Summary
In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta sits down with Dalia Fernandez, Product Development Director at Amala, to explore the science behind microbiome-focused skincare. Known for its commitment to natural and organic formulations backed by clinical trials, Amala is redefining clean beauty with innovative, microbiome-friendly products.
Dalia shares her journey from working with tech-forward skincare brand FOREO in China to joining Amala during the pandemic. Drawn by its dedication to natural ingredients, skin health, and clinical rigor, she now champions Amala’s mission to balance the skin microbiome through cutting-edge formulations. At the heart of Amala’s approach are fermented ingredients like probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics, which nourish and protect the skin’s bacterial ecosystem, ensuring improved hydration, reduced irritation, and a stronger skin barrier.
The conversation highlights Amala’s standout products, including the Retexturizing Gel Aqua Peel, which delivers spa-like exfoliation using natural AHAs, BHAs, and bioferments, and the Advanced Firming Complex, a global bestseller clinically proven to improve firmness and hydration. Dalia also spotlights the Collagen Boosting Peptide Mask, a perfect companion for at-home facials.
Dalia emphasizes the importance of pairing topical care with a healthy diet, incorporating fermented foods and probiotics for holistic skin health. Amala’s thoughtful formulations, certified by NATRUE and built on sustainability, make it a leader in microbiome-focused skincare. Whether you’re new to clean beauty or looking to elevate your routine, this episode offers an inspiring look at how nature and science combine to transform skin health.
