the skin's microbiome. Many inflammatory skin problems are linked to an imbalance in the
microbiota. The spores are resistant bacteria that can help reduce overgrowth.
bacteria strains on the skin while simultaneously promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria — effectively balancing the skin's microbiome.

Simply put: Breakdown of the skin barrier caused by an imbalance in the skin's bacteria.

In detail: Leaky skin means that the skin barrier is broken down due to an imbalance in the skin's bacteria. The composition of the skin microbiome directly affects the structure of the physical skin barrier. When this barrier becomes weakened, toxins can penetrate the skin and cause inflammation throughout the body.
Leaky skin is an independent risk factor for several health problems beyond the skin (Baltimore

Simply put: SIV™ helps to balance the skin's microbiome. An imbalance in the skin's bacteria can cause various inflammatory skin problems such as rosacea, psoriasis, acne, eczema, dryness, etc.

In detail: The serum acts on the skin's immune system – one of the most important areas that the microbiome affects.
When inflammation occurs, it is often because the immune system overreacts to harmless factors, which is triggered by an imbalance in the skin's microbiome.

-Do not use if you are allergic to any of the ingredients.
-Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
-Avoid contact with eyes; if product gets into eyes, rinse immediately with water.
-If you have very sensitive skin, test it on a small area of skin first before applying it to a larger area.

Apply SIV after cleansing and toning, but before other serums and moisturizers.
Proposed order:
1. Cleaning
2. Toner
3. SIV
4. Andra serum
5. Moisturizer / sunscreen (SPF)
Note: If you are using leave-on benzoyl peroxide (BPO), apply it in the opposite order to SIV.
unless otherwise recommended by the healthcare provider.
Example: If you use BPO in the evening, apply SIV in the morning.

It supports the skin barrier and microbiome, making it compatible with most skincare routines. However, keep in mind that if you use any kind of bactericidal product (note: bactericidal substances do not distinguish between good and bad bacteria), SIV is a spore bacterium and it will become counterproductive.

Yes! The Biome Balancing Serum has an earthy, organic scent – that's a good thing!
As your microbiome recovers, the odor will gradually decrease.
SIV contains no added fragrances, as these can disrupt the skin's microbiome.
The natural scent comes from the biocompatible ingredients (from Bacillus).
The scent fades quickly, especially when you apply other products on top.

When we say shake – we really mean SHAKE!
The Bacillus spores sink to the bottom of the container (because we don't use an additive to keep them suspended, in order to protect the formula).
Therefore, shake well to ensure the spores are evenly mixed in the serum. Look at the bottom of the container to make sure the liquid is clear and transparent.
Shake in this manner before EACH use.

One tube contains approximately 200 drops. If you use 2 drops per day, the tube will therefore last for more than 3 months. If you have larger batches that need SIV or, under certain circumstances, use more than 2 drops per day, more of the product will be used and it will therefore not last as long.
