FAQ's
Below are answers to the most common questions we hear from women navigating perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause.
Nu Allumé is an Australian skincare brand pioneering the microbiome–menopause connection. Our products were created specifically for women experiencing perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause. By focusing on the skin’s microbiome and hormonal skin changes, Nu Allumé is helping create a new category in beauty, microbiome-focused menopause skincare.
During hormonal transition the skin’s surface environment changes. This environment is where the skin’s microbiome lives, the community of beneficial microorganisms that support skin health. As hormones shift the conditions that support these microorganisms change as well. This can influence hydration, sensitivity and overall skin behaviour.
The skin microbiome is the community of beneficial microorganisms that live on the surface of the skin. These microorganisms play an important role in supporting the skin barrier, regulating inflammation and helping maintain hydration and overall skin health.
Hormonal changes during perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause influence the skin’s surface environment. As oil production, hydration and the skin barrier shift the conditions that support the microbiome also change, which can influence how skin looks and feels.
The skin microbiome helps support the skin’s protective barrier and maintain the balance of the skin’s surface environment. When the microbiome is supported skin is better able to maintain hydration, comfort and resilience.
Supporting the skin microbiome begins with protecting the skin’s surface environment. Choosing microbiome-focused skincare helps support the beneficial microorganisms that live on the skin and maintain its protective barrier.
Nu Allumé products are formulated for sensitive skin and designed to support the skin barrier and microbiome. During perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause skin often becomes more reactive, which is why gentle microbiome-focused formulations are important.
