Our mission
Dermabiota is a female-led, family-run UK business. We believe that achieving balance in the gut-skin axis and supporting gut function is essential for long-term skin health.
Our bodies are home to trillions of microorganisms—known as the microbiota—which help maintain balance across the gut, skin, and overall well-being. When this delicate ecosystem is disrupted, it can contribute to skin concerns such as eczema, MRSA, dermatitis, and TSW inflammation, as well as digestive discomfort and gut imbalances.
Our probiotics are scientifically formulated to restore this balance, working from the inside out. We use premium, science-backed probiotic strains to ensure quality and effectiveness. Dermabiota products are designed not only to support skin health but also to strengthen the connection between gut health and overall wellness.
We’re committed to providing research-led solutions for a range of skin and gut health concerns.
My Journey to Healing: The Story Behind Dermabiota
Dermabiota was born from a deeply personal journey—one shaped by years of struggling with skin and gut health, searching for real healing, and discovering the power of the gut-skin connection.
I’ve had eczema since infancy, and my experience with treatments was long and complicated. Like many, I relied on oral and topical steroids for most of my life—until a doctor suggested I stop. He warned that I might go through something called topical steroid withdrawal (TSW). At the time, I had no idea what that meant. I was naive, unprepared, and completely unaware of the physical and emotional toll ahead. Removing long-term steroid use from my body triggered a gruelling recovery process that lasted nearly five years—far longer than the few months I had hoped for. Key life milestones, like marriage and starting a family, were put on hold. It was isolating and frustrating, but connecting with a Facebook support group of over 10,000 people going through the same thing was a turning point.
Desperate for relief, I spent thousands of pounds on vitamins, creams, and treatments—each one promising healing but offering little to no improvement. I tried UV therapy, immunosuppressants, biologics, and more. When side effects appeared, I was offered more steroids. It felt like an endless cycle, one that many eczema sufferers know all too well.
At the same time, my gut health collapsed. Eating became painful, and as a foodie, that was especially hard to accept. Medical tests were inconclusive, and doctors diagnosed IBS, offering antidepressants as a solution. Frustrated and sleep-deprived from TSW, I spent endless nights researching, desperate for answers. That’s when I discovered the gut-skin axis—the powerful, bi-directional relationship between gut and skin health. My body was inflamed, both inside and out, and healing meant addressing the root cause, not just masking symptoms.
Now, I’m on a mission to help others take a holistic, sustainable approach to managing skin and gut health. Dermabiota is here to provide real, science-backed support—because I know firsthand how hard it is to navigate this journey alone. Instead of relying on treatments that only offer temporary relief, I want to empower people with solutions that work from the inside out.
I had incredible support when I was in survival mode, and now, through Dermabiota, I hope to support you in achieving long-term healing—because a healthy gut means healthier skin.
