Iota’s Nutritional Take on Body Care

Skincare’s Overachieving Little Sister?

When was the last time you truly thought about the health of your body’s skin—not just how it looks, but how it functions? If you’re in the beauty industry, you already know that skin health is a hot topic, but it’s often confined to face care. Iota is here to change that with a mission that’s making consumers take notice.


Skin Health is Health

For too long, body care has lived in the shadows of skincare. It’s been about basic hydration or indulgent scents, but rarely about addressing the root of skin concerns. Iota is flipping the script with Nutritional Bodycare, a philosophy that positions body care as essential for whole-body wellness.


At the heart of Iota’s approach is the skin microbiome. This trillion-strong ecosystem of microorganisms is the first line of defense against skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and acne. But its role goes beyond skin—it impacts overall health, with studies linking poor skin health to issues like inflammation, autoimmune diseases, and even cardiovascular risk.


The brand’s co-founder, Monique, puts it perfectly: “Skin health is arguably the pillar of health most overlooked today. Just like sleep, eating right, and exercise, it’s essential for whole-body health.”


What Makes Iota Different?

Iota’s products are built on a twofold approach:

  1. Microbiome Support: A proprietary blend of prebiotics and postbiotics helps balance and nourish the microbiome, addressing issues at their source rather than treating symptoms after they appear.

  2. Multivitamins + Active Botanicals: Ingredients like niacinamide, peptides, and dragonfruit are curated for their ability to boost hydration, elasticity, and radiance—delivering face-grade care for the body.


It’s science-forward without feeling clinical, blending effectiveness with elegance.

The Hero Lineup

If you haven’t already been introduced to Iota’s standout products, here’s what you need to know:

  • Supercloud Body Serum+: Lightweight but powerful, this daily treatment hydrates, smooths, and restores skin’s glow. With dragonfruit, copper peptides, and a powder blue hue from Japanese indigo, it’s as much a pleasure to use as it is effective.

  • Superchili Body Mask+: A spicy innovation featuring Sichuan pepper and green coffee beans, this leave-on mask visibly tightens and firms while addressing cellulite and texture.

  • Supermatcha Body Lotion+: A matcha-powered antioxidant-packed lotion that firms and smooths with rambutan, snow mushroom, and caffeine for long-lasting hydration.

  • Supervitamin Body Wash+: This Allure award-winner is packed with vitamins and adaptogens to cleanse while calming stressed skin.


Sustainability Meets Science

Of course, no modern brand can ignore its environmental footprint, and Iota is no exception. Their sustainability efforts are impressive, with Climate Neutral and Plastic Negative certifications, sustainable packaging, and partnerships that support global waste reduction projects.


But it’s not just about checking boxes. From their use of bio-resin bottles to their support of Project Neela Sapana in India (which removes low-value plastics from the environment), Iota is as intentional about its impact on the planet as it is about the health of its customers.

Iota is One to Watch

Iota is carving out a new category—one that treats body care with the same science-backed rigor and respect as skincare. This shift represents not only an exciting opportunity but also a challenge to rethink how we approach wellness from head to toe.


So, if you haven’t already, it’s time to take a closer look at Iota. Because as they remind us:“Skin health is health.”
