Caring for Your Skin & Scalp Microbiome
✨ The Glow & Calm Elixir
Table of Contents
Did you know the health of your skin, scalp, and even your hair depends on your microbiome – the trillions of microbes living on your skin and scalp? Far from being harmful or passive, these microbes play a vital role in how your skin looks and feels. And just like the rest of your body, they need care to stay in balance.
That’s where Glow & Calm Elixir for Scalp & Skin comes in. 100% natural and backed by science, every ingredient is chosen to:
🌿 Soothe & calm with alpha-bisabolol extract and oat seed
🌿 Rejuvenate & restore with cacay seed and buriti oil
🌿 Nourish & revitalise with sea buckthorn and meadowfoam
Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, natural retinol, beta-carotene, and omega fatty acids, this nutrient-dense elixir works in harmony with your skin and scalp – supporting balance, resilience, and a natural glow. (See below for full list of ingredients)

Skin Microbiome Benefits
Your skin health starts at the barrier level – and a strong skin barrier depends on a healthy, balanced microbiome. When that balance is disrupted, you may notice signs like tightness, irritation, inflammation or sensitivity; even acne or rosacea. Psoriasis and eczema are also linked to our skin and gut microbiomes!
Glow & Calm Elixir is formulated with microbiome-friendly ingredients that help nurture this balance. It’s gentle enough for senstive scalps, and ideal for reactive or delicate skin types.
Skincare for your Scalp
Did you know that healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp?
If your hair looks dry, dull, or lifeless, the problem may be your scalp microbiome.
Glow & Calm is not just a scalp oil – it’s skin care for your scalp.
This 100% natural elixir supports the skin beneath your hair, helping restore balance, comfort, and visible shine.
🌿 Why Glow & Calm Elixir?
For years my sister and I struggled with sensitive, reactive skin – nothing worked, despite trying sooooo many products … Then I realised that my traditional skincare plus haircare products were part of the problem, with their long list of synthetic ingredients, fragrance and artificial fillers.
But finding a gentle, yet effective solution was far from easy!
So we created what we needed:
A calming, microbiome-friendly scalp and skincare treatment that works without synthetic ingredients.
Glow & Calm Scalp & Skin is designed to support both your scalp and skin, especially if you deal with super-sensitive, dull and inflamed skin.

Loaded with beta-carotene and antioxidants. Helps reduce redness and supports skin exposed to sun and stress.

🔸 Pumpkin Seed Oil
Rich in zinc, antioxidants, and fatty acids, pumpkin seed oil helps strengthen the scalp’s barrier, reduce dryness, and support a healthy microbiome.
It’s especially helpful for soothing sensitive skin and promoting a healthier scalp environment – that’s a win-win in my book!

🔸 Cacay Oil
Cacay oil is naturally high in linoleic acid, vitamin E, and retinol (vitamin A). This unique composition helps support skin barrier function, improve hydration, and protect against oxidative stress.
On the scalp, its lightweight texture nourishes without greasiness, helping maintain a balanced environment that supports skin and hair health.
These skin microbiome friendly ingredients help:
- Calm scalp and skin irritation
