Clinical Research: Re-Connecting Nature Extract

In the randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 142 participants with atopic dermatitis, the Re-Connecting Nature forest microbe extract strengthened the skin barrier, reduced skin irritation and showed particular benefit during harsh Northern seasons. These results relate to the active ingredient at its studied concentration.

What Our Customers Say

"My toddler's skin has remained soft for a long time after bathing, even though we used to apply basic creams generously due to his dry skin. It also worked quickly on severe and painful diaper rash caused by diapers and cold, dry air. My son didn't cry when the balm was applied to the sensitive area." — Heidi-Sofia L.

"The Forest Microbe Balm has been a true lifesaver for my hand eczema after just a few uses. I wash and disinfect my hands frequently at work and wear rubber gloves, leaving my hands in terrible condition. This balm has significantly reduced dryness, cracks, pompholyx symptoms, and redness." — Linda K.

"A great product for dry and itchy skin." — Pirkko Y.

"My toddler's red and irritated skin around the mouth healed in just one day with Saaren Taika Forest Microbe Balm!"

The Result

Your skin microbiome is supported and the skin barrier is strengthened with regular use. Dryness, itching and irritation feel more manageable, and your skin looks and feels calmer over time. Suitable for all skin types including newborns from 2 months, sensitive, atopic-prone and fragrance-sensitive skin.

Key Active Ingredients

Re-Connecting Nature forest microbe extract is a patented Finnish innovation developed at the University of Helsinki. In a clinical study of the active ingredient, it supported the skin's microbial balance, strengthened the skin barrier and helped calm the look and feel of atopic dermatitis-prone skin. Works by reintroducing nature's beneficial microbial diversity to your skin.

Organic shea butter (Butyrospermum parkii) is rich in triterpenes with anti-inflammatory properties. It deeply moisturises without clogging pores and helps soothe atopic-prone and dry skin.

Avocado oil (Persea gratissima) is deeply moisturising and calming. Rich in vitamins A, B, D and E as well as amino acids, it is particularly beneficial for dry, cracked and sensitive skin.

Almond oil (Prunus amygdalus dulcis) is rich in vitamins A and E and omega-3 fatty acids. It leaves your skin soft while supporting cell regeneration.

Sunflower oil (Helianthus annuus) helps maintain skin hydration and supports elasticity. Rich in vitamin E for antioxidant protection.

Tocopherol (Vitamin E) protects your skin from free radicals and supports healing.

How to Use

Apply a small amount to clean skin as often as needed, ideally daily on the whole body. Suitable for face and body, including delicate areas. Safe for use from 2 months of age. If you are using a cortisone treatment, apply this balm once the skin has healed after finishing the course.

Why Urban Skin Loses Its Natural Balance

In urban environments with high hygiene standards, reduced exposure to natural microbes can negatively impact your immune function and skin health. Regular use of forest microbe extract reintroduces nature's microbial diversity to your skin, helping support its natural balance.

Finland's pristine forests and clean soil provide an exceptional microbial ecosystem with uniquely low levels of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The Re-Connecting Nature extract brings that ecosystem to your skin.

For optimal results, use daily on the whole body. If you are using cortisone treatments, apply this balm after finishing your cortisone course once your skin has healed.
