH hair treatment, FRESH soap liquid, FRESH stay fresh, FRESH shampoo and FRESH body wash.
