he skincare industry has thrown us everything from serums and scrubs to LED face masks and microneedling tools that promise a spa-level experience at home.

They've given us jade rollers, sheet masks, snail mucin, gels, creams, retinols and serums, foams and chemical peels, but have you ever considered enhancing your routine from the inside out with a beauty edible?

A beauty edible is exactly as its name suggests - it's a beauty supplement (in liquid, tablet, gummy or powder form) that can be ingested to help with beauty concerns relating to skin, hair and nail health.

Beauty edibles can deliver results, but their effectiveness varies based on the ingredients, the quality of the product and individual factors like diet, lifestyle and skin type.

What is edible beauty?

Edible beauty refers to the concept of consuming foods, beverages and supplements that are specifically designed to improve skin health, enhance physical appearance, and promote overall wellness.

Unlike traditional topical skincare products, edible beauty products focus on nourishing the body internally, under the belief that beauty starts from within.

Common edible beauty ingredients include:

  • Collagen to support skin elasticity, hair, nail and joint health.
  • Antioxidants like Vitamin C and E to protect the skin from oxidative stress - which is when your body has too many harmful molecules (free radicals) and not enough defenses (antioxidants).
  • Probiotics and prebiotics to support gut health, which is increasingly linked to skin health.
  • Hyaluronic acid for skin hydration.
