Why Prebiotic
At MiTru IQ™, we believe that skincare should be smart, simple, and grounded in science just like your gut, your skin has a microbiome that needs balance to thrive.
As a qualified beauty therapist with over 15 years of experience, I’ve seen firsthand how so many skincare products disrupt the skin’s natural barrier, leading to issues like sensitivity, breakouts, and premature aging. That’s why I created MiTru IQ™ a prebiotic skincare range designed to restore harmony to your skin by supporting its microbiome, not stripping it away.
Think of it this way: when your gut is out of balance, you might take a prebiotic or probiotic to restore it. Your skin works the same way. A breakout, for example, is often the result of an overgrowth of bad bacteria. Most conventional skincare treats it with harsh antibacterial but that can do more harm than good. MiTru IQ™ takes a different approach: we feed the good bacteria with powerful plant-based prebiotics to bring your skin back into balance.
Sensitive skin? It’s often a sign that your skin barrier has been compromised. Like an apple turning brown when it’s cut, your skin can begin to oxidize and weaken without the right support. That’s where our formulas step in designed to reinforce the skin’s natural defenses and help it become stronger, healthier, and more resilient over time.
MiTru IQ™ is more than skincare it’s a daily ritual of trust and transformation. Because when your skin barrier is healthy, your whole complexion changes.
