FAQ:
SIV can help with various types of inflammatory skin conditions. The serum works on the skin’s immune system, which is one of the main things the skin microbiome controls. When we have inflammatory conditions, it is a reaction of the skin’s immune system. which is triggered by a dysbiotic skin microbiome.
What does the SIV Biome Balancing Serum Do?
SIV is a quorum-sensing serum that uses bacillus spores to balance the skin microbiome. Many of the inflammatory conditions we deal with on the skin can be tied to a dysbiotic skin microbiome. The spores are a resilient form of bacteria that lie dormant in the formula- once applied to the skin, the natural heat, water, and oil provide the proper nutrients to revive them and assess what the skin needs. They target overgrown strains on the skin and bring them down to a healthy level while also facilitating the growth of other beneficial strains- effectively balancing the skin microbiome
Quorum sensing is the process of communication between two bacterial cells. It mainly happens through biofilms and max load capacity, which is based on weight/volume. This is the technology SIV’s serum uses in order to read, adapt to, and adjust each person’s unique skin biome
Bacillus is naturally found in nature in the soil and in the ocean. Your skin knows and recognizes this bacteria.
The rest of the ingredients are skin- identical fatty acids
INGREDIENTS
Lightweight & stabilizing formula containing physiologically identical ingredients that your skin recognizes.
Squalane: Biomimetic oil, molecule derived from non-GMO sugarcane that mimics squalene, beneficial in promoting skin hydration
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride: a mixture of caprylic and capric fatty acids derived from coconut oil; help replenish skin’s surface and help it to resist moisture loss
Glyceryl Caprylate: a natural, plant-based, emollient derived from glycerin and plant fatty acids; restores the oils of the skin, regulates the skin moisture and acts as a humidifier to the skin.
Bacillus: A proprietary blend of Bacillus spores activate a healthy skin foundation and visibly improves skin. Positively influencing your unique skin biome and establishing balance. Bacillus spores lay dormant in the formula and are designed to activate from the natural heat, oils, and water from the skin. This allows the spores to change and improve the skin microbiome by targeting overgrown bacteria, while facilitating the growth of other essential species- effectively balancing the skin microbiome.
