The skin is our body's first line of defense, with a thin layer acting as an interface between our inside world with the outside world. What we often do not realize is that our skin is naturally covered with oils, waxes, and microbes—this microbial community is collectively called the microbiome, and is composed of bacteria, fungi, and anti-viral compounds.

The skin hosts a diverse community of microorganisms that begin populating our bodies, inside and out, soon after we are born. These organisms communicate back and forth with our brain to train and support our immune system and protect against pathogenic threats—anything from exposure to common skin conditions, to diseases, and even illnesses. This is why Blübiome products are all formulated to help support a healthy microbiome balance.
