Title: The Photobiome Factor: a New Role of Skin Microbiota in Photoageing

Language: German

Abstract: Solar radiation negatively impacts on skin microbiota. Did you know that a photodamaged microbiota negatively contributes to the skin photoageing process?
Vytrus Biotech has unveiled a new microbiota pathway to fight the skin photoageing process: the new active ingredient PHOTOBIOME™, a novel category of Microbial Antioxidant.
This is a 100% natural active inspired by nature that helps the microbiota photoprotect itself and release its own natural photo-defense molecules to counterattack skin photodamage.
PHOTOBIOME™ is a prebiotic ingredient that modulates bacteria metabolism and stimulates them to produce photo-defense molecules that are beneficial for the skin cells. The active counteracts and protects the microbiota and the skin cells from the photo-oxidative stress of the harmful sun radiation.

PHOTOBIOME™ is derived from plant stem cells (a blended of Pomegranate and Cotton). The active improves the signs of the photoageing process on the skin by photoprotecting the microbiota for the first time in cosmetics. It involves a new paradigm in the suncare and well-ageing markets and a step forward in the microbiota field through new scientific concepts:
The new Sun-Microbiota-Skin axis

The discovery of the Photobiome Factor
A new category of Microbial antioxidant to photoprotect and photorepair: fighting microbial-induced photoageing process.
This new category of biotechnology-based active ingredients offers cosmetic formulations new pathways to protect and repair skin photodamage with a sustainable solution based on plant biotechnology.
