MICROBIOME 

What is the microbiome?

The microbiome is the collection of all microbes, such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, and their genes, that naturally live on our bodies and inside us. They cooperatively help the immune system to fight harmful pathogenic microbes.

How does a balanced skin microbiome contribute?

There is a prevailing impression that the skin barrier acts as the skin's only protective shield. Actually, the combination of the skin barrier with a balanced microbiome contributes to adequate skin protection. Therefore, a balanced microbiome effectively shields and protects the skin, making it less vulnerable to internal and external attacks.

How is the skin microbiome disrupted?

The balance of the skin microbiome is highly delicate and can be easily disturbed by a variety of factors such as:

• Excessive cleaning and/or cleansing with inappropriate products
• Environmental conditions such as pollutants, contamination
• Ultraviolet solar radiation

Disruption of the skin microbiome is associated with an increased risk of skin problems, the most common of which are:

• Irritations
• Dryness
• Peeling
• Itching
• Redness

To enhance the beneficial microorganisms and balance the skin microbiome, effectively achieved through probiotics and prebiotics.

• The Probiotics are live non-pathogenic microorganisms that have a beneficial effect on the skin microbiome and thus on human skin health.

• The Prebiotics are nutrients that serve as food selectively only for beneficial microorganisms, thus 'empowering' them concerning harmful microorganisms while balancing the skin microbiome.

PHARMASEPT & MICROBIOME

PHARMASEPT, aiming to strengthen and balance the microbiome, enriches its already specialized formulas with the powerful prebiotic agent Biolin. The Biolin consists of glycoligosaccharides, and inulin enhances the growth of beneficial skin microorganisms without stimulating harmful ones.

This way ensures that the ecosystem of the billions of microorganisms that inhabit our skin is balanced.
