The Power of the Gut-Skin Axis

While it is well known that a healthy and balanced diet can affect one’s outward appearance, the gut-skin axis is a relatively new concept. Some of our most commonly-consumed foods can impact the way our skin smells or feels. For example, when one eats oily foods, cruciferous vegetables, or carotenoid-rich vegetables like carrots and tomatoes, our skin may react differently to each. Not surprisingly, dietary ingredients can have an influence on the gut, and therefore support the quality and appearance of skin.

The gut-skin axis is the system by which the effects of gut barrier homeostasis, immune defense, and gut microbiota are translated to the skin.

Gut-friendly Ingredients

Select probiotics, botanicals, and functional ingredients can play a role in boosting skin immunity as well as skin radiance.

Immune System

Intestinal diseases (celiac, IBD, allergies) and an unbalanced gut (dysbiosis) may cause skin problems due to gut barrier defects and immune system disturbance.

Microbiota Balance

Probiotics and prebiotics can balance the gut microbiota and its metabolism, which can improve gut barrier and immune function, benefiting the skin.

The Beauty Market

This rapidly-emerging market segment is creating an unprecedented surge in demand for ingestible products that start with the microbiome.

Today’s beauty innovations tackle the elements that impact the integrity of our skin the most: stress, fatigue, UV radiation and sleep deprivation.
