Skin microbiome: a revolution in cosmetic formulation
The microbiome is the collection of microbes, such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, that naturally live on our bodies and inside us.
Every inch of our skin is covered with an infinity of bacteria: these microorganisms have a very important role for health and go to compose the so-called skin microbiome.
If balanced, this network of bacteria and microbes helps us keep the skin protected from any external aggressions, strengthening the immune system and reducing inflammation.
The presence of skin conditions such as dermatitis, acne or dryness can often be associated with an alteration of the skin microbiome.
Many cosmetic companies, therefore, have created innovative formulations, able to strengthen and nourish these bacteria, thus having a preventive or even curative action for this type of problems.
This new type of cosmetics is based on the idea that live bacilli and similar microbes should be applied to the skin: for this reason, products based on probiotics and prebiotics have been launched on the market, an important defense of the skin from stress and other external agents.
Thanks to this revolutionary cosmetic idea, you can take care of your skin with a few daily gestures.
We also have created a product that nourishes and strengthens the skin microbiome; it is the Honey & Orange Toner, made with organic orange blossom water, organic honey and fermented probiotics. It does not contain alcohol or preservatives, the good bacteria naturally preserve the product.
Gentle on the skin, it increases its hydration, promotes and nourishes the microbiome, it calms reddened skin.
