Our Probiotic Strains

The following peer-reviewed research shows that probiotic strains Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei and Bifidobacterium longum are cosmetically beneficial to human skin (e.g. appearance, hydration) when applied topically.

Applications of Probiotic Constituents in Cosmetics

September 2023 - University-Industry Collaborative Review

School of Bioengineering, Qilu University of Technology

(Jinan, China)
Huaxi Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

(Jinan, China)

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10574390

This 2023 university-led review shows that, in human studies, topical application of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Bifidobacterium longum enhances skin hydration and appearance in a variety of ways, with some improvements increasing when the strains are postbiotic (heat-killed). Topical application of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei lysate is shown to enhance skin appearance in vitro.

Effects of a Lotion containing Probiotic Ferment Lysate as the Main Functional Ingredient on Enhancing Skin Barrier

October 2023 - Industry-Sponsored Clinical Trial with University Collaboration

This 2023 randomized, self-controlled study shows that topical application of a lotion containing (as the main functional ingredient) a mix of lysates (postbiotics) including Lacticaseibacillus paracasei and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum increases skin hydration by 26.6% and reduces transepidermal water loss by 26.8% in healthy adults over 30 days.

Probiotics in Cosmetic and Personal Care Products: Trends and Challenges

February 2021 - Academic Review

This 2021 academic review from University of Western Ontario shows that, in human studies, topical application of Bifidobacterium longum in lysate (postbiotic) form enhances skin appearance and hydration.

Our Philosophy

Integrity in Marketing

As a manufacturer of cosmetics, PROBIOTIC SKINCARE may reference published research on the cosmetic benefits of our ingredients, but we do not make therapeutic or health claims regarding our products.

Although our products are not pasteurized (heat-killed), we do not guarantee our probiotics to be "live" or "active" at the time of purchase because:

As with most products containing probiotics, "live" cell counts may diminish over shelf life.

Our gentle, waterless formula is designed to preserve probiotics in a dormant (rathar than an "active") state.

We list whole-cell counts (minimums) because studies show that our selected strains provide cosmetic benefits not only when live/active, but also as postbiotics (no longer "live" or "active").
