The human skin microbiome comprises over 1,000 bacterial species, with populations varying between 10⁴ to 10⁶ microorganisms per square centimeter. Maintaining this delicate ecosystem requires precise prebiotic concentrations—recent studies show that variations as small as 0.01% in oligosaccharide levels can significantly impact microbial diversity and colonization patterns.

The fundamental challenge lies in formulating prebiotic components that selectively nourish beneficial bacteria while avoiding stimulation of potentially harmful microorganisms.

This page brings together solutions from recent research—including specialized fructo-oligosaccharide formulations, synergistic inulin-based compositions, fermentation substrate systems, and targeted fatty acid approaches. These and other approaches focus on maintaining skin barrier function while promoting a balanced microbiome through precise prebiotic delivery mechanisms.
