The science behind the gut–skin axis.

Did you know your gut and skin are connected through a complex, two-way communication network known as the gut–skin axis?

Emerging research continues to explore how the gut microbiome influences skin health, particularly through its relationship with immune function and inflammatory responses.

A diverse, balanced gut microbiome plays an important role in regulating inflammation and maintaining immune function, both of which contribute to healthy skin function and barrier resilience. It’s this connection that informs our approach to skin health beyond topical skincare.

Meridien incorporates our InnerGlow Elixir into her daily wellness routine as a considered way to complement her skincare from within, because supporting skin health means looking beyond the skin’s surface 🤍

For our founder, Jo Auld, the connection between gut health, inflammation and skin function inspired the development of InnerGlow Elixir, a science-led ingestible designed to complement topical skincare by supporting skin health from within.

The formulation brings together a targeted blend of skin loving ingredients, each selected for its role in supporting gut and skin health:

➕ Prebiotics support beneficial gut bacteria, while Postbiotics help maintain gut microbiome balance and support the gut–skin axis.
➕ Hyaluronic Acid supports skin hydration and moisture retention.
➕ Hydroxyproline, Proline and Glycine are amino acids involved in collagen synthesis and skin structure.
➕ Antioxidant-rich botanicals, including Mangosteen, help protect against oxidative stress.

An easy addition to your morning routine. Simply add two pumps to water or take directly on your tongue!

A considered, inside-out approach to skin health 🤍

Something special has been taking shape behind the scenes… and our doors are officially open 🩵

After months of planning, designing and bringing our vision to life, we’re so excited to welcome you to The Skincare Company’s first-ever concept store and clinic in Newtown, Geelong. Opening our first flagship right where The Skincare Company began more than 15 years ago feels particularly special.

After years of being welcomed into your homes and becoming part of your daily routines, we now have a unique space of our own in which to welcome you.

A tangible extension of The Skincare Company, our flagship is a place to touch and feel our products, discover new launches, ask questions specific to your skin needs, and experience The Skincare Company in person.

Newtown, come say hello. We can’t wait to meet you.

Has your skin suddenly stopped responding to the routine you’ve sworn by for years?

Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can leave skin feeling drier, more sensitive and less resilient.

Intensive Restore goes a step beyond everyday moisturisation. Developed to respond to a clinical need for more targeted support during hormonal change, it helps restore the skin barrier, replenish moisture and lipids, and calm inflammation.

Because when your skin changes, your skincare may need to change with it.

Why is a skincare brand talking about gut health?

After 15 years spent perfecting topical skincare, it’s one of the questions our Founder, Jo, has been asked most since launching InnerGlow.

So, she sat down with Clinical Nutritionist and gut health expert Adelle Gniel to unpack all things InnerGlow Elixir - why she decided to look beyond the skin’s surface, who InnerGlow is designed to support, and what sets it apart in an increasingly crowded gut health space.
