The Nue Co.'s latest launch brings its ethos of body and environmental wellness to the field of skin care ... or skin "supplements" as the brand calls them. The "Barrier Culture" supplements, which include a cleanser and the The Nue Co. Barrier Culture Moisturiser (£45) are all about pampering the skin and balancing the skin barrier with the help of prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics — and in the moisturiser's case, with the addition of ceramides, niacinamide, squalane, peptides, glycerin, and cica (centella asiatica). Housed in glass bottles, the moisturiser formula is pretty cool, as it was developed using an innovative process that allowed the brand to stabilise the bacteria cultures without damageing its cellular structure. What does that mean for your complexion, though? Damaged bacteria basically does nothing when it comes into contact with your skin. The fact the bacteria (or probiotics) is not damaged mens the skin recognises it as "live" and will therefore start working to strengthen the skin barrier and its natural protective processes.
