If you’re not yet familiar with Biophile, let me introduce you to what I believe is the most innovative new skincare brand of the past year. Based right here with me in Brooklyn, Biophile is the brainchild of Alison Cutlan — a brilliant biologist and former colleague of mine from Kiehl’s.
Alison developed what she terms biotic broths — fermented concoctions that consist of a blend of probiotic bacteria and plant extracts.
Each of the three products in the Biophile range is a powerful nutritional formula that works synergistically with the skin to nourish and promote optimum skin health. And, each of the formulas is self-preserving — an extra-ordinary feat that raises the Biophile formulas to what I believe to be the next level of clean skin care.
Biophile’s award-winning Bio-Shroom Rejuvenating Serum is perhaps the star of the three-product range. There’s just something that seems so otherworldly about this serum! And that’s precisely the reason it was awarded the 2019 Indie Beauty Expo “best in show serum”.
Ninety-percent fermentation-derived, the Bio-Shroom Rejuvenating Serum is powered by one of the brand’s unique, proprietary broths — the SHROOM BioticBroth™.
In this case, the broth is a blend of mushroom extracts derived from chaga, reishi and tremella (also known as snow mushroom) that “are bio-processed with multi-strain probiotic bacteria to create a unique fermentation broth rich in adaptogens, antioxidants, lactic acid and hydrating fungal polysaccharides to feed the skin while supporting the barrier and biome.”
You see what I mean! How much more pro-skin health can you get?
The Bio-Shroom Rejuvenating Serum has a slightly pulpy, amber formula that feels like liquid silk on the skin. It’s intended to calm reactive skin and protect against environmental stress.
The serum is infused with protective antioxidant vitamins, including both Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and Ethyl Ascorbic Acid — a relatively stable form of Vitamin C that’s close in molecular weight to pure Vitamin C and has a visible brightening benefit on the skin.
Perhaps one of the most intriguing actives in Biophile’s Bio-Shroom Rejuvenating Serum formula is Acetyl-Glucosamine (NAG) — a component of polysaccharides found in our cells that helps to stimulate the production of Hyaluronic Acid in the skin.
I have rarely come across a brand or skincare product that talks about stimulating skin’s own Hyaluronic Acid.
Also included in the serum concoction is Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, a smaller molecular anti-aging peptide that can penetrate the skin barrier more easily and is believed to have the unique ability to enhance skin firmness. Biophile says it “can activate the body’s own Tissue Growth Factor (TGF-B) and stimulate collagen synthesis in fibroblast cells.” I love dope science.
