At Salvida, we uphold our Skin-Friendly Promise, backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Your Bodyguard questions, answered.
If you have sensitive or eczema-prone skin, daily care matters – not just during flare-ups. We formulated Bodyguard for everyday use as part of a moisturising routine to support compromised skin. It delivers long-lasting hydration to keep your skin nourished and resilient, even when it looks its best.
The pre and postbiotics in Bodyguard are designed to help rebalance the skin microbiome – encouraging beneficial bacteria and reducing the overgrowth of harmful microbes. The goal? To help your skin regain its natural equilibrium and reduce the frequency of flare-ups over time.
If you are looking to support a specific skin condition please visit our Routines page.
Every product in the Salvida range serves a distinct function.
With Bodyguard, we wanted to go beyond hydration and create a product that actively rebalances out-of-sync skin while strengthening its natural defences.
That’s why we included a trio of clinically proven pre/postbiotics - Polymnia Sonchifolia Root Juice, Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide and Lactobacillus - which support your skin’s microbiome by boosting good bacteria, nourishing beneficial microbes and reinforcing the skin’s natural barrier.
Most brands claiming to use probiotics in skincare are bending the truth. The "pro" in probiotics means living organisms, yet genuine probiotics are rarely used in skincare due to their incompatibility with other ingredients and strict storage and transit requirements.
In reality, most so-called "probiotic" skincare actually contains prebiotics or postbiotics.
Scientifically, the ideal formulation shouldn't contain live microbes but rather fragmented bacterial components (called "lysates"). These lysates activate positive changes in your skin - not whole bacteria, which would die long before they reached your skin.
Live bacteria can't survive in skincare products. Many ingredients, particularly preservatives, are designed to kill microbes - including any "good" bacteria. Additionally, packaging can hinder bacterial survival -oxygen exposure can kill strains like Bifidobacterium.
That’s why we use clinically proven pre and postbiotics in Bodyguard, delivering all the microbiome-boosting benefits without the instability of live probiotics.
