Sensitivity is rarely a skin type - it's a compromised barrier and disrupted microbiome. Lactobacillus and Lactococcus Ferment Lysates restore microbial balance, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate provides natural antimicrobial protection, and Ectoin and Sodium Hyaluronate calm the immune response and restore moisture to a depleted barrier. Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide selectively nourishes beneficial bacteria while Lactic Acid maintains the optimal skin pH they need to thrive. As the barrier strengthens, the skin begins to retain moisture on its own.
Breakouts are a symptom of microbial imbalance and a weakened barrier, not simply blocked pores. Lactobacillus Ferment and Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide rebalance the microbiome by restoring and nourishing beneficial bacteria, while Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate provides natural antimicrobial protection. Rubus Idaeus and Vaccinium Macrocarpon Seed Oils restore the linoleic acid levels that acne-prone skin is typically deficient in, as low linoleic acid contributes to blocked follicles and congestion.
Eczema is rooted in barrier dysfunction and microbiome disruption, creating a cycle of inflammation, dryness and reactivity. Lactobacillus and Lactococcus Ferment Lysates restore microbial diversity, Inulin feeds and sustains beneficial bacteria long-term, and lightweight lipids replenishes the barrier without irritating compromised skin. Avena Sativa Kernel Extract provides immediate calming relief while the barrier rebuilds. As barrier function is restored, the skin holds moisture naturally, reducing vulnerability to flare-ups.
Rosacea is increasingly linked to barrier weakness and microbial imbalance, creating a cycle of redness and sensitivity that conventional skincare rarely resolves. Lactococcus Ferment Lysate reduces inflammatory signalling, Inulin and Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate restore and protect microbial balance, and Tocopherol protects barrier lipids from oxidative damage. Avena Sativa Kernel Extract provides immediate calming relief while Ectoin stabilises cell membranes against environmental stress.

Before first use, prime the airless pump by pressing down several times until the formula begins to dispense smoothly. Apply 2 pumps to clean, dry skin. Using gentle pressing motions, work the serum into face, neck and décolletage until fully absorbed. Do not rub — pressing supports absorption without disturbing the skin surface microbiome.

For a skin reset or barrier revival, use morning and evening. For ongoing maintenance, once daily is sufficient.

Each pump dispenses approximately 0.15ml. We recommend 2 pumps per application.

  • Twice daily (barrier revival): approximately 7 weeks per bottle
  • Once daily (maintenance): approximately 14 weeks per bottle

The airless pump mechanism ensures every last drop is dispensed, so no formula left behind.

Using Throda with Other Products

For best results
Throda works alone.

Throda works with specific bacterial strains to rebalance and strengthen your skin's microbiome. Strong actives such as retinoids, high concentration acids and vitamin C, can strip these beneficial microbes, reducing the serum's effectiveness. It’s important to protect your results.

How to use Throda alongside your existing actives

Option A
Alternate days
Use Throda on days when you're not applying other actives. Your skin still receives the benefits of both, without them interfering with each other.
Option B
Different times of day
Use Throda in the morning as your skin health foundation. Use other actives in your evening routine only.
Option C
Throda standalone
Once Throda has strengthened your barrier and microbiome, the need for additional actives reduces naturally. One product. Complete care.
Packaging Innovation

Airless
Pump Technology

A formula is only as good as its delivery. Throda is packaged in a precision airless pump system, housed in premium Italian glass. It is designed to protect the potency of every dose, from first use to the last.
One
Zero Air Exposure
The vacuum-sealed chamber prevents any contact between the formula and the atmosphere, eliminating oxidation - the primary cause of active ingredient degradation.
Two
Consistent Dose Delivery
Each pump delivers a precise, measured dose, ensuring the concentration of actives reaching your skin is identical every single time.
Three
No Contamination
The sealed system prevents bacterial contamination from the environment. This is particularly important to ensure our advanced biotech bacterial strains are not compromised.
Four
Fully Recyclable
The bottle is fully recyclable, supporting our commitment to responsible manufacturing, without affecting performance.
Formulated With Intention

Key
Ingredients.

A plant-derived prebiotic fibre that increases microbial diversity and reinforces the skin barrier. Supports long-term skin resilience by creating the conditions in which beneficial microbes thrive.
A targeted prebiotic that selectively feeds beneficial bacteria while starving opportunistic strains. Helps maintain the microbial balance that underpins healthy barrier function.
A dual-action ingredient that feeds beneficial microbes while delivering potent anti-inflammatory relief. Particularly effective for reactive and sensitised skin, reducing redness and discomfort at the surface.
A probiotic lysate that stimulates skin cell renewal and targets the visible signs of ageing. Clinical studies show measurable reduction in fine line depth and improved surface texture with continued use.
Supports a diverse and resilient skin microbiome. Strengthens the skin's first line of defence by reinforcing the natural bacterial community that protects against environmental aggressors.
A renewal-boosting postbiotic that optimises cellular turnover to reduce fine lines and refine skin texture, while simultaneously maintaining barrier function. Clinically proven to support a measurable reduction in wrinkle depth.
A naturally fermented postbiotic filtrate with broad antimicrobial activity. Protects the skin's microbial environment without disrupting the native microbiome, offering a gentler alternative to synthetic preservatives.
A natural extremolyte produced by bacteria in extreme environments. Forms a protective hydration shell around skin cells, shielding against UV, pollution, heat, and other environmental stressors.
Produced via bacterial fermentation, this postbiotic-derived humectant draws moisture deep into the dermis. Delivers visible plumping and continuous hydration while supporting the microbiome environment.
A fermentation-derived AHA that gently resurfaces skin, dissolving dead cell bonds without disruption to the barrier. Simultaneously humectant, drawing moisture in as it refines texture.
A high-performance humectant that draws atmospheric moisture to the skin and seals it in. Works continuously to prevent transepidermal water loss and maintain suppleness throughout the day.
A nutrient-rich botanical oil that replenishes and soothes, delivering lightweight hydration while preserving collagen integrity. Rich in Omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids, non-comedogenic and rapidly absorbed.
A rare botanical oil with a near-perfect Omega 3, 6 and 9 ratio, one of the only natural oils to achieve this balance. Replenishes the lipid barrier, strengthens skin resilience and restores elasticity, making it particularly effective for barrier-compromised skin.
