Malaysian cosmeceutical brand B&B Labs has updated its signature microbiome complex with prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics and plans to steadily expand it to other products in its range
Singapore-based skin care brand Sigi Skin has launched its first-ever serum with prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics to follow up on the success it had with its probiotic sheet mask.
The anti-dandruff hair care category has long focused on antibacterial formulations, but microbiome-friendly blends that promote scalp bacteria balance may be as effective, says the founder of French indie brand Gallinée.
The pandemic’s relentless push to digital retail and even mask wearing have helped online probiotic cosmetic products more than double in two years across 25 countries tracked by Lumina Intelligence.
Colgate-Palmolive’s Sanex brand has developed a shower gel, bath foam and deodorant range using pre and postbiotics to support the skin’s microbiome, launched following five years of R&D efforts and input from external dermatology and science experts.

Processed probiotics are widely used in beauty products to target the skin microbiome, but few formulations contain live bacteria strains – a concept experts say is interesting from a marketing perspective but complicated to do.
Direct-to-consumer skin care brand Symbiome will debut a product range formulated with postbiotics sourced from plants from the Brazilian Amazon, aimed at restoring and rebuilding resilience in the modern microbiome.
The postbiotic LactoSporin has been found to have the same efficacy for treating mild to moderate acne as the conventional medication benzoyl peroxide.
