SYN BIO PSK is composed of phytoplankton and their microbiota that inhabit the ocean floor, i.e. the "skin of the oceans". This tiny microecosystem is a superorganism, playing a key roll in the Earth's food chain and nutrient cycle. Applying Blue Biotech "Phycosphere Biodynamic Technology®" we biomimics this marine ecosystem to produce SYN BIO PSK.
As a unique combination of marine oligosaccharides, polyphenols and vitamins, SYN BIO PSK exert prebiotic effect promoting the growth of beneficial microbiota (e.g., Staphylococcus epidermidis) and prevent the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus and Cutibacterium acnes). Furthermore, polyphenols molecules exert postbiotic effects helping to balance the sebum of the scalp and protect against dehydration.

ÆONOME™
A secret hidden 3 million years
Æonome™ is an agebiotic that induces the release of antioxidants by a balanced microbiotaprotecting skin from visible signs of aging.
