Sponsored story. South African bio-clinical, probiotic skincare brand Esse presents its microbiome-friendly range of professional products and facial treatments.
Pioneering probiotic skincare, Esse takes a science-based approach to skin wellness, providing advanced formulations capable of in-salon or in-spa microbiome intervention.
Most people associate probiotics (beneficial microbes) with maintaining a healthy gut. Leading scientists have now discovered that optimal skin condition also relies on the contributions of healthy microbial populations. Without microbes, the skin can’t perform its basic functions and the rate of skin ageing increases sharply.
Traditional skincare and modern lifestyles have disrupted the skin’s natural microbiome, negatively impacting skin health. This is illustrated by the rise in incidence of modern skin concerns such as pigmentation, acne, rosacea and dehydration. Each Esse treatment uses tailored probiotic and organic ingredients to hydrate, soothe and renew the skin, shifting the microbiome to a new normal to reduce inflammation and slow the ageing process.
Esse products create an environment on the skin that favours the growth of beneficial microbes. Prebiotics are used to selectively feed good microbes and two of the best-selling serums contain live probiotic species to make functional changes to the skin’s microbiome. Testing in Germany has shown that the Esse Probiotic Serum improves skin firmness by an average of 16% in 28 days, with 100% of the test subjects showing an improvement in skin condition. Esse is the only brand in South Africa to offer high-tech probiotic skincare and facial treatments, encouraging the industry to shift their conventional view of the skin. Esse sees the skin as an ecology of human and microbial cells, and incorporates this view into the formulation and production of all its products. Esse practices certified ethical standards and are organic, vegan, cruelty-free, and plastic- and carbon neutral. Esse is about more than just clean beauty or a trend; it’s a lifestyle. Esse partners with first class salons and spas worldwide who are seeking to deliver the ultimate in skin health and wellbeing to their guests.
