If you’re noticing breakouts, dry patches, dull skin or redness, your skin microbiome could be to blame. After all, a microbiome that’s out of balance compromises the skin barrier which, in turn, results in a struggling complexion. So, what exactly is the skin microbiome? This invisible layer of billions of living microorganisms is instrumental in protecting your skin barrier and contributing to skin health. Read on to find out how you can take care of this important living community and which products help it thrive.
Kombucha Microbiome Collection: The Key To Luminosity
Compromised skin appears dull, dry, red and reactive. It is often a result of environmental stressors (UV, pollution, climate) and lifestyle factors (sleep, stress, diet). Overcleansing and stripping the skin of its natural oils can also compromise the skin barrier, making your skin susceptible to irritation.
The key to a healthy skin microbiome is maintaining a balance of both good and bad bacteria. So, when it comes to skin’s microbiome, how do we achieve the right balance? A daily regimen containing probiotic skin care products helps restore and maintain the equilibrium between bacteria living on the skin. Additionally, using probiotics topically can help protect the moisture barrier of the skin, helping it stay healthy with balanced hydration levels.
Our Kombucha Microbiome Collection contains four products that are formulated to comfort the skin and support the microbiome’s natural balance. The collection visibly replenishes and supports the moisture barrier with pre, pro* and postbiotics to reveal an even and healthy-looking complexion.
This collection:
Aids the skin’s natural repair processes
Helps the skin to appear more luminous and healthy

Watch our Lead Skin Care Trainer, Natalie Pergar, explain how to use the Kombucha Microbiome Collection and how to balance the skin microbiome.
Key Ingredients In The Kombucha Microbiome Collection
Formulated with kombucha, gentle botanicals and pre, pro* and postbiotics, the Kombucha Microbiome Collection is designed to balance the skin microbiome for a healthy-looking glow. Key ingredients in this collection include:
Pre, Pro* And Postbiotics
Pre, pro* and postbiotics help maintain the skin’s natural balance. Prebiotics are fuel for the good bacteria on your skin’s surface. They give probiotics energy and allow your microbiome to flourish. Probiotics are good bacteria that support the skin’s moisture barrier. Small but mighty, probiotics* work on the skin’s surface to visibly renew your complexion. Postbiotics are metabolites left behind by probiotics that leave skin looking refreshed.
Kombucha
Kombucha ferment is derived from fermenting black tea. There are many kombucha benefits for the skin. This superfood is rich in postbiotics and nourishes the skin microbiota, improving the appearance of skin smoothness, luminosity and radiance.
Ginger Root
Ginger root is an antioxidant that invigorates the appearance of skin.
Jasmine Flower
Jasmine flower is a botanical that nourishes the skin, relieves the look of redness and soothes dryness.
White Tea
Rich in antioxidants, white tea helps maintain healthy-looking skin and combats dullness, encouraging a glow.
Supporting Botanical Extracts
The botanical extracts in thai collection help minimize redness in the skin and are rich in antioxidants to add protection from environmental stressors.
Now that you’re familiar with the key ingredients, here is a breakdown of each product in the collection.
