How to nourish your skin’s microbiome.

Let’s talk about something that doesn’t get nearly enough attention in skincare—the microbiome. If you’ve ever had a sudden breakout, mysterious redness, or just felt like your skin was out of sorts, chances are your microbiome needed a little love. And that’s exactly where prebiotic inulin comes in.

What is your skin’s microbiome?

Your skin is home to a bustling community of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms (don’t worry—they’re mostly friendly!). This microbiome acts as a natural defence system, helping to keep irritants out, moisture in, and inflammation at bay. But when it’s out of balance? That’s when sensitivity, dryness, and breakouts tend to show up uninvited.

Meet prebiotic inulin: your microbiome’s best friend

Prebiotics are like food for the good bacteria on your skin, helping them thrive and keep everything in balance. Inulin is a standout prebiotic that does exactly that—it feeds your skin’s beneficial microbes so they can do their job properly, creating a calmer, healthier complexion.

Where does inulin come from?

Inulin is a natural fibre found in plants like chicory root, Jerusalem artichoke, and even bananas. It’s known for its gut-loving benefits when eaten, but it works wonders topically too. In our Pellimont Calm & Clarify Face Mask, inulin (100% from chicory root) helps support your skin’s microbiome, making it more resilient and less prone to irritation and breakouts.
