ethyos - Imperfection Peau
Daily support for skin-focused wellness
This formula is designed for people who want to support skin appearance and overall skin comfort from within. It combines targeted micronutrients with plant extracts traditionally used in skin-oriented routines. The approach is supportive and intended to complement a balanced diet and consistent skincare habits.
Zinc is included as zinc citrate to provide 10 mg of elemental zinc, a key nutrient for normal skin maintenance. Vitamins C and E add antioxidant nutrients that help protect cells from oxidative stress. Together, these nutrients form the core of the skin and antioxidant profile.
Botanical extracts commonly used in blemish-prone routines
Burdock (root) and wild pansy (aerial parts) are provided as dry extracts (5:1), concentrating plant constituents compared with raw plant material. These botanicals are frequently used in traditional European herbal practices for skin-focused programs. They are included here to complement the mineral and vitamin base with plant-derived support.
Nettle (leaf) is supplied as a 10:1 dry extract and is standardized to 1% silicon. This adds a defined level of silicon-related compounds while keeping the formula plant-forward. Nettle is often used in wellness routines that emphasize seasonal balance and general “purifying” support.
Antioxidant nutrients for everyday environmental stress
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and vitamin E (DL-alpha-tocopheryl acetate) work as complementary antioxidants in the body. Vitamin C also contributes to normal collagen formation for normal skin function. This combination supports a daily routine where oxidative stress management is a practical goal.
Spirulina powder adds a nutrient-dense algae ingredient that naturally contains pigments and other compounds associated with antioxidant activity. While spirulina is not standardized here, it can broaden the overall micronutrient and phytonutrient profile. This makes it a supportive addition rather than the primary driver of the formula.
Nutrients that complement the skin focus
Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) is included to support normal energy metabolism, which can be relevant for overall vitality. Vitamin D (cholecalciferol) is present in a measured microgram dose and contributes to normal immune function. These nutrients broaden the formula beyond skin-only positioning without changing its main focus.
The blend is designed to be taken consistently, as nutritional and botanical support typically aligns with regular use. Benefits are intended to be subtle and supportive rather than immediate. Individual responses can vary depending on diet, lifestyle, and baseline nutrient status.
How the ingredients fit together
The formula pairs zinc with vitamins C and E to support normal skin maintenance and antioxidant protection. Botanical extracts (burdock, wild pansy, nettle) add traditional plant support often used in skin-clarity routines. Spirulina complements the overall profile with additional naturally occurring compounds.
This multi-ingredient approach is intended to support several related wellness angles: skin appearance, antioxidant balance, and general daily resilience. It is not intended to replace medical care or targeted dermatological treatment. For best results, it can be paired with adequate hydration, sleep, and a balanced diet.

Voordelen
Skin Health
Designed for people looking to support clearer-looking skin and overall skin balance as part of a daily routine. Zinc (from zinc citrate) contributes to normal skin maintenance, while burdock and wild pansy extracts are traditionally used in skin-focused botanical formulas. Vitamin C and vitamin E complement the formula by supporting normal collagen formation and helping protect cells from oxidative stress.
Antioxidant Support
Suitable for daily antioxidant support when lifestyle factors (pollution, stress, sun exposure) increase oxidative load. Vitamin C and vitamin E provide direct antioxidant nutrients, and spirulina adds naturally occurring antioxidant compounds. Nettle extract further complements the blend with plant-based phytonutrients.
Detox Support
Can be used as a gentle, wellness-oriented “purifying” support alongside hydration and a balanced diet. Burdock root and wild pansy are commonly included in traditional herbal routines aimed at supporting the body’s normal elimination processes. Nettle leaf extract is also frequently used in botanical blends positioned for seasonal or lifestyle “reset” periods.
Energy Metabolism
Helpful as a supportive nutrient base for everyday energy-yielding metabolism. Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) contributes to normal energy metabolism, and vitamin C supports normal energy-yielding metabolism and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue. Spirulina powder can complement the formula with additional micronutrients, though it is not a primary energy ingredient here.
Immune Support
May be used for general immune system maintenance as part of a broader wellness plan. Vitamin D and vitamin C contribute to normal immune function, and zinc supports normal immune function as well. This benefit is secondary in the formula compared with the skin-focused positioning.
