Why the skin microbiome?

Microbiome refers to the collection of microbes - i.e. bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc. - that live in or on human cells.

The food industry has long been marketing products - yoghurts, drinks - with claims that they can balance or promote healthy gut bacteria.

Now this trend, on the back of increasing research into the diversity of the microbiome of the skin, has begun moving into skin care in a serious way.

New brands like Gallinée and JooMo are leading the charge in responding to the potential, and big name manufacturers including Unilever and Johnson & Johnson have been investing into research.
