A breakthrough scientific formula that activates your biology to foundationally change your skin ecosystem.
SIV Biome-Balancing Serum is the first topical solution to use Bacillus spores that adapt to your particular skin care needs, creating homeostasis on the skin without the use of harsh chemicals. These spores do not overwhelm the skin — they act as a conductor to the orchestra of microbes present, offering a level of customization that can't be found anywhere else.
SKIN IDENTICAL INGREDIENTS:
Squalane: Biomimetic oil, molecule derived from non-GMO sugarcane that mimics squalene, beneficial in promoting skin hydration
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride: a mixture of caprylic and capric fatty acids derived from coconut oil; helps replenish the skin’s surface and help it to resist moisture loss
Glyceryl Caprylate: a natural, plant-based emollient derived from glycerin and plant fatty acids; restores the skin’s oils, regulates the skin moisture and acts as a humidifier to the skin.
Bacillus: A proprietary blend of Bacillus spores activates a healthy skin foundation and visibly improves skin. Positively influencing your unique skin biome and establishing balance. Bacillus spores lay dormant in the formula and are designed to activate from the natural heat, oils, and water from the skin. This allows the spores to change and improve the skin microbiome by targeting overgrown bacteria while facilitating the growth of other essential species- effectively balancing the skin microbiome.
FAQ:
ORDER/LAYERING OF PRODUCT:
If the skin is more tolerant, can use your water-based actives (exfoliating serums, retinol, acids, etc) before SIV and then finish with their moisturizer.
If the skin is more reactive, use SIV before other products to help the tolerance level. Make sure to wait 30 seconds to a minute before applying water-based products on top of SIV to ensure they can be absorbed. Finish with moisturizer.
*Leave- on benzoyl peroxide should ALWAYS be applied last.
WHY DO I NEED TO SHAKE BEFORE USE:
The bacillus spores settle to the bottom of the dropper (we did not want to add a suspension and compromise the formula); therefore, to ensure the product works right, we need to ensure that the bacteria is fully incorporated into the formula.
Once the rubber bottom of the dropper is clear, the bacillus spores are fully incorporated into the product and it’s ready to use.
HOW DO I DISPENSE THE SERUM:
GENTLY press the bottom of the dropper bottle (the clear rubber part) to dispense a drop of the serum.
Press VERY gently, as to not apply too much. 1-2 drops for the entire face is all that is needed.
