We have built one of the largest libraries of information for formulators, brands, and microbiome enthusiasts to navigate the complex and evolving landscape of microbiome science.
Most cosmetic brands want the same thing: faster launches, lower costs and stronger claims. But there is a costly mistake: choosing the cheapest available test and expecting it to support the biggest possible promise. The problem is not cheap testing. It is expecting evidence built for screening to prove outcomes it was never designed to measure.
Introduction In the personal care industry, developing products that target or affect the skin, scalp, vaginal, and oral microbiome requires robust scientific validation that meets both biological and regulatory standards. While in vitro (laboratory) testing provides valuable preliminary data, they cannot fully replicate the complex interactions occurring in the human body. Clinical testing in human subjects on the other hand captures the dynamic interactions between microbi
