Never heard of Chicory Root? You might be familiar with the supplement, but it’s also a super powerful natural ingredient that can help keep your skin in check! We're here to give you the lowdown on one of our most loved ingredients, so much so that we pack it into our formulas! Chicory root is a perennial herb, derived from the dandelion family. It commonly grows in Europe, Africa, Asia and North America, characterised by its vibrant blue flowers and spiky roots. This little plant could made a huge difference to your skin! Here's how...

EVER HEARD OF THE MICROBIOME?

Your skin is home to millions of microorganisms that help your skin to function properly and protect itself, making it one of the most important part of your body to look after. As an effective natural prebiotic, Chicory Root discourages the growth of harmful bacteria on your skin and provides a food source for the good bacteria, helping it to overpower the bad and strengthen your skin barrier. Chicory Root works by encouraging the optimal balance of microbes on the skin, keeping it protected from issues like dryness, redness and inflammation or even developing conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

Sounds good, right?
