Creating the Future of Skin Health Together
There’s a New Future for Cosmetics and Personal Care Products
Cosmetics and personal care products can damage your skin’s natural defenses and cause premature aging. Behind the promise of cleansing and protection, many formulas contain harsh preservatives, aggressive exfoliants and broad-spectrum antimicrobials that don’t just remove dirt—they can damage the skin’s surface and wipe out the good microbes your skin relies on to stay healthy.
This disruption to the skin’s microbiome—the living layer of helpful bacteria, fungi and viruses—can weaken your skin barrier. Over time, that damage can lead to redness, irritation, premature aging, eczema and chronic acne. Antimicrobial ingredients like triclosan have been linked to antimicrobial resistance, hormonal problems, cancer risk, allergy issues and environmental hazards.
When your skin microbiome is disrupted, it can impact those closest to you—especially babies and children, whose microbiomes are still forming and are far more sensitive. A brush of the face or a kiss could be enough.
The beauty world is paying attention. Forward-thinking brands like Gallinée and L’Oréal are moving toward formulas that support and protect the skin’s microbiome, understanding that healthy skin starts with microbial balance. But there’s a problem: many products that say they’re “microbiome-friendly” still use old-fashioned preservatives that continue to disrupt the skin’s ecosystem.
