Balancing the Body's Skin and Oral Ecosystems with Pre- and Probiotics

Balancing the Body's Skin and Oral Ecosystems with Pre- and Probiotics

The Role of Probiotics in Oral Care: There is now a strong base of scientific research indicating probiotics are not just for gut health anymore. One particular area of recent scientific interest for probiotics use involves the emerging oral-health segment, where the wellness model emphasizes the far reaching benefits of maintaining good oral health throughout life.

The Role of Pre- and Probiotics in Skin Care: Skin's exposure to rapidly changing external influences has a profound effect on its microbiological ecology. More often, skin products are designed to hide faults or to have a non-selective surface kill, which may not be conducive with good skin, and this is where pre- and probiotics come into play.

A New Generation Skin and Oral Care: Pre- and probiotics may be the new generation of ingredients for skin and oral care. And although these bacteria and carbohydrates are still emerging ingredients for skin/oral care products, major players in the beauty space have already launched probiotic-based products.
