Probiotics and Postbiotics in Skincare
Has anyone worked with probiotics and postbiotics?
What type of product did you make? (Creams, lotions, toners, cleansers etc)
What are some challenges you faced while developing a stable formulation and what was the biggest advantage of using them?
What is one tip you would give to a first time user?

Probiotic survival at titer is a major issue for any application. In a (preserved) cosmetic, it’s problematic.
Advantage? Assuming yoy’ll not pusruse some measyrable endpoint - sales hype. -

I am leaning more towards postbiotics for ease of formulating. -
Do you know Estée Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair Serum?It’s one of the first well known products containing ferments which are now hyped as ‘postbiotics’… I guess that back in the day when they launched it, this term hasn’t even been invented yet

You can make virtually any cosmetic product using these ingredients. Be they Ferments, Lysates, Chicory Root Extract, Inulin, etc. the whole panoply of ingredients that comprise the space pre, pro, post-biotics are not really any different than working with any other cosmetic ingredient

Well… probiotics are a different story cause they are, by definition, living microbes… dunno how that should work unless dispersed in lyophilised form in an anhydrous product.
