Interest in maintaining a healthy balance of beneficial and less-beneficial bacteria has expanded beyond digestion, leading to growing attention on the relationship between the microbiome and skin wellness. Research suggests that certain topical probiotics, sometimes described as beneficial bacteria, may help support the skin’s natural barrier and microbiome. These factors can contribute to healthy-looking skin.
In skincare formulations, probiotic based ingredients may help support overall skin comfort, promote a balanced skin environment, and support the appearance of calm, resilient-looking skin.
