Fighting maskne

Acne caused by wearing masks, so-called “maskne”, is the new challenge that the cosmetics industry has to face. Michel Salmon explains what role a 3D model of the skin can play when it comes to finding the right active ingredient and the right dose for the next skin care product.

Strategies for the skin microbiome

The microbiome is a relatively new topic in cosmetics that still lacks uniform standards and definitions. This article focuses on three cosmetic active ingredients that target the microbiome with different strategies: “Prebiotics”, “biofilm control” and “natural antimicrobial agents”.

Skin care and holistic well-being

Nowadays, when unnecessary contact and thus touch should be avoided, body care products not only promise healthy skin but also want to ensure more well-being thanks to a new approach. Leyre Cueva explains how sensocosmetics works and what it can do.

Skin in balance

The skin microbiome is usually so stable that it is not immediately unbalanced by external influences. It is therefore worth taking a closer look at which factors play a role in a healthy microbiome and how they can have a positive effect.
