A microbial biodiversity extract for advanced skin barrier support
Re‑Connecting Nature™ is a microbial extract engineered from upcycled, plant‑based materials to replicate the diverse microbial ecosystem characteristic of Finnish forest environments. Produced through a controlled composting and extraction process, the material delivers a complex consortium of non‑viable microbial components that interact with the skin’s immune and barrier functions. The extract also reduces visible redness and irritation through modulation of inflammatory pathways while promoting increased collagen synthesis linked to age‑resilient skin. The new Re‑Connecting Nature™ Liquid format offers a stable, neutral‑colored ingredient suitable for streamlined incorporation across skincare, body care, and haircare formulations, including sensitive‑skin applications.
