Prebiotics, like chicory root extracts, enhance beneficial microorganisms while inhibiting harmful ones, thus supporting skin and vaginal health.

Skin microflora consists of beneficial bacteria and fungi that protect against harmful organisms, adapting to skin conditions for survival. Disruptions from harsh chemicals, medications, or aging can diminish this flora, leading to infections and irritation. Prebiotics can strengthen beneficial microorganisms, helping maintain skin health, prevent inflammation, and restore barriers.
