Holobiosys®: Rebalancing Skin Holobiont for Hydration & Optimal Lipids

In the realm of personal care formulation, the quest for effective, organic ingredients that deliver tangible results is paramount. Enter Holobiosys® BIO from Greentech, a COSMOS-certified organic, upcycled, and microbiota-friendly active ingredient that is revolutionising skincare regimes. 

We are pleased to share that Greentech have recently had a publication on the benefits of Holobiosys® which can be viewed by clicking the button below. Holobiont Rebalancing by a Natural Gentian Extract on a Skin Dehydration Model discusses how human skin is partly maintained by a complex microscopic ecosystem known as the microbiota. Together, the skin host and microbiota form a synergistic evolutionary unit referred to as ‘skin holobiont’, which can be modulated by various stresses.

By extracting organic wild yellow gentian roots enhanced through fermentation of a rare and resistant bacterium, Sphingomonas faeni, a cosmetic active ingredient was developed to rebalance the holobiont functions as well as hydric and lipidic skin content. 

Gentian-fermented extract (GFE) boosts hyaluronic acid (HA) biosynthesis in vitro, stimulates the HA receptor, CD44, and allows water storage and retention through its signaling cascade by epidermal reinforcement. GFE rebalances the skin holobiont for a reinforced and rehydrated skin with optimal lipid content.

In addition to its hydrating properties, Holobiosys® also boasts remarkable anti-aging benefits.

By stimulating dermal-epidermal junction markers expression, Holobiosys® facilitates better diffusion of water bound to HA within the skin, effectively smoothing wrinkles and fine lines.
