Natural occurring vitamins, minerals and polyphenols in Kombucha promote may healthy skin, regulate oil gland secretion, and minimize clogged pores. Vitamins B & C found in Kombucha act as natural antioxidants on your skin which help to reduce free radicals produced by daily exposure to the elements. We ferment our Kombucha using *green and *rooibos teas (*organic) for their high antioxidant and health promoting properties. Green tea (Camelia sinesis) is well known for its wound mending actions. We use mineral rich water (activated charcoal triple filtered) so during fermentation the inorganic minerals are transformed into organic bioavailable ones. Our natural process creates a mineral and nutrient rich powerhouse which is readily and easily absorbed by your skin to create nourishment for your body from the outside in.
Researchers highly recommend the adoption of green tea in skincare formulations because of its anti-inflammatory, anti-acne and anticarcinogenic value. Studies reveal rooibos polyphenols (Aspalathus linearis) may combat skin cancer and contain photoprotective effects against the damaging UVB rays of the sun.
Note: We exclusively use loose leaf tea to brew our Kombucha so as to avoid the 11.6 billion microplastics and 3.1 billion nanoplastics normally released in a single cup of tea brewed with standard tea bags.
Kombucha naturally contains multiple organic acids, such as lactic, malic, glucuronic and usnic acids which can keep your skin vibrant and youthful. These organic acids help firm and tighten pores which may reduce the appearance of wrinkles and balance your skin's natural acid mantle.
Topical application of amino acids like L-lysine and L-theanine found in Kombucha may help keep your skin vibrant, youthful and nourished.
A 2016 study recently discovered components naturally contained in Kombucha have anti-fungal properties against Malassezia fungi. Malassezia species are known to cause seborrheic dermatitis, a chronic and recurrent fungal skin infection. Malassezia is resistant to common anti-fungal medication so natural sources like Kombucha have been the focus of studies to help reduce this resistance. Scientists now recommend using Kombucha as a complementary medicine for the treatment of topical skin infections, caused by the Malassezia fungi.
Kombucha tea is also believed to have potential antimicrobial properties. A second 2016 peer reviewed study show that "Kombucha can be used as a potent antibacterial agent against entero-pathogenic bacterial infections, which mainly is attributed to its polyphenolic content." This ground breaking study discovered extracts taken from Kombucha were effective against various Gram-negative bacteria including Escherichia coli, Vibrio cholerae, Shigella flexneri and Salmonella typhimurium.
We use Kombucha in our hair care products to help regulate your scalp's oil gland secretion by balancing your acid mantle. Naturally occurring organic acids in Kombucha will provide your hair with vibrant shine and extra body.
