Brief summary
The overall objective of this study is to assess how oral supplementation with Inner Calm and the use of topical Super Calm can affect the appearance of skin and inner wellness, such as redness, skin sensitivity, and reactionary skin.
Detailed description
The landscape for skin health has expanded past a focused use of topicals to incorporate the use of supplementation. Notable examples include the ingestion of carotenoids and beta-carotene to augment skin antioxidant status or the role of diet on different skin conditions. The role of this investigation is to define how Inner Calm (oral supplementation) may promote healthier skin and how this may work in synergy with Super Calm (topical supplementation).
