Kombucha: A Centuries’ Long Potion for Health is Now Available For Your Skin
About Kombucha:
 Fermentation is a process that has been used for thousands of years in food and drink all over the world to release the nutrient properties and make them available to the body. The host of beneficial probiotics in yeast cultures have long been known to impart their beneficial and taste-enhancing properties to artisan breads, spirits and dairy products like yogurt and kefir, as well as to Kombucha, a beverage made of fermented tea, that has gained popularity recently as a healthful source of abundant probiotics.
Recent studies have shown evidence to back up the folk wisdom that cultures all over the world have understood for millennia: that a healthy digestive system benefits the entire body and spirit. That understanding of the holistic benefits of fermentation has also extended to skin care.
 Since 220 BC during the Tsin Dynasty in China, Kombucha has been consumed, valued for the health-giving properties, which were considered magical. Derived from fermenting black, green and Oolong tea, Kombucha has made its way into skin care due to the powerhouse combination of probiotics and antioxidants it can impart to the skin.
Kombucha fermentation typically takes three days. The tea is mixed with a SCOBY starter (symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast) in a jar, covered and left at room temperature. As the tea ferments, the warm atmosphere in the jar mixes with the starter, causing the yeasts in the starter to ferment the tea and proliferate. After several days, the tea becomes tangy and carbonated tasting and is now full of amino acids and gut-beneficial bacterias and oligosaccharides, such as Lactobacillus sp., Lactococcus sp., Leuconostoc sp., Bifidobacterium sp., Thermus sp., and Allobacullum sp., to name only a few of the compounds in Kombucha that fight off bad bacteria and help boost the immune system. (References: Marsh et al. (2014); Vīna, Semjonovs, Linde, & Patetko.
Add these numerous beneficial compounds to the catechins, flavonoids and antioxidants already present in tea, and you have a potential cornucopia of health-promoting ingredients that can detoxify, balance and protect the body from the degrading effects of oxidation.
How Does Kombucha Work in Skin Care?
Science has definitively established the link between the gut microbiome and the skin, meaning the same probiotic metabolites that help balance gut health can maintain the same healthy balance in the skin barrier. This connection makes Kombucha an ideal ingredient for skin care.
