HOW MANY MICROBES EXIST ON MY SKIN?
There are more microbes in the human body — a number estimated to be in the trillions — than there are stars in the Milky Way.
THE SKIN
MICROBIOME BALANCE
An unbalanced microbiome is due to a lack of diversity of different bacteria species/strains on the skin.
This lack of diversity is common to acne-prone skin and eczema-prone skin.
This lack of diversity is common to acne-prone skin and eczema-prone skin.
By restoring the diversity of the bacteria on the skin, the microbiome is healthier, correlating to healthier skin overall. This microbiome acts as a natural healer and protector by forming an invisible shield against external aggressors.
DISCOVER AQUA POSAE
OUR PATENTED PREBIOTIC INGREDIENT:
Microbiome science has been at the core of our research in recent years. As a result, we developed a new active ingredient called Aqua Posae, a delicate strain that grows in our thermal water. Once introduced in our formulas the results were beyond our expectations: The microbiome was rebalanced.
At La Roche-Posay we have always pushed the boundaries of what is possible in skincare.
For nearly the past 10 years we have focused our energy on this new field of research, Microbiome Science.
It has really changed our approach to skincare.
Traditionally skincare was designed to correct the visible signs of skin conditions.
But what we have learned through our studies on the microbiome is that there is this invisible ecosystem of bacteria living on your skin.
And the balance between these different species play a vital function to your health.
We could see a direct correlation:
If your microbiome ecosystem was balanced your skin was healthier.
If unbalanced, problems would appears stronger.
So we thought, what if we could find a way to rebalance this microbiome, to find a better outcome.
Working with our laboratories on Microbiome Science to develop a new type of ingredient.
A delicate strain grown on our thermal water.
A powerful prebiotic. We call it Aqua Posae.
“You see here the original strain, stored at -80c. Grown on thermal water, and it is contently monitored for 24/7. We then condition it so that it can be placed in our product at the right concentration. This process is patented and totally unique.”
Once in our product the results were beyond our expectation:
The microbiome was rebalancing, and staying balanced.
Signs of skin conditions dramatically decreased, and skin stayed healthy.
At La Roche-Posay our mission is to provide life changing dermatology for those with sensitive skin.
We believe our Microbiome Science is the change the industry needs and we are excited to lead it that change.
