The Chill Factor: Cooling & Barrier Innovations with Minimal Steps

Since it's summer now, skin care routine needs to change. 2025 summer calls for multi-barrier function, cooling relief, and robust skin protection in addition to moisturizing.

To address this need, we at Active Bioworks combine plant-based innovation with biotechnology. Utilizing fermentation technology, regenerative postbiotics, and botanical bioactives, our most recent formulation idea, the "Cooling and Resilience Ritual," embraces the season's light textures while providing skin relief, microbiome protection, and barrier repair support.

🌀Step 1: Cooling Cleanse

GlowCare V
A dynamic fruit complex for antioxidant-rich refreshment.

Formulated with a unique blend of:

Citrus australasica (Finger Lime)
Vaccinium macrocarpon (Cranberry)
Actinidia chinensis (Kiwi)
Rubus idaeus (Raspberry)
Cucumis melo (Melon)

GlowCare V delivers a burst of natural AHAs, and enzymatic exfoliation while instantly cooling and revitalizing skin. Ideal for use in:

pH-balanced cleansers
Facial mists
Even tone & radiance skin products

This complex not only uplifts the skin’s surface with brightness but preps it for deeper actives — making it the perfect first step in a summer skincare ritual.

💧 Step 2: Barrier Rescue Serum

HydrActive 100 | Postbiotic Complex

HydrActive 100 is a biotech-powered hydration system based on:

Lactobacillus/Aloe barbadensis Ferment Filtrate
Xylitol
Glucomannan
Beta Glucan

The active delivers multi-level moisture, barrier repair support, and microbiome balancing — making it ideal for skin recovering from sun, dehydration, or pollution.

When combined with a postbiotic content, the formula supports:

Improved skin recovery mechanisms
Inflammation modulation
Strengthening of the skin defenses
Reduction TEWL

Perfect for soothing facial serums, gel masks, or as a “barrier booster” step in any summer routine.

🟢Step 3: Soothing / Hydrating Mist

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Water + Cucumber Fruit Water

Infused with nature’s most iconic hydrators, this ultra-light mist offers:

Cooling sensory effects
Immediate skin comfort
Ongoing hydration throughout the day

Both aloe and cucumber waters as skin-friendly BioWaters — replacing traditional water with performance-rich plant waters for formulation minimalism and efficacy.

This mist can be used:

Throughout the day to cool and hydrate.
After cleansing to tone and refresh.
Over makeup to restore a natural glow.
