Join CosmeticsDesign US for our exclusive webinar, “Unleashing High Performance through the Skin Microbiome,” on June 11 at 11 AM CST.
The skin microbiome has moved from buzzword to blueprint for high-performance beauty. As consumers demand smarter, more skin-compatible products, brands and suppliers are racing to understand how the skin’s natural ecosystem can be supported, not disrupted.
Join us for a forward-looking webinar exploring how the microbiome is reshaping product innovation, formulation, and consumer expectations.
We’ll bring together brand leaders, scientific experts, and market analysts to uncover what’s working, what’s next, and how your products can rise to the challenge.
What to expect:
- Insights into the current state and future direction of the microbiome beauty market
- Key formulation strategies for microbiome-friendly skincare and cosmetics
- Expert takes on ingredient innovation, testing, and product positioning
- A spotlight on microbiome expansion into baby care, nutricosmetics, and makeup
- Live discussion with founders, formulators, and skin health professionals
- Practical advice for creating products that deliver results without compromising skin balance
Exclusive insights from our panelists:
Dr. Jennifer Davis Alexander, Holistic Skin Scientist and Founder of Dr. Jen Knows Skin
“Microbiome care requires balance. Ingredients must be thoughtfully selected to support skin health while avoiding harsh actives that can disrupt this delicate ecosystem or pose broader health risks.“
Equally important is inclusive testing across a wide range of skin tones—most notably Black skin, which remains underrepresented in skin care research. Testing across diverse racial and ethnic groups ensures formulations deliver effective results for everyone.
True inclusivity is key to unlocking the full potential of microbiome care."
Eleonora Mazzilli, Trend Localization and Business Development Director, BEAUTYSTREAMS
“Making “microbiome-friendly” claims without sufficient scientific evidence to support them is a significant mistake. Brands need robust research and testing to validate their claims and demonstrate the efficacy and safety of their products.
Advanced techniques, including meta-genomic sequencing, enable a more comprehensive understanding of the skin microbiome, allowing researchers to assess changes in microbial diversity and to identify the specific bacterial strains influenced by product usage.
Additionally, considering the variability in individual microbiomes, personalized testing approaches will become more prevalent, tailoring skin care routines to an individual’s unique microbial profile."
Paula Simpson, Innovation, Product Development & Branding Consultant, Nutribloom Consulting
“The microbiome skin care movement is reshaping conventional approaches to skin health. Rather than relying solely on harsh actives or aggressive treatments, this emerging category focuses on balancing and nurturing the skin’s natural ecosystem.
Microbiome-focused formulations are designed to target harmful pathogens while replenishing and supporting the skin’s microflora through prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics. This gentle, science-backed strategy promotes resilient, healthy skin and aligns with the growing consumer demand for holistic beauty and wellness solutions."
Alanna Tran, Founder and Chief Scientist, BiotechBeauty
“The skin microbiome is at the forefront of beauty innovation because of its profound impact on skin health and resilience. Recent metagenomic sequencing advances have revealed that our skin hosts over 1,000 bacterial species along with fungi, viruses, and mites, collectively forming unique microbial fingerprints that influence everything from inflammatory response to barrier function.
Research from institutions like the National Institutes of Health’s Human Microbiome Project has demonstrated that a balanced microbiome modulates immune signaling pathways, supports antimicrobial peptide production, and helps regulate sebum composition.
We’re seeing clear clinical correlations between dysbiosis—microbial imbalance—and conditions like acne, rosacea, atopic dermatitis, and premature aging.
As consumers increasingly prioritize holistic wellness and “inside-out” approaches to health, brands are recognizing the microbiome as not just another trend but a fundamental paradigm shift in how we approach skin health and product formulation."
