THE NŪR 4 STEP BIOME BALANCE COLLECTION – A Targeted Line of Skincare Products Formulated to Support a Healthy Skin Microbiome

We are so excited to present our skincare line that has been specially designed and formulated by founder and Chemical Engineer Anisa Noor to support and balance a healthy skin microbiome. This line was created in direct response to our clients’ needs and incorporates our years of industry knowledge, experience with treating skin, and scientific research and understanding of healing botanical herbs and active ingredients.

The NŪR 4 Step Biome Balance skincare line works synergistically to balance your skin’s microbiome and is designed to keep your life simple, while promising real results. It works amazingly well when complemented with our treatments and follows our general philosophy of using clean, botanical and active ingredients to deliver real results while keeping things simple. 

First, all of our products are formulated for ALL skin types. So with a few variations, you can choose products to target your general conditions without having to change up many products. Our simple, 4 step system allows you to choose the 4 best products suitable to your needs. Here’s how it works:


STEP 1: CLEANSE
AHA/Anti-Microbial Gel Cleanser

A good cleanser, in our opinion, should have three things – it should be able to do a thorough cleansing of the pores, it should contain some gentle acid exfoliator to penetrate the dry layers, and it should not dry out the skin (i.e., contain ingredients to rebalance the moisture). 

Our AHA/Anti-Microbial Cleanse does just that. It contains glycolic acid to exfoliate and is rich with antioxidant properties of Japanese green tea and lemongrass. In a base with aloe and glycerin, it soothes the skin and prevents moisture loss in the skin’s barrier.

STEP 2: TONE
A good toner will help maintain the skin’s pH balance and becomes a crucial step following the cleanse since almost all cleansing tends to alkalize the skin. The skin’s barrier is happiest at a pH of 5.5-6.5, so it’s important not to skip this step. In fact, it’s so important to tone that at times, we tell our clients to start their skincare routine with the toner in the morning (in other words, skip step 1 in the AM routine). This allows the skin’s ecosystem to find equilibrium and prepares the skin for the next steps. Here we have two choices:


Option A:  Hydrating Electrolytes 

For dry, inflamed or ultra-sensitive skin, use this toner. It contains vacha root, green tea extract and rosewood oil. Vacha is an ayurvedic healing root that has tremendous healing properties and when combined with the antioxidant features of green tea and regenerative properties of rosewood, this combination is a calming, soothing, healing, and moisturizing toner.

Option B:  Clarifying Electrolytes

We hand make this product in our own lab without any fillers or extra ingredients, so be sure to give it a good shake before use. This toner has powerful astringent qualities that really clear the pores and fight bacteria on your skin’s ecosystem. With a powerful cocktail of organic apple cider vinegar, trace minerals, willow bark extract, and Egyptian geranium, this toner packs a punch. Use this toner for current breakouts and to help future breakouts, including those induced by wearing masks for long periods of time, aka “maskne”.

STEP 3: TREAT

This is the targeted treatment that actually focuses on specific skin conditions in order to give you the results you are looking for. They are formulated for all skin types but targeted for specific conditions, so if for instance, you wanted to try all three, use one at a time for a month, then rotate, depending on the condition that suits you at the time. In the heavy winters, we love the soothing and moisturizing effects of the sustainable aging serum, and in summers we switch to pigment control when we know I’ll be spending a lot more time in the sun. If we’re breaking out, we may switch to the probiotic acne control serum. Have fun with these – they are all great serums with powerfully active, high-performance ingredients.

Option A: Sustainable Aging Serum

As many of our clients know, we don’t like to use the industry-standard term, “anti-aging” because simply, we are not against the natural process of aging. We just believe in creating protocols and systems that allow the aging process to be sustainable. In other words, to add products and methods, that along with lifestyle, allow one to age in the healthiest way possible. We apply these beliefs to skincare as well as lifestyle.

Our sustainable aging serum is a highly regenerative humectant serum that allows the skin to retain maximum moisture. It restores collagen and improves the skin’s elasticity. For dry or mature skin, this serum has the ability to draw moisture from the air and seal it in the skin’s barrier system for the whole day, while helping it to heal and regenerate with powerful ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and rosehip and argan oils.

Option B: Pigment Control Serum

Our pigment control serum is a powerful bioactive antioxidant serum that brightens and evens skin tone without irritation. It combats free radical activity and enhances the efficacy of sunscreens. With sandalwood and mushroom extracts, it has the ability to brighten and prevent excess pigmentation in the skin.

Option C: Probiotic Acne Control Serum

Our probiotic acne control serum contains probiotic ferments of the bacteria lactobacillus, which has been proven to control and prevent breakouts in a more effective and sustained manner than dermatological antibiotics which are commonly prescribed for acne. This powerful anti-acne complex fights the p.acnes and staphylococcus strains present on acne-prone skin types. This serum also contains glycolic acid to resurface, vitamins to heal and brighten pigment, and pumpkin seed to even texture.

STEP 4: NOURISH & PROTECT
AM/PM REGENERATE

As the name suggests, this multi-function moisturizer can be used morning and nighttime and is packed with vitamins, minerals, and peptides. It nourishes the skin and allows the rapid healing and regeneration of cells while helping fade pigmentation caused by sun damage. Packed with a powerful synergistic complex of ingredients including CoQ10, rosehip oil, retinol, algae & beetroot extract this moisturizer is your go-to moisturizer with a natural scent that will make you want to eat it!

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:

AM: Steps 2, 3, 4 (if you’re using sunscreen, use before step 4)

PM: Steps 1, 2, 3, 4 

That’s right – no cleansing in the morning. One less step for when you’re rushing out the door and your skin’s eco-system will be a lot more balanced! This is because when you’ve cleansed at night, you’re already waking up with clean skin, and over-cleansing can disrupt the skin’s matrix and force it to overcompensate by producing more of what was lost in the cleansing process. 

Our products are all natural, sulfate/paraben free, cruelty free, produced with eco-friendly, sustainable packaging. Our glass bottles and outer packaging are recyclable. Our products are halal.
