Breaking it Down with Biofermentation
It is innovative processes like biofermentation that are paving the path in this industry due to the ability to avoid the need for chemical synthesis or organic extraction and relying on “biological factories” instead. In some cases, biofermentation methods can be superior for concentrating desired compounds instead of using lab-created ingredients and chemicals to formulate the cosmetics we use on our skin, scalp and hair.

Gut Flora Health - The Importance of
Pre and Probiotics
Your gut flora is made up of a complex environment of microorganisms including many types of yeasts, viruses, and most importantly bacteria. Everyone has both good and bad bacteria in their gut and correcting the balance of the two is an important step in achieving overall health of our bodies as a whole.
Pre-biotics are non-digestible fibre that feed the probiotics in our gut. Since these compounds can not be fully broken down by enzymes, they are able to pass through the small intestine where they ferment and are able to "fuel" and promote the growth of the good bacteria in our gut.
Probiotics which are more commonly known than prebiotics, are live bacteria and micro-organisms that make up our gut flora. Probiotics are the beneficial bacteria that are needed to promote a healthy digestive system leading to a healthy gut-skin microbiome.
