7 – Diverse skin is healthy skin: Shiseido study finds that sensitive skin lacks biodiversity in skin microbiome
In September, a research study by Japanese cosmetics powerhouse Shiseido determined that sensitive skin has a less diverse biodiversity compared to less sensitive skin.
The maker of SHISIEDO, Anessa and Clé de Peau Beauté said it had been working to develop technology that can balance the microbiome, which it considers key to healthy skin.
Driven by new technological innovations, the company claimed that it had established a method to obtain stable results on the skin microbiome and conduct new research on the topic.
This particular research focused on the relation on skin microbiome diversity and skin sensitivity, an increasingly important concern among beauty consumers.
