MATTIFYING DEFENSE
By now most of us have heard either whispers or volumes about the rejuvenating properties of New Zealand Manuka honey. Restore Essence Spray exponentially increases the efficacy of “nature’s gold” in this first-to-the-world formulation featuring artisanally fermented Manuka honey. Our Master Herbalist of 40 years further uplifts this formula with clinically studied Zymomonas mobilis + Swiss black bee honey ferment, a rare find that has never been seen in skincare before. This strategic and complementary pairing lavishes the skin with restorative methylglyoxal (MGO), balancing prebiotics, and rejuvenating postbiotics that nourish and repopulate the skin’s microbiome, delivering an effective cosmetic form of these highly sought-after honeys.
PROBIOTIC 6-PLEX + MANUKA HONEY FERMENT
USA + New Zealand
New Zealand Manuka honey is revered for its microbiome-friendly properties, lavishing the skin with blemish-fighting methylglyoxal (MGO) for a clearer, more even toned appearance. The mark of genuine, cosmetic-grade Manuka honey lies in the MGO grading system—the higher the MGO rating, the more you’ll enjoy the skin-soothing benefits. Our 829 MGO Manuka honey has been uplifted even further with our Probiotic 6-Plex™ to yield a ferment that nourishes the skin and its microbiome for a smoother, more even-toned complexion.
RADISH ROOT
USA
Synthetic preservatives are out of the question for our formulations, which is why we turned to fermented radish root as a natural alternative to preserve our essence sprays (which contain water) while doubling as an active, beneficial ingredient. Fermented with the powerful probiotic Leuconostoc kimchi, this potent liquid acidifies its environment while producing microbiome-balancing peptides. In addition to its preservative properties, fermented radish root improves skin moisturization for a hydrated complexion.
VANILLA PLANIFOLIA
Uganda
The aromatherapy of vanilla planifolia radiates and revitalizes the mind with mists of happiness and relaxation. Our unique choice of this potent orchid hails from Uganda, where it supports the local community, pays fair wages, and delivers a high concentration of blemish-fighting vanillin. Just as the vanilla vines twist around a tree, let this soothing spice envelop your spirit while antioxidants replenish skin texture and tone.
WATER
USA
Water acts as the critical foundation of our liquid ferments and resulting essence sprays. It doubles as a platform for probiotic + plant nutrient transformation and works to stabilize the potent nature of our essence sprays for optimal compatibility with the skin and its microbiome with daily use in mind.
ZYMOMONAS MOBILIS + SWISS BLACK BEE HONEY FERMENT
Switzerland
Replenish and protect your nature-given barrier from pollution with honey sourced from rare Swiss black bees. The probiotic in our bioactive-rich fermentation, Zymomonas mobilis, is the same probiotic strain that was used by the ancient Aztecs to produce the revered Drink of the Gods. This nutrient-rich ferment sets an ideal balance for healthy microbial growth while reducing sebum production for matte, hydrated skin that feels fortified and resilient.

United StatesRefreshing all the way
Great moisturizer for these days of drying heater and all year long. It not only freshens up but leaves your skin soft and humidified. Great quality product.
United Statesmy favorite spray in the world
I use Restore Essence Spray daily and it brings moisture and life to my skin. It has a delicate fragrance and leaves me feeling like my skin is glowing.
United StatesBetter than La Mer!
I've been loyal to La Mer for years, but I've switched to For the Biome as my go-to skincare routine -- every morning and every night. That's how good ALL the sprays and serums are. Very impressed!
For The Biome
Lisa, I am so happy to hear this! I also used to use La Mer and MUCH prefer our skincare. I am so excited to hear that it's working well for you. -Bethany
United StatesLove every product!
It’s rare that I fall in love with a skincare line (I have rosacea and it’s so hard to treat!) but For the Biome is hands down the best skincare line I’ve ever used. It’s been one month, and while of course I still have rosacea, my skin looks nourished, much less inflamed, and incredibly moisturizer. Plus, it’s such a pleasure to smell and feel the luxurious sprays and serum; I really feel like I’m doing something healing for my skin.
United StatesLovely product
It's been almost two weeks since I started using this spray (along with the soothe powder cleanser and the serum), and I love all of the products. My skin is very sensitive and suffers from acne rosacea, and while it's obviously not all resolved, the For the Biome products make my skin feel really moisturized, balanced, and comfortable. I think some of the inflammation has gone down too.
United Statesa More Even Skin TOne
I LOVE this product. It feels so wonderful on my skin. My skin tone is more even and I no longer have any clogged pores, even in areas around my nose. My skin looks so healthy.
