About this training program

Healthy skin doesn't exist in isolation. Its function, appearance and resilience are influenced by nutrition, the gut microbiome and the complex microbial ecosystem living directly on its surface.

Beauty & The Biome brings together three specialist SNI courses to explore these interconnected foundations of skin health.

You'll begin with the nutritional fundamentals of healthy skin before exploring the gut–skin axis: how gut microbes, intestinal barrier function, inflammation and microbial metabolites can influence the skin from within.

Finally, you'll turn your attention to the skin's own microbiome and its relationship with the acid mantle, lipid barrier, hydration, sebum and common skin concerns. Together, the three courses provide a practical introduction to understanding skin as part of a much larger biological ecosystem.

Professionally Accredited Education

Beauty & The Biome provides 13 CPD / CE credits and includes personalised Certificates of Completion and digital badges following successful completion of each course.. Skin Nutrition Institute provides independently accredited professional education in skin nutrition and Integrative Nutridermatology®.

SNI is accredited by professional organisations including the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine (IPHM), Complementary Medical Association (CMA) and the International Guild of Complementary Therapists (IGCT).

What our students say...

Petya

My biggest 'aha' moment was learning that gluten triggers a protein called zonulin which loosens the gut lining and that gut bacteria actually make 20% of the amino acids we need for collagen.

Tashalida Richardson

As a skin care formulator I use lots of glycerine products but will now ensure I use them all the time knowing what they contribute to the skin microbiome.

Johanna

Thank you very much.I’ve learned about how important Vit D3 on the regulation of Cathelicidins which is the defense against some of the skin issues we have such as psoriasis and eczema. I believe it is necessary for us to spend a bit of our time outdoors to get a natural Vitamin D.
