What are probiotics?
Probiotics are live microorganisms, including bacteria and yeasts, that offer health benefits when consumed or applied to the body. They are often referred to as “good” or “helpful” bacteria because they contribute to the body’s overall well-being, particularly by improving or restoring the gut microbiota. Probiotics can be found in dietary supplements, fermented foods and drinks, and even in topical products for skin application. They play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy digestive system, reducing inflammation, and ensuring the skin health. Stress and dietary choices can negatively affect the microbiome, and probiotics serve as a means to help restore its balance 1.
Where are probiotics found?
Live microorganisms are found in probiotic foods or supplements, which are intended to help maintain or improve a healthy balance between “good” bacteria and “bad” bacteria in the body. In humans, prebiotic foods (typically high-fiber foods) provide food for our microbiota. By using prebiotics, these microorganisms will be better balanced. Probiotics are in foods such as yogurt and sauerkraut. The following foods contain prebiotics: whole grains, bananas, greens, onions, garlic, soybeans, and artichokes. In addition, probiotics and prebiotics are added to some foods and available as dietary supplements. Some skincare products that are microbiome friendly for the skin’s microbiota may contain probiotic particles.
What is probiotic lysate?
A lysate is a concentrated dose of probiotic function that contains all the components of the bacteria cells (soluble and insoluble) 2,3. Bacterial lysate contains “bio-active” molecules or metabolites that reportedly retain beauty benefits without the presence of whole or live bacteria 4.
Do skincare products contain probiotic lysates?
Only Few science-based skincare products contain probiotic lysates. Microbiome friendly products are innovative and a novel concept that demands many years of investigation and research. Probiotics are also known to help balance the skin’s microbiome, which helps to keep the skin healthy.
Probiotic lysates are effective due to their beneficial bacterial components, which can help to reduce inflammation, moisturize the skin, and fight bacteria that can cause breakouts. Probiotic lysates help nourish and protect the skin, and are said to reduce signs of aging. The lysates also help to deliver nutrients to the skin, which can help to keep it looking youthful and healthy. SOÀLANGÉ products offers a complete care for both skin and its microbiome. The Cell Lysate approach alongside nourishing ingredients creates the environment to restore microbial diversity & balancing out the harmful effects of modern life.
