New beauty brand Symbiome has launched and it’s caught the attention of natural skincare lovers everywhere.
Their inaugural collection is made up of seven products that are clean, organic, traceable, and made with less than ten ingredients. In fact, Symbiome’s entire range contains only 18 ingredients across the board, so you can bet they chose some of the best ingredients to work with.
In fact, Symbiome refers to its ingredients as “supercharged.” Carefully selected for their naturally occurring vitamins, nutrients, and beneficial compounds contained, ingredients such as coffee arabica seed oil, buriti fruit oil, seje fruit oil, xanana flower and leaf oil are sourced from an organic farm in Brazil that utilizes regenerative farming among other sustainable practices.
The goal of the brand is to create simple, easy-to-understand formulations that have a major impact on your skin. Minimal processing of each ingredient was also integral to Symbiome’s overarching mission of “returning skin to its natural health.”
The other part of Symbiome’s brand mission is rooted in the past. They market themselves as “derived from the past, designed for the future,” and even their name is a nod to this. Symbiome refers to a time in the past when humans lived in symbiosis with the animals, plants, and nature around them; when we were all connected through a mutually beneficial ecosystem or symbiome. From a desire to return to this way of living, Symbiome was born.
The brand says that through science, they were able to study the ancestral microbiome and create a blueprint of the specific nutrients our skin has lost. From there, through technology, they created a line of “BioIntact” skincare products that are full of the essential biomolecules our skin is now missing. The result? A plant-based, nutrient-rich line of skincare products that uses ancestral ingredients to nourish the skin microbiome.
Currently, Symbiome’s lineup comprises four face oils, a daily cleanser, a clarifying cleanser, and a restorative cream. Consumers can shop by product, skin type, or skin concern (acne-prone skin, anti-ageing, dry skin, dark spots & pigmentation, and sensitive & problematic skin are all listed options).
