How our skincare ingredients transform your skin

Your skincare should do more than just sit on your skin — it should actively work with it. 

At Nourished3, every ingredient is chosen with intention — but it’s how they work together that creates real transformation. Our skincare formula blends clinically studied actives that support each other to soothe, hydrate, brighten, and renew your skin, while strengthening its natural barrier.

And because we believe in treating the skin from the inside out, this formula is designed to work synergistically with our Clear Skin Collection, Clarity Within™ gut health supplement, and Calm Within™ brain health supplement—a complete system that supports your skin, gut, and mind for long-term clarity and resilience.

Here’s how our transformative skincare ingredients blend brings hydration, clarity, balance, and glow to every skin type:

Postbiotic Complex: Gently exfoliates, nourishes deeply & supports microbiome balance

True skin renewal begins at the microbiome level — the living ecosystem that protects, calms, and regulates your skin. Our next-generation Postbiotic Complex, powered by Lactobacillus/Punica Granatum Fruit Ferment Extract, goes beyond traditional exfoliants. It delivers gentle enzymatic resurfacing while helping to restore harmony to stressed, imbalanced, or sensitive skin.

This ingredient is created through a natural fermentation process in which Lactobacillus, a beneficial probiotic strain, ferments pomegranate pulp. During this process, the bacteria break down the fruit’s compounds into smaller, bioactive molecules such as enzymes, peptides, and antioxidants. Once fermentation is complete, the bacteria are inactivated. What remains are their postbiotic byproducts, which help nourish the skin, reinforce the barrier, and promote microbial balance.

Unlike live probiotics (which are unstable in skincare), postbiotics are stable, safe, and highly effective, making them ideal for sensitive, acne-prone, or compromised skin.

Research on the active has shown: 

• +26% increase in cellular renewal (Dansyl Chloride Cell Renewal Study)

• 48.25% improvement in hydration within 24 hours

• 14% reduction in pigmentation for a more even skin tone

• 12.13% reduction in transepidermal water loss, reinforcing the skin barrier

• +11.5% reduction in UV-induced spots

• ↑ Significant improvement in skin moisture, brightness, elasticity, and collagen density

• Gentle enzymatic exfoliation — smooths without irritation

• Supports skin renewal by accelerating natural cell turnover

• Soothes inflammation — thanks to chlorogenic acid, naturally found in pomegranate

• Promotes microbiome balance through fermented bioactives

• Revitalizes the complexion — for clearer, smoother, more refreshed skin

• Clean formulation — water-extracted, preservative-free, and 88.5% biodegradable

Complete your inside-out ritual

Glowing, resilient skin isn’t the result of just one product—it’s the harmony of a well-rounded ritual that works with your biology.

Together, these products create a 360° routine that doesn’t just treat symptoms—it targets the root causes of skin issues like stress, inflammation, and barrier dysfunction.

Because real beauty begins within, and your skin deserves care that goes deeper.
