Modern cosmetics are constantly evolving to incorporate innovative ingredients that go beyond aesthetics to nourish and balance our skin. Prebiotics, an emerging category of cosmetic ingredients, are proving to be powerful allies in the quest for healthy, radiant skin.

What are Prebiotics?

Prebiotics are natural compounds, often in the form of complex fibers, that act as specific nutrients for beneficial bacteria naturally found on the skin. These substances are chosen for their ability to nourish and support the growth of beneficial micro-organisms, helping to maintain a healthy balance of skin flora. Unlike probiotics, which are live microorganisms, prebiotics are non-digestible substances that provide an ideal nutrient substrate for good skin bacteria.

Their Role in Cosmetics:

In the world of cosmetics, prebiotics play a crucial role by acting as guardians of the skin's microbial ecosystem. Their strategic inclusion in cosmetic formulations is based on several benefits:

1. Strengthen the Skin Barrier: Prebiotics act as stimulants to strengthen the skin barrier. By promoting the production of lipids and ceramides, they help maintain the integrity of the skin, thus reducing moisture loss and strengthening its resistance to external aggressions.

2. Promote Healthy Bacterial Flora: Prebiotics encourage the growth of beneficial bacteria, creating an environment conducive to balanced skin flora. Healthy bacterial flora is essential to protect the skin against unwanted invaders and prevent imbalances that can lead to skin problems.

3. Prevent Skin Problems: By helping to maintain balanced skin flora, prebiotics help prevent common problems such as inflammation, dryness, irritation, and even blemishes. They thus contribute to the preservation of clear, comfortable and healthy skin.

By intelligently integrating prebiotics into cosmetic products, it helps support the overall health of the skin, recognizing and working in harmony with the rich microbial ecosystem that inhabits it. This innovative approach marks an evolution in the understanding of skin beauty, highlighting the importance of balance and symbiosis for glowing and radiant skin.

Examples of Prebiotics:

1. Fructo-Oligosaccharides (FOS): Extracted from fruits such as banana, FOS promote the growth of good bacteria while inhibiting bad ones.

2. Galacto-Oligosaccharides (GOS): Found naturally in milk, GOS stimulate beneficial probiotics for balanced skin.

3. Inulin: Found in plants such as chicory, inulin feeds beneficial bacteria, strengthening the skin barrier

Feel Free and its Innovative Prebiotic - α-Glucan Oligosaccharide:

Our Feel Free face cream stands out for the inclusion of an innovative prebiotic - α-glucan oligosaccharide, obtained from natural sugars. This exceptional compound stimulates the skin's microbiota to promote the production of an in-situ postbiotic cocktail, thus strengthening the skin's natural balance.

The Effects of α-Glucan Oligosaccharide:

1. Microbiota Regulation: The α-glucan oligosaccharide acts as a regulator, promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria while balancing the skin flora. This regulation helps maintain a healthy skin ecosystem, strengthening the skin's resistance against external aggressions.

2. Stimulation of Natural Defenses: The assimilation of α-glucan oligosaccharide by the skin flora promotes the protection and biostimulation of the skin's natural defenses. By strengthening intrinsic defense mechanisms, it helps prevent skin problems and promote healthy, balanced skin.

3. Reduction of Redness: The soothing effect of α-glucan oligosaccharide, combined with Kannabia Sense, a happiness active ingredient present in Feel Free, helps to reduce redness, thus improving radiance and maintaining firmness of the skin. This combination provides a complete experience for glowing and fulfilling skin.
