Inulin, a prebiotic derived from plants, is a polysaccharide fiber that offers hydration and soothing benefits to the skin. It supports a healthy skin microbiome, improves texture, and helps sensitive skin tolerate preservatives. Its humectant properties bind water, preventing evaporation from the skin's surface. Inulin also plays a role in balancing the skin's helpful bacteria and protecting the skin from harmful substances. It is beneficial for scalp care, reducing irritation and flakiness. Inulin is also used in hair care products to boost smoothness and shine, and hold in important components like fragrance and oils.

Inulin may play a role in healing sensitive, reactive skin to better tolerate conventional cosmetic preservatives. It is also beneficial for scalp care, reducing irritation and flakiness. Inulin is a natural humectant that draws moisture from the environment into the skin, keeping it hydrated. It also acts as a skin-conditioning agent by forming a protective thin film layer on the skin, leaving it smooth and supple. Inulin helps offset factors that lead to redness, dryness, and aging. When applied topically, Inulin helps the probiotics thrive, keeps the skin youthful, and makes the barrier strong. Inulin is a prebiotic that helps to feed the good bacteria on the skin's surface, helping to protect it from external aggressors and keep your skin healthy. Inulin is also used in hair care products to boost smoothness and shine, and hold in important components like fragrance and oils. Inulin is a prebiotic that is naturally found in Chicory Root. It is a food source for "good" bacteria, which helps them to thrive on the skin's microbiome. Inulin also helps to bind water to the skin to keep it healthy and soft. We choose to use this ingredient in many of our skin-balancing beauty products because we consider Inulin to have benefits for skin that is imbalanced by barrier damage or an excess of bad bacteria, such as acne. Did you know? All skin types have a microbiome in their epidermis (the upper layer of skin). This layer hosts a mix of good, bad and neutral microorganisms. When the skin microbiome is balanced, it provides protection in return for nourishment. However, when it is damaged, bad bacteria can prosper, causing the good bacteria to lose space and food. This imbalance makes the microbiome less effective at providing skin barrier protection, leaving the skin vulnerable to water loss and the damaging effects of bacteria, such as acne. The main benefits of Inulin for the skin are: Promotes a healthy, balanced microbiome Supports the skin barrier for improved skin hydration Helps to prevent spots and inflammation Consistently using Inulin prebiotic skin care products helps to keep the skin microbiome in balance and reinforces an effective, protective skin barrier. Our scent-free facial sun creams use Inulin alongside effective sun filters to make it easy to protect skin from sun damage and microbiome imbalance. A great choice for summer skin defence is our high-protection Scent Free Facial Sun Cream SPF30, which protects against 97% of skin-burning sun rays. For everyday sun protection, you may prefer our Scent Free Facial SPF15 Sun Cream, which is gentle on sensitive skin and protects against 93% of skin-burning UVB sun rays. We all know how important it is to protect your skin during the day, but did you know that skin carries on repairing itself when you're asleep? Charlotte Vøhtz says: "Skin restores itself whilst we rest but it can benefit from a little help.
