What is Microbiome?
Microbiome is the normal colony of organisms that live on our skin and keep it healthy. You probably have taken fermented food like curds when you get a tummy upset. This is to normalise the microbiome in your stomach. Green And Beige has added prebiotics in this serum, as a food for the normal microscopic living beings that exist on it. When the healthy microbiome is damaged, the disease causing (pathogenic) organisms target your skin. This results in lesions like acne, itching, redness, skin barrier damages. It strengthens the scalp and skin from within.
