OUR HOLISTIC APPROACH TO SKIN HEALTH

When it comes to achieving healthy, radiant skin, topical skincare is essential, but it is only one part of a holistic approach. Increasingly, clinicians and consumers alike are recognising the importance of supporting skin health from within, starting with the gut.

Why consider ingestible skincare?

The connection between the gut and the skin, often referred to as the gut-skin axis, is an expanding area of clinical focus. The gut contains more bacteria than there are human cells in the entire body, estimated at around 100 trillion. It is therefore no surprise that the gut microbiome plays a significant role in inflammation, nutrient absorption, and immune function, all of which influence how the skin looks and behaves.

“I like to think of the gut as the gatekeeper to all of our organs, including the skin. So when the gut isn’t functioning optimally, or there are imbalances, toxins can enter the bloodstream and vital nutrients can’t get to the skin.”

Ingestible skincare forms part of a targeted approach to addressing gut imbalances that may be impacting skin health. By supporting the gut internally, we can help create the right conditions for the skin to function optimally. This inside-out approach does not replace topical skincare. Rather, it enhances its capacity to drive effective and consistent skin changes.

While many ingestible skincare products are specifically designed to support skin health, they often deliver broader benefits due to the gut’s central role in overall health. As a result, individuals may also notice improvements in digestion, energy levels, sleep quality, and even hair health.

Why we developed InnerGlow Elixir

With over a decade of hands-on clinical experience, Founder Jo Auld identified a clear gap in the ingestible beauty category. Many products on the market relied on single-ingredient formulations or failed to reflect the clinical understanding that skin health is influenced by multiple, interconnected pathways, particularly the gut-skin axis.

There were also practical limitations. Achieving a comprehensive, holistic blend of ingredients to support these pathways often required taking multiple capsules or separate powders, making routines difficult to maintain consistently. In addition, these formats can present challenges with absorption and ingredient stability, leading to variable effectiveness. Despite their potential advantages, liquid formulations remained largely underrepresented in the Australian market.

A first-of-its-kind formulation

InnerGlow Elixir was developed to address these gaps. The formulation is grounded in clinical experience and informed by the expertise of leading gut health professionals in Australia, bringing together evidence-based ingredients selected for their ability to work synergistically.

“Every ingredient in InnerGlow has been meticulously researched and selected with intention. Over three years of formulation and testing, we refined every element to ensure it serves a clear, science-backed purpose—no fillers, no unnecessary additions. The result is a product that reflects our commitment to the highest quality ingredients and delivers meaningful, visible outcomes for skin health.”

The liquid format is a key point of difference. Emerging evidence suggests liquid ingestibles may offer improved bioavailability compared to capsules or powders, while also being simple to use, taken directly on the tongue as a seamless addition to your morning routine.

How InnerGlow supports skin health

InnerGlow combines complementary ingredients to work across key pathways, supporting hydration, clarity, resilience and overall skin function:

  • Postbiotic ferment (Lactobacillus plantarum, Acetobacter spp., L. paracasei) supports microbial balance and helps regulate inflammation within the gut

  • Inulin (prebiotic fibre) nourishes beneficial gut bacteria and supports detoxification pathways, which may help calm congestion and reactive skin

  • Hyaluronic acid supports internal hydration, helping maintain skin moisture and improve overall appearance

  • Hydroxyproline, proline and glycine are amino acids that support collagen production and skin repair

  • Mangosteen extract provides antioxidant support to help manage oxidative stress and promote skin clarity

  • Gotu kola supports circulation and collagen production, and may assist with skin regeneration and recovery

Formulated and made in Australia, InnerGlow uses high-quality ingredients and is free from GMO ingredients, artificial colours, flavours, and preservatives.

Who is InnerGlow for?

While many people can benefit from supporting gut and skin health, InnerGlow is particularly suited to those experiencing inflammation-related skin concerns.

“Most people will benefit from InnerGlow but especially those with inflammation driven skin concerns, symptoms like dryness, acne and skin sensitivities.”

FAQs

InnerGlow Elixir is designed to support skin health from within by targeting the gut–skin axis. It helps maintain a balanced gut microbiome, which plays a key role in regulating inflammation, supporting immunity, and influencing overall skin function and appearance.

Your gut and skin are closely connected. When the gut microbiome is balanced, it can support skin health in several important ways:

  • Regulates inflammation: Helps reduce internal inflammation linked to breakouts, redness, sensitivity and premature ageing.
  • Supports skin strength and resilience: Microbial compounds help manage oxidative stress, support collagen turnover, and strengthen the skin barrier.
  • Provides building blocks for skin structure: Key amino acids contribute to collagen production, helping maintain firm, smooth and resilient skin.

InnerGlow Elixir supports the internal processes that influence skin clarity, hydration, redness, barrier strength and visible ageing. Improvements develop gradually with consistent daily use.

This formula is suitable for those seeking inside-out skin support, particularly individuals with reactive, inflamed or sensitised skin, or those investing in professional skin treatments.

No. InnerGlow Elixir contains postbiotics, which are beneficial compounds produced by bacteria. These include peptides, enzymes and metabolites that directly support gut and skin health without introducing live bacteria.

  • Prebiotics feed beneficial bacteria already present in the gut. Ingredients such as inulin and apple pectin help support microbial balance and digestive regularity
  • Probiotics are live microorganisms that add to the gut microbiome
  • Postbiotics are the active compounds produced by beneficial bacteria. These compounds help regulate inflammation, support the gut lining, and enhance nutrient absorption

InnerGlow focuses on postbiotics, supported by prebiotics, to deliver consistent and stable benefits.

InnerGlow Elixir goes beyond traditional collagen or probiotic products. It combines postbiotic fermentation, targeted prebiotics and collagen-supporting amino acids in a liquid format. This approach supports the underlying systems that influence skin health, rather than simply adding isolated nutrients.

Each 4 mL daily dose contains:

  • Glycerol (2 g): Supports hydration and mucosal moisture balance
  • Postbiotic and polyphenol ferment complex (1.75 g): Provides bioactive compounds that support microbial balance, reduce oxidative stress and help regulate inflammation
  • Collagen-supporting amino acids (120 mg total): Includes glycine, L-proline and hydroxyproline to support skin structure and repair
  • Malic acid (40 mg): Involved in cellular energy production
  • Chicory root inulin (20 mg): A prebiotic fibre that supports beneficial gut bacteria
  • Aloe vera (20 mg): Supports gut lining and epithelial health
  • Hyaluronic acid (10 mg): Contributes to skin hydration and cellular signalling
  • Apple pectin: A soluble fibre that helps nourish the gut microbiome

The recommended daily dose is 4 mL, equivalent to two pumps.

Take two pumps daily. It can be taken directly or mixed into water or your preferred drink. It can be consumed chilled or at room temperature. Consistency is key for best results.

It can be taken at any time of day. Morning use is often preferred, as the formula contains naturally occurring caffeine from guarana and green tea extract, which may support alertness.

InnerGlow Elixir can generally be taken alongside other supplements. If you are taking prescription medications or undergoing treatment, consult your healthcare provider before use.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare professional before use. The formula contains botanical extracts and naturally occurring caffeine that may not be suitable for everyone.

Liquid formats may support faster absorption compared to capsules or powders. However, the most important factor is consistency. A liquid format can make daily use simple and easy to maintain.
