The Making of ioula

Probiotics are friendly bacteria that live on our skin, inside our intestines, and even in the food that we consume everyday. We have a friendly relationship with them where they help us maintain good skin health and also gut health.

The probiotics that live on our skin and gut are different species and perform different functions.

Postbiotics are the metabolite produced by probiotics. Metabolites are substances that are produced during the life of the probiotic. Most of the reported postbiotics produced by probiotics contain enzymes, proteins, antibacterial compounds, antioxidants and other important nutrients essential to our overall health. With the presence of many essential nutrients in postbiotics, it nourishes the skin cells and help the natural microorganisms on the skin to perform better. They also reduce the chances of skin infection from the bad bacteria thus maintaining healthy skin. Postbiotics are obtained through a natural biotechnological approach using selected probiotics.

It is these very postbiotics that are the magic ingredients which we include into every bottle of ioula. This makes every bottle of ioula have the same elements to supercharge your skin cells and the friendly probiotics living there.
