You may have ever heard of probiotics, but do you know what uses and benefits they have for skin health? Today we enter the world of probiotics, how they help the skin’s microbiome and the advantages they offer to those seeking to achieve radiant skin.
The skin is our border organ and on its surface, we have our first interaction with the external environment: an ecosystem formed by bacteria, fungi and viruses, called microbiome or microflora.
The skin microbiome plays a fundamental role in maintaining skin health and therefore performs several functions.
To help the microbiome perform all its functions, it is vital to keep it balanced. This is where probiotics come into play.

However, this term is very often used in a broader sense, also covering certain types of microbial preparations such as extracts and cell lysates.
In the cosmetics industry, the application of live bacteria would require enormous transformations in terms of product handling during production, storage and delivery.
That is why, unlike the food industry, live microorganisms are not used in skincare, but rather microbial preparations.
The most used probiotic in cosmetics is Lactobacillus Ferment, a probiotic technology active ingredient formed by a bacterial lysate.
Alterations in the balance of the microbiota lead to skin disorders or infections such as acne, dermatitis, inflammation, redness or xeroderma. One route to achieve and maintain this complex ecosystem in balance is through the use of probiotics.
