The Biome Balance Serum by SIV is the first bioactivated, spore-based skincare serum engineered to support your unique skin biome.

The Skin Microbiome

Our bodies have about 1.8 square metres of skin, making it one of our largest organs. This skin hosts over 1.5 trillion resident bacteria and up to 1,000 different species. The most common genera include Propionibacterium, Corynebacteria and Staphylococci. Additionally, the skin is home to both transient and resident microbes. Transient microbes may remain for hours to days, while resident microbes are more permanent. However, transient microbes can influence the balance of resident microbes.

• Ecology
• Age
• Gender
• Genetics
• Environment (pollutants, ecosystem, etc.)

• Hormones
• Immune function
• Lifestyle
• Gut health

 

Bacillus spores: A resilient form of bacteria that allows our products to positively interact and adapt to your skin biome.	Quorum Sensing 101 Quorum sensing allows bacteria, such as Bacillus spores, to read microbial signatures and in response produce virulence factors, form biofilms and interact with gene expression to find balance.

Rebalancing the skin’s microbiome provides a healthy canvas, allowing other products and treatments to work better.
