Our products
The Esse product range is scientifically formulated for all skin types – with prebiotics, probiotics and active ingredients to get your skin back to its best.
A healthy microbiome is essential to keep skin looking younger for longer. Rewilding is the science of returning skin to its balanced and “wild” state through biotechnology. Esse helps create the environment for your skin’s natural microbes to flourish, restoring its ecology.
Your first line of defence
Your microbiome is an ecosystem of billions of diverse microbes that protect skin from pathogens. Similar to your gut, these bacteria, fungi and viruses have essential roles in protecting you and educating your immune system. They also help skin produce Hyaluronic Acid and other moisturising factors, while maintaining the skin’s pH and helping produce calm, healthy skin that not only looks better but ages slower. Skin is the largest organ of the human body. It is essential to look after it.
The big issue
Our modern lifestyles don’t do our microbial partners any favours. Less contact with nature than our ancestors had, results in less microbial diversity. Using industrial beauty products with surfactants and parabens, strips our microbiome. The result is a massive increase in sensitive skin, acne and other skin problems.
Biotechnology is the answer
Esse offers a sustainable solution in scientifically proven organic biotechnology. Our products create an environment on skin that allows natural microbial diversity to return and thrive. Probiotics and prebiotics in organic formulations help restore the balance in a process we call “rewilding” – resulting in younger and healthier looking skin.
Probiotics & Prebiotics
Probiotics are live microbes that can shift the skin’s ecology to favour a diverse ecosystem healthy enough to resist attacks from pathogens. They also slow the skin’s rate of ageing by reducing inflammation. Esse seeds the skin with probiotics and feeds the skin with prebiotic nutrients to ensure a microbial intervention that balances the skin’s ecology.
The phformula laboratories are based in Barcelona, Spain, drawing on decades of combined experience and are known for their scientific knowledge and quality products in the aesthetic, medical, and pharmaceutical markets. phformula was founded in 2010 with a clear vision of skin resurfacing rather than traditional peeling.
It’s all in the name
The “pH” in the name of phformula refers to the power of the hydrogen ions (maximum protons that are delivered into the skin).
The efficacy of controlled chemical skin resurfacing not only depends on the choice, nature or concentration of the acids used but, more importantly, effective proton delivery. Effective proton delivery sees the maximum number of protons delivered in a uniform manner, without causing excessive skin irritation during contact time with the skin. Protons are also called hydrogen ions. Once these active ingredients are applied to the skin, they function as molecules with the ability to transport the protons, the hydrogen ions, to different layers of the skin, resulting in the acceleration of cell turnover and optimum skin health regeneration.
