Backed by research. Built on respect.

Years of research into the skin microbiome has told us that healthy, beautiful skin and hair is linked with its composition. Recent advances in genomic technologies have enabled us to sequence hundreds of different bacterial strains from healthy people. This has allowed us to identify gaps in the microbiome and how these differences in bacterial strains impact individuals. The future of healthy, youthful skin lies in your microbiome.

Microbes live on us, in us and around us. While some of these are annoying and nasty, others such as probiotics, are essential to our life and we couldn’t live without them.

Your skin’s microbiome is an ecosystem comprised of microbes and is incredibly complex, massively varied, dynamic ecosystem. From the moment a newborn’s skin first encounters the world, to the ever-changing needs of infants and children as they grow, this invisible community adapts to age, environment, and lifestyle. It includes trillions of bacteria, yeast, fungi, viruses and other microorganisms residing within the epidermis, dermis, glands and hair follicles.

At Skinara® we’re continuously developing our understanding of them – particularly good bacteria such as probiotics, but also all-important prebiotics and postbiotics.

For example conditions such as dry, inflammatory skin including atopic dermatitis, acne or psoriasis can be the effects of alterations in this microbial balance. Also your skin care regimen can either promote or damage this ecosystem. At Skinara® we test and create our products to ensure they support your skin’s microbiome, for maximum results and zero irritation.

Skinara® strong on results. Not on fragrances™

Allergies are a modern epidemic. With fragrances being the number one cause of skin sensitivity and allergic reactions in skin care. Don’t shop with your nose, it makes no scents.

For instance fragrances, either natural or synthetic, can have up to 200 different chemicals in them that cause irritation well before it’s seen on the skin’s surface. Meanwhile below the surface they can create cracks invisible to the naked eye. These break collagen down worsening dryness, hindering your skin’s ability to recover. ’Essential oils’ included in skin care often contain artificial fragrances not listed on the packaging, that make aromas last longer.

At Skinara® we understand sensitive skin. We go beyond skin soothing to build up the skin’s barrier function. We formulate with the skin’s natural microbiome in mind, avoiding any irritants.

Skincare should work in harmony with your skin’s biology—preserving its integrity and maintaining key components like lipids, ceramides, and fats. These elements support essential barrier functions, cell communication, and a thriving microbiome.

Be mindful of cleansers, certain ingredients can disrupt your skin’s natural balance, leading to microbial imbalance called dysbiosis. This can trigger a chain reaction—weakening antioxidant defenses, reducing UV protection even with sunscreen, and increasing dryness, irritation, and sensitivity.

The right products help maintain this biological balance—supporting resilient, healthy skin.

Your skin is your body’s largest detoxifying organ, so it’s essential to treat it with care—important to everyone but especially for the sensitive skin of infants. Ingredients best to avoid which can cause irritation, dryness, and disrupt natural skin functions: Sulfates (including SLS), Parabens, Mineral Oil, Paraffin Oil, Petrolatum, Parrafinum Liquidum, Synthetic wax, Isoparrafin, Ceteareth, Propylene Glycol, Propylene, Butylene Glycol, PEGs.

Carcinogenic, mutagenic or reprotoxic are categorized as ‘CMR’ substances but are not automatically banned from use. Skinara® avoids CMRs and complies with international biomedical, ethical and legal standards governing dermal and dietary product manufacturing.

Endocrine (hormone) disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have the ability to disrupt the production and actions of hormones. EDCs are also carcinogenic, immunotoxic and hepatotoxic. In addition they produce inflammatory and allergic skin diseases, chloracne, disorders of skin pigmentation, skin cancer and skin aging.

 

Parabens are in many products from toothpaste to skincare to food. The EU has banned 5 parabens and restricts Triclosan in cosmetics. Phenoxytanol has also been banned in certain countries due to its adverse effects on the brain and nervous system.

 

At Skinara® we don’t use conventional preservatives including EDCs. Instead we use effective, natural antimicrobial peptides derived from lactic acid bacteria through fermentation techniques. In addition our preservation is extremely beneficial for your skin as it has potent moisturizing properties.

 

Sodium Lauryl (Leureth) Sulfate or SLS is the most sensitizing cleansing agent that is recognized as an endocrine toxin. It may contain a chemical known to harm your nervous system.

 

Research links oxybenzone to skin irritation, allergic reactions and interferences with hormonal activity. According to the EWG Oxybenzone is in 80 percent of sunscreens. Hawaii is the first place that has banned sunscreens containing oxybenzone and octinoxate which may harm coral reefs. Skinara® Sunscreen does not contain these chemicals.

At Skinara® we formulate excellent quality natural supplements without any additives to alter their appearance or taste, such as colorants or flavours.

Globally we are eating more sugar than at any other time in history. Sugar and sweeteners have incredibly harmful effects on the metabolism and contribute to all sorts of health issues, including cell damage, accelerated skin aging, obesity, diabetes, tooth decay and heart problems. Skinara® dietary products are always sugar and sweetener free.

All Skinara® skin care products, including dietary and topical skin care, are gluten and wheat free.

Skinara® skin care and nutraceuticals are GMO free.
