The Skin’s Intelligent
Defence System
Your skin is a self-regulating organ, designed to protect and adapt. At its core are two essential components: the skin barrier and the microbiome.
What Is the Skin Barrier?
The outermost layer of the epidermis. It acts as a protective wall that locks in moisture and nutrients, while shielding against pathogens, pollutants, and irritants.
What Is the Skin Microbiome?
An ecosystem of beneficial microorganisms that help reinforce the barrier, regulate immune responses, and defend against harmful microbes.
How Do They Work Together?
The microbiome fuels barrier health, while a strong barrier creates the ideal environment for a balanced microbiome. Together they keep skin hydrated, resilient, and protected.
