Bacillus subtilus is a spore-based probiotic, which means that it's completely shelf-stable. Studies suggest that B. subtilis can support the health of epithelial, skin-type cells in the intestines and may reduce oxidative stress in keratinocytes, cells found in the hair follicles.

Our bladderwrack is a brown seaweed organically grown and sourced in Australia. We use an extract from the bladderwrack that is rich in fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide with antioxidant properties. Cellular studies suggest that fucoidan may support procollagen protein expression and prevent damage related to UVB light. Fucoidan derived from bladderwrack may also promote smooth, even skin through its anti-elastase and anti-collagenase activity, which halts the break down of enzymes necessary for skin integrity and health. Fucoidan has been researched for its potential to activate hepatocyte growth factor, an important chemical for stimulating hair growth.

Green algae produces high levels of astaxanthin, a highly bioavailable antioxidant similar to beta-carotene. One study of human skin cells has shown that astaxanthin may help lessen hyperpigmentation in response to inflammatory chemicals that can be released by UV exposure. Astaxanthin is also being researched for its potential to help slow or reduce issues like moisture loss, rough skin, and the appearance of aging in skin.

This sprouted quinoa extract comes all the way from Austria and contains biotin and niacin, important B vitamins that may support healthier hair, skin, and nails. Biotin is required for protein synthesis and has been studied for its potential to increase nail strength. Niacin, on the other hand, may support skin health by potentially reducing susceptibility to DNA damage caused by UV light.

Our vegan capsules are made from pullulan, which is a plant-based polysaccharide derived from the Aureobasidium pullulans fungi. Pullulan is biodegradable and made without any other additives or fillers. Compared to animal-based capsules, pullulan resists oxygen very effectively, which means the the powder inside is kept fresher for longer - so you can enjoy all the benefits inside the capsule!
