When nature meets high-tech science in a lab, biotechnology is created. Biotech skincare creates active ingredients in the lab using sophisticated bio-fermentation, combining microorganisms and labcreated microbes such as yeast and bacteria.
Here’s why it matters: Biotech is good for the environment. The active ingredients are sustainably sourced as land and water don’t have to be set aside for growing plants.
This type of technology allows active ingredients to work in harmony with the skin naturally. Why? Because the skin is a host to a community of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms, known as a microbiome. Microbes (the microorganisms that cause fermentation) interact with the microbiome to keep it in balance.
Its main functions are to protect skin against environmental damage from harmful microorganisms known as pathogens, support and strengthen the skin barrier by producing fatty acids and lipids to nourish skin, and communicate with the body’s immune system.
Keeping these microbes happy and healthy will result in good skin – and biotech skincare recreates the microorganisms that do that.
