In skincare all the superfluous 'unless' (except for) what is akin to our health, as well as to the environment, goes away. Beauty care becomes minimalist and the new serums that

act like yoghurt for the intestine

or the

pre and probiotics

that aim to 'pamper' our skin microbiome have become the most coveted ingredients of 2021.


Beauty products, in particular those for facial skin care are not only more and more plant-based and certified organic but

are enriched with 'vital' ingredients such as probiotics and prebiotics (the former bacteria, the latter derivatives) that enhance our microbiome (genetic heritage of the population of microorganisms that live colonized on our skin and participate in defending it)

.

The message now is to treat your skin with very few substances, natural, friendly and effective on the skin.

Pre / probiotic skincare started on the sly before the pandemic and even scared some,

now it's super trend

and even promoted by consumers, as well as science.


What is the microbiome and what does the skin have to do with it?


The skin has its own microbiome: a living ecosystem made up of beneficial microorganisms, an integral part of the skin surface, mainly composed of bacteria.

After decades of research and studies on these microorganisms, we now know that these bacteria are not only beneficial - they are essential for the health and appearance of our skin.

As surprising as it may seem, our bodies contain 50% human cells - and 50% bacterial cells.

Our microbiome is unique, like DNA or a fingerprint.

The microbiome lives in symbiosis with us, it is a gift we receive from our mother at birth - and it evolves over the course of our life.

By the time we reach adulthood, our microbiome contains up to 1000 species of bacteria, with up to 2 million of these present in every 2cm2 of skin.

An integral part of the skin's surface, our skin microbiome is invisible but powerful, and contributes to 3 main skin functions: · Protect: These beneficial microorganisms form the first line of defense between our skin and the external environment.

The microbiome helps the skin to defend itself from pathogens and releases antioxidant proteins helping to strengthen the skin's defenses.


Beauty and pre / probiotics


aim at the essential and less frills (clean beauty), at the 'unless' concept (except that) and therefore at the choice of substances with visible results from different brands, from the giants of cosmetics to ultra-specialized niche brands.

What science says


In May 2018, the Swiss giant Givaudan which produces perfumes and fragrances (and probiotic serums) for major cosmetic companies, interviewed more than 1,500 female consumers and found that 8% "were concerned about the skin microbiota. ".

After the pandemic, this number jumped to 27% in a survey of over 3,900 female consumers.

This by no means means that they hate the microbiota, “on the contrary, they worry so much that the same study shows that 43% of people reported that they worry more about microorganisms than before COVID-19.

In addition, about 52% said they think, "it is useful to use cosmetic products to take care of the skin microbiota", compared to 30% in 2018 "explains Rachel Grabenhofer, in the new issue of Cosmetics & Toiletries Science Applied which dedicates a focus.

Grabenhofer also points out that, in the face of such growing interest, there are also new 'Microbiome-friendly' certifications but these are mostly slogans and brands created by the manufacturers themselves.


While looking for authoritative certifications, probiotics smeared on the skin seem to really work.

A recent study conducted at the Sorbonne Université in Paris on topical creams containing Lactobacillus reuteri (intestinal microbiota) spread on the forearm of a sample of volunteers.

The authors wanted to see the true impact of a probiotic on the diversity of the skin's natural bacterial community.

Well, probiotics work in the cure period (which lasted 15 days).

The effect over time is reversible - reads the survey published in Microorganisms - but during the treatment period these really protect the good bacteria in our body.

Then, day by day from the last application, the 'colonization' rate decreases because the 'indigenous' microorganisms start to prevail again.

The news, however, is that “this new category of skin products has potential health benefits because they interact with the microbiota.
