Genomics for Cosmetics
Genomics, and above all metagenomics, constitute the sharpest method for studying interaction between skin and its microbiota, and analysis the entirety of the microorganism communities present on the epidermis.
Advances in science allow us to explore the genes and molecular interactions that influence the health and appearance of our skin.
Explore the genomic solutions that are transforming the way we understand and treat dermatological needs, opening up new innovations for Beauty Care and strong assets for new products development.
Applications of genomics for skincare
Genomics provides breakthrough innovation and technological inputs in the cosmetics and skin care sector :
Microbiome
- Skin microbiome impact studies of dermocosmetics product or active ingredient
- Clinical studies in dermatology to measure treatments effects on skin diseases
- Analysis of dysbiosis in the microbiota of interest
- Virulent strains genomic characterization of certain bacterial or fungal species of interest
Science added-value
- Claim substantiation and scientific added-value for new dermocosmetics products, formulations, active ingredients.
- Prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics evaluation to assess their efficiency
- Nutricosmetics and Cosmeceuticals assay through gut-skin axis study
Industry
- Optimized production processes for cosmetic ingredients (biotechnology and fermenters)
- Quality control, microbiological monitoring and contaminants detection in Cosmetics production processes
