What is Kombucha?
Kombucha is a fermented drink made from black (or green) tea, sugar and a specific culture known as a ‘scoby’ (also known as ‘symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeasts’). This fermented tea dates back to around 2000 years to ancient China where it was used for medical purposes. It contains organic acids and natural probiotics, which have been shown to improve the skin barrier and affect skin hydration.
What are the key benefits of Kombucha for the skin?
- Improves skin tone
- Improves skin texture
- Increases hydration
- Improves skin clarity
- Probiotics help to repair the skin barrier
- Infuses skin with antioxidants (when made from green tea)
