The use of Synbio® products for skin cleansing and care offers, in addition to a good cleansing effect, the following scientifically proven benefits:
Reduced risk of bad germs and infections
Studies at the universities of Ghent (Belgium) and Ferrara (Italy) have shown that the use of synbiotic products reduces the risk of the presence of germs and therefore also a lower number of infections. As indicated earlier, the high numbers of probiotics and prebiotics ensure a healthy microbiome, which does not cause infections.

Anti-inflammatory
Many skin problems such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis have to do with an inflammatory reaction (inflammation) of the skin as a result of an allergy, infection, or underlying condition. Research in the USA (North Carolina) has shown that Synbio® products on the skin reduce the inflammatory response. In particular, the production of IL-1β, IL-8, and TNF-α was reduced. These are chemicals (cytokines/chemokines) that the body produces to cause inflammation.
The Synbio® products include the probiotic Bacillus subtilis, which very actively produces certain biosurfactants, called surfactins. These surfactins have a proven anti-inflammatory effect. This anti-inflammatory effect ensures less itching and redness in many skin conditions.

Skin barrier repair
A clinical study conducted in the USA by Dr. Jean-Philippe Therrien on Chrisal’s Synbio® formulation showed that after skin irritation, the skin barrier was repaired more quickly. After three days there was already a noticeably better recovery of the skin compared to the control. A quick repair of the skin barrier is important for the prevention of infections of damaged skin. Besides, intact skin also has visual advantages because the skin looks healthier and more beautiful.

The clinical studies conducted by Enviotic Ltd. and Chrisal are being expanded and the results will be published in the future.
