EPILOGY POÈME BODY OIL
It begins with a quiet radiance — fresh, measured, and serene. Aromatic florals unfold over time, creating a sense of inner light rather than an overt brilliance. At the base, vanilla, soft woody notes, and skin-close musk linger, leaving a satin warmth.
EPILOGY SEQUENCE BODY OIL
It begins with a soft fruity opening and evolves into a skin-close warmth. Powdery florals are balanced with clean musk and sheer woody notes, emitting a quiet glow that moves with the skin.
EPILOGY MOLECULE
EXTRAIT DE PARFUM The serene clarity of black tea melds with the creamy warmth of cardamom and fig. Iris and vetiver at the heart are balanced by the soft warmth of sandalwood and tonka bean at the base, creating a signature that evolves with the wearer.

Every connection we forge with our users is a part of the Epilogy experience. This ingredient glossary is designed to clarify the concepts we use and to express our promise of 'pure ingredients' with the most accurate terms. Our aim is to guide the Epilogy community with a communication style that is clear, honest, and aesthetic.
Prebiotic Actives
Definition:
A plant-derived fructooligosaccharide (FOS), typically from chicory root. It is a prebiotic fiber that nourishes the skin's microbiota.
Scientific Effect:
- Supports the growth of beneficial bacteria
- Helps maintain skin microbiome balance
- Contributes to reducing the appearance of sensitivity and irritation
Literature Basis:
- Prebiotics have been shown to have positive effects on skin barrier and microbiota balance
- They are noted to support microbial diversity, especially in atopic and sensitive skin
Usage in Epilogy Language:
“Supports the skin’s natural microbiome balance.”
Definition:
A sugar-derived prebiotic component, an energy source for beneficial bacteria on the skin's surface.
Scientific Effect:
- Helps suppress harmful bacteria
- Stabilizes skin flora
- May show a balancing effect on acne-prone skin
In Epilogy Language:
“Helps rebalance the skin's ecosystem.”
Postbiotic / Fermented Actives
Definition:
A biologically active complex obtained from the fermentation of Lactobacillus bacteria.
Scientific Effect:
- Supports skin barrier function
- Contributes to reduced TEWL (transepidermal water loss)
- Exhibits anti-inflammatory effects
Literature:
- Lactobacillus derivatives have been shown in clinical studies to strengthen the skin barrier and reduce inflammation
In Epilogy Language:
“Strengthens the skin barrier and supports its resilience.”
Definition:
A vitamin and amino acid-rich complex obtained from the fermentation of yeasts.
Scientific Effect:
- Antioxidant effect
- Evens skin tone
- Increases hydration and radiance
In Epilogy Language:
“Boosts skin radiance and moisture.”
Definition:
A fermentation product derived from Bifidobacterium.
Scientific Effect:
- Protective effect against UV-induced damage
- Supports DNA repair mechanisms
- Reduces skin sensitivity
Literature:
- Studies show it accelerates skin recovery after UV damage
In Epilogy Language:
“Helps protect the skin from environmental stressors.”
Microbiome Supporting Systems
Definition:
Systems that regulate skin flora through combinations of prebiotics + postbiotics.
Scientific Effect:
- Reduces dysbiosis (microbial imbalance)
- Indirect improvement in acne, sensitivity, and redness
- Strengthening of barrier function
In Epilogy Language:
“Balances the skin's ecosystem for a healthier-looking complexion.”
Epilogy Core Terms
Definition:
Highly bioavailable actives obtained through biotechnological fermentation.
Usage:
“Enhanced with fermented biotechnological active ingredients.”
Definition:
The balance of microorganisms on the skin's surface.
Usage:
“Designed to support epidermal microbiome balance.”
Definition:
A formulation approach that acts according to the needs of the skin barrier.
Usage:
“Adapts to support the skin barrier.”
Definition:
Actives that are more easily absorbed and utilized by the skin.
Usage:
“Increased bioavailability to ensure optimal interaction with the skin.”
