PrebioSens

The natural protection for a healthy skin microbiome

The microbial balance on our skin is crucial for its health and protective function. However, this "microbiome," also known as the skin flora, is exposed daily to a multitude of external influences that can disrupt it. For instance:

• frequent washing,
• air pollution,
• unhealthy diet,
• stress,
• antibiotics,
• or improper skincare
  

can impair our skin's acid mantle as well as the microorganisms living within it. This also harms the integrity of our skin barrier and can lead to irritation or even infections, as harmful organisms have an easier time penetrating the skin.

However, there are substances that specifically promote beneficial microorganisms while simultaneously offering less space for harmful ones. By using such active ingredients, the balance of the skin microbiome can be shifted in favor of "good" bacteria, which strengthens skin health and makes it more resilient to external influences. The result is healthy skin, more comfort, and a more beautiful complexion.

PrebioSens targets exactly this and is a natural, innovative cosmetic active ingredient specifically developed to strengthen the skin microbiome. It consists of special saccharides (plant-based inulin and alpha-glucans) and acts as valuable "food" for the beneficial bacteria on the skin's surface. By specifically supporting these microorganisms, PrebioSens promotes a healthy skin environment, which leads to the maintenance of a stable balance.

PrebioSens can be used in many ways and is suitable for both leave-on products such as creams and lotions and for rinse-off products such as shampoos, shower gels, or intimate wash gels. In hair care products, it adheres to the hair, providing a gentle smoothing and conditioning effect, and has a positive impact on the scalp microbiome.

In skincare products, it optimally unfolds its effect as "bacterial food," while also binding moisture and protecting the skin from dehydration. Of particular note is its mild yet efficient effect in baby care, especially in protective creams for the diaper area, to prevent diaper rash.

In surfactant formulations, it reduces the harshness of washing-active substances and preserves skin moisture. Especially interesting is its effect in wash lotions for the female intimate area. Here, PrebioSens can counteract an imbalance in the microbiome and thus reduce or prevent complaints such as irritation or itching.

Due to its moisturizing and balancing properties, PrebioSens is the ideal active ingredient for sensitive skin and for soothing formulations. By promoting a healthy microbiome, however, it is an interesting ingredient for all skin types and a multitude of cosmetic and personal care products.
