The only test that dives deep into your gut-skin axis

We read in-between the lines. We don't just report what bacteria are present. We map the ones specifically linked to skin health, inflammation, and barrier function.

Get tested

Bacteria associated with skin health

Your report identifies the levels of bacteria shown in published research to support skin barrier integrity, reduce inflammation, and protect against skin conditions including eczema, acne, rosacea, and psoriasis

Disruptive bacteria linked to skin inflammation

Equally important is what your report identifies on the other side. Elevated levels of certain bacteria may be associated with increased gut permeability, endotoxin production, and systemic inflammation.
