Biome Clarifying Spot Treatment
CLARIFYING — INVIGORATING — TRANSFORMATIVE
A gentle, yet powerful spot serum for tackling stubborn blemishes and preventing future spots. Designed to balance the skin microbiome and invigorate the skin’s innate defense mechanisms against harmful bacteria for clearer, healthier skin.
For acne-prone skin types and blemishes in all skin types. More than non-comedogenic — Triple Comedogen Screened™.
Ginger and Calendula promote increased circulation and lymphatic flow to support inflamed skin types.
Black Cumin, Rosalina, and Manuka Leaf gently encourage the skin microbiome back into balance and fight blemish-related bacteria, fungi, and even parasitic Demodex.
Sandalwood and Immortelle repair and regenerate damaged, hyperpigmented post-blemish skin.
Our approach to supporting blemish-prone skin is firstly by optimizing skin health and restoring balance on a molecular level. This activates the skin’s natural intelligent healing mechanisms to deliver healthier, clearer, more vibrant skin.
When you have the basics of your regimen down and skin health optimized, there are some instances where you may deal with stubborn blemishes. One of the underlying contributors in these cases can be microbiome imbalances caused by various environmental factors.
These cases are what Biome is designed for — a carefully-crafted, microbiome-targeted formulation inspired by working one-on-one with the Sana community.
As an esthetician, researcher, and recovering perfectionist, I am deeply intrigued by the skin and mildly obsessed with getting to the bottom of the (sometimes unique) skin issues our community faces.
So, when I noticed a pattern of stubborn blemishes among our community members who had recently taken antibiotics, been exposed to mold, or had been under intense stress, I decided to look deeper into the microbiome and the different imbalances that can occur.
This research, inspired by the experiences from our community, is really what created the foundations of the Biome formula. It’s a step towards creating targeted skin tools you can have in your regimen to reach for as you tune into your skin’s unique, ever-evolving needs.

Key Ingredients
BIOME BALANCE COMPLEX
A blend of supercritical Black Cumin, Manuka Tree, and Rosalina synergize to address the growth of acne-causing microorganisms like C. acnes, Malassezia spp., Candida albicans, and S. aureus.
INVIGORATING BOTANICAL BLEND
A synergistic combination of lymph-moving Calendula and invigorating supercritical Turmeric and Ginger extract gently move heat and dampness out of the skin and reawaken natural defense systems.
SANTALUM PANICULATUM OIL
Santalum paniculatum, a sustainably-sourced species of Sandalwood, is rich in blemish-fighting, skin-balancing alpha-santalol. This unique plant compound is also a powerful tyrosinase-inhibitor, delivering brighter, more even skin over time.
Active Regimen: Apply 1-3 drops to areas of active breakouts after serums and before SPF (AM and PM). Apply as needed when you feel a blemish beginning to form. Alternatively, mix 1-3 drops with Clarity or Vitale and apply all over the skin from preventative and comprehensive microbiome support.
Maintenance Regimen: During periods of skin clarity, mix 1 drop of Biome with Clarity or Vitale to maintain microbiome balance.

FAQs
Clarity and Biome are our two powerhouse formulas specifically targeted at addressing the molecular triggers of acne. While they both support skin clarity, they work in slightly different ways that support subtypes of acne-prone skin.
Clarity targets the root cause of breakouts — cellular inflammation and free radical damage — with acne-safe bioactives and clinicals. It also infuses the skin with lipids for skin barrier repair, a major cause of inflammation in the skin.
At the foundational level, every acne-prone skin type needs inflammation, free radical, and barrier support. This supports skin clarity, beginning on the cellular level.
But, there are some cases, even when cellular health is optimized, where the skin’s ability to maintain a healthy microbiome is compromised. This leads to stubborn bacterial overgrowth that causes stubborn breakouts (that may be frustrating to treat).
This can happen for many different reasons:
- Antibiotic use (topical or oral), which can cause bacteria to mutate and grow more aggressively.
- Mold exposure.
- Hormonal contraceptive use.
- Certain medications (like corticosteroids).
- Nutrient deficiencies.
- and more.
In these cases, the microbiome and skin’s natural microbiome-regulating systems needs more targeted support. And that’s where Biome comes in.
With a combination of bacteria-fighting and invigorating botanicals, Biome strengthens and balances the skin to clear stubborn blemishes.
No, Biome does not contain any tea tree oil! But, it does contain a plant from the same Melaleuca family.
Tea tree, or Melaleuca alternifolia, and Rosalina, or Melaleuca ericifolia, sound very similar but they are two distinctly different plants with distinctly different phytochemical profiles.
While tea tree is a very potent, medicinal oil, Rosalina is a much softer, gentler oil that works gently on the skin microbiome.
No, Biome does not contain any manuka honey! Biome contains a distillation of wild Manuka leaf from the Manuka tree — where Manuka honey gets its name.
While honey bees do feed on the nectar of the Manuka tree’s flowers to produce the unique Manuka honey, Manuka leaf is unrelated to Manuka honey and doesn’t share any of its same characteristics.
