1. Pyrus malus (apple) extract

According to new studies, an apple a day sure helps hold the doctor away. This delicious fruit is high in antioxidants, polyphenols, and catechins, as well as immune-boosting Vitamin C and E, which protects against environmental stressors. It helps to control blood sugar levels, is rich in fibre (which is good for the digestive system), and promotes heart health.

Apple extract for skin is rich in alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), the most abundant of which is malic acid—which ensures that, unlike most gentle exfoliants, apple fruit water for skin contains no scrubbing bits or microbeads—these acids break up the proteins that keep dead skin cells together

2. Sculletaria alpina extract

Sculletaria alpina or alpine skullcap flower is a plant extract extracted from the aerial portion of the Scutellaria alpina, a special alpine species. Skullcap flower extract combats several phases of the inflammatory process throughout the skin.

Skullcap flower extract captures free radicals and reduces skin inflammation by acting on GABAb (gamma-butyric acid b) receptors and stimulating beta-endorphin release, thanks to its strong antioxidant properties. The result is a thicker, healthier skin barrier that is less prone to pain and burning.

Benefits include:

  • Softens skin and provides relief from uncomfortable feeling on the skin .
  • Maintains and enhances the quality of healthy-looking skin.
  • Skin’s hydration maintenance
  • Protects and soothes inflamed skin.

3. Probiotic

According to research, using probiotic skin care products can help reduce acne breakouts, dry skin, and eczema. Probiotics have also been shown to aid with skin ageing and even skin cancer in a few small yet promising studies.

With age, the pH of the skin grows, making it drier and allowing more “bad” bacteria to flourish. The skin’s ability to combat free radicals, which are natural byproducts of our bodies’ metabolic processes and cause cell damage, is also harmed by UV exposure.

According to study, some probiotics feed healthy bacteria that help to balance the pH of the skin and protect it from free radical damage. Some bacteria might even help prevent skin cancers and modify some of the ways skin develops to give it a healthier appearance.

4. Micriobiota

The skin, like the gut, has its own environment made up of millions of bacteria, fungi, and viruses known as the skin microbiota. It has been known for a long time about the health benefits of keeping a healthy gut microbiota, but when it comes to skin care, bacteria has traditionally been seen as something to be avoided. In scientific circles, this narrative is starting to change. Now, the skin microbiome is increasingly thought to be the secret to improving skin appearance, rather than only treating the symptoms of skin conditions.

There are four approaches to microbiome beauty:

  • removing bacteria, 
  • prebiotic – feeding “good” bacteria, 
  • probiotic – adding “good” bacteria, 
  • postbiotic –  adding by-products of bacteria.

Dryness, oiliness, and reddening of the skin are all immediately noticeable by the human eye or touch. But what do we know about the unseen population of microorganisms that affect certain conditions on the skin’s surface? For the first time, scientists have established a correlation between changes in the composition of the skin microbiome and changes in physical skin conditions.
