Kombucha Microbiome Balancing Essence

$56.00

Why I Love It

I think of this as less of a traditional toner and more as a beautiful first layer of hydration after cleansing.

Kombucha Microbiome Balancing Essence is a lightweight, almost watery skin conditioner that you simply press into the skin. It disappears quickly, but leaves behind that little extra layer of hydration that can make such a difference—especially when your skin is dry, sensitive or just feeling a little out of balance.

What makes this essence particularly interesting is its blend of pre-, pro- and postbiotic ingredients designed to support your skin's natural microbiome and moisture barrier. Kombucha ferment is paired with inulin and Lactococcus ferment lysate, while white tea, jasmine, green tea and other botanical ingredients help soothe, condition and provide antioxidant support.

I love this as a simple way to add hydration without adding another heavy product to your routine.

Who is it for?
This can be used by all skin types, including sensitive skin, but I especially like it for dry or dehydrated skin, sensitive skin and acne-prone skin that also needs hydration. It's a great option when you're trying to support the skin rather than throwing another aggressive active at it.

How to use:
Splash a small amount into the palms of your hands after cleansing and gently press it into your face and neck. Leave it on and follow with your serums and the rest of your skincare routine.

Key ingredients:

Prebiotic (Inulin): a substrate (fuel) that is utilized by host microorganisms to support a balanced skin microbiome

Jasmine Flower: soothes and relieves redness caused by dry skin to bring out a soft, even skin tone

White Tea: rich in antioxidants to help maintain healthy-looking skin by combating the look of dullness

Probiotic (Lactococcus Ferment Lysate — does not contain live cultures): supports and balances the skin microbiota and replenishes the skin's moisture barrier to repair dry skin and maintain healthy-looking skin

Kombucha Ferment (Postbiotic): derived from fermenting black tea, this superfood is rich in postbiotics and nourishes the skin microbiota, enhancing the look of skin smoothness, luminosity and clarity
