Using natural skin care products containing plant-based actives and natural ingredients is a healthy and effective way to treat every skin concern from dehydration, and dullness to hyperpigmentation and signs of ageing.
Why choose natural beauty care?
Natural skin care products are a gentler choice for your skin and formulated with nutrients and antioxidants to feed and nourish your skin. You’ll avoid the toxic ingredients in traditional formulations that can dry out and damage your skin barrier as well as pose long term risks to your health.
Common toxic skincare ingredients:
- Sodium laureth sulfate (SLES)
- Parabens
- Triclosan
- Phthalates
- Oxybenzone
- Petrochemicals
Even if you’re only applying a *small* amount of these chemicals to your skin, when you apply them day after day it increases the ‘toxic load’ on your skin. This can lead to potentially harmful health and skin complications over time.
Plus, some of these chemicals are known irritants, causing immediate reactivity and inflammation for many people.
Natural skin care products are free from the toxic ingredients that put your skin and health at risk. They can contain a blend of natural and plant-derived ingredients, including active ingredients.
Active ingredients are the heavy lifters of your skin care routine. Put simply, an ‘active’ is the ingredient included in a skincare formulation to target a specific skin care concern. For example, hyperpigmentation, dehydration, ageing concerns, and redness.
We’re excited to introduce you to 5 products from the esmi range that feature the best natural skin care ingredients as well as hard working actives!
Probiotic Skin Mylck
Probiotic natural skincare products are really having their moment to shine. Exciting research continues to uncover just how beneficial topical probiotics can be for skin.
Put simply, probiotics are a group of live bacterial cultures that are beneficial for your skin and body. Good bacteria!
Lysates are concentrated doses of probiotics that research has found to be specifically beneficial for the health of your skin.
Your skin has its very own eco-system known as its microbiome which exists on the outer surface of the skin. This ecosystem is teeming good and bad bacteria (microflora) and skin needs a balance of both to be healthy.
Problems happen when bad bacteria outnumber the good bacteria. Skin can become reactive, sensitive, and inflamed.
This is where Lysates can help. Introducing these good bacteria to your skin’s microbiome can help build up your skin’s defences against bad bacteria and promote a healthy environment for skin to renew and repair itself.
A very light moisturising lotion that simply melts into the skin, the probiotic rich formulation ideal for extremely sensitive, compromised skin.
Skin Mylck contains the 100% Australian Made probiotic Lysate to help create an ideal environment for compromised, ultra sensitive skin to thrive, heal and protect itself from outside irritants and bad bacteria.

A combination of natural and plant-derived active ingredients work together to hydrate from the inside out to restore, repair and reveal healthy skin.
Hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally-occurring sugar molecule found in your body that helps skin retain much-needed moisture for plumpness and elasticity.
A natural humectant ingredient that can hold 1000x times its weight in water, hyaluronic acid attracts moisture to your skin to rehydrate the surface layer. This helps address concerns like flakiness, dullness, and fine lines.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
Niacinamide is an active form of vitamin B3. It’s a non-toxic, plant-based ingredient derived from yeast that is actually found in skin cells naturally.
It works to stimulate the production of ceramides - which are essential for a healthy skin barrier - and promote hydration.
Niacinamide is a soothing, safe ingredient for all skin types - particularly if you’re dealing with reactivity, inflammation and want to strengthen a compromised skin barrier.
Allantoin
A versatile ingredient, allantoin is known for its ability to promote the natural exfoliation of dead cells on the surface. This softens skin and aids in increased hydration as moisture is able to better penetrate the deeper levels of the skin.
