The skin serves as the first line of interaction with the external environment and as a defence mechanism against the physical, chemical, or biological stresses and challenges it encounters. The skin microbiota plays a key role in these interactions and defence functions. Formerly known as "skin flora", it colonises every square centimetre of the skin. Its role is fundamental to both skin health and the overall well-being of the body. What are the factors that influence its composition, and what disrupts its functions?

EFSA stands for the European Food Safety Authority. It is essentially the scientific supervisor of the European Union when it comes to food.
EFSA’s purpose is to ensure that the food Europeans eat is safe and meets high quality standards.
To do so, they provide objective and unbiased scientific assessment of food-related risks.

The cutaneous microbiota has become a subject of interest for the nutri-cosmetics, dermo-cosmetics and beauty industries. New products have been launched that claim to respect the skin's microbiota, as well as skincare products containing a new category of active ingredients - pre-, pro- and post-biotics - designed to protect, rebalance or maintain its equilibrium. These innovations have been made possible by significant scientific and technological advances in the study of microbiota.

The skin microbiota plays a vital role in maintaining the skin's integrity and functionality. It contributes to the proper regulation of organisms and organs, allowing the skin to perform its essential functions, including acting as a barrier.
