Title: The Skin-Microbiome and the Influence of Cosmetics, Hygiene Products and Detergents

Language: English

Abstract: The microbiome is a topic that is here to stay. The cosmetics and personal care industry knows that healthy skin relies on a healthy microbiome. Since the knowledge around the microbiome is still very scarce, claiming around this topic must be made with caution and meaningful data. We are summarizing the actual status of research and how the industry can work alongside the microbiome.

The skin microbiome is influenced by manifold factors. Besides our genetics, the lifestyle, diet and environment is influencing our microbiome. Products we use daily should respect our bodies microbes and be as mild as possible. This is true for cosmetics and personal care products as well as for hygiene products and detergents. We offer a solution on sustainable microbiome-claiming in this area.
