    Has anyone worked with thermus thermophilus? We’re thinking of using it but there seems to be various strains. Looking for the most effective one for skin care

    1 All formulations need to pass a bacterial test to be approved.

    2 Most formulations need preservatives, that will kill, harm or at least prevent from growing, any existing bacteria.

    3 There’s no evidence bacterial strains are safe.
    They may cause excessive bacterial growth in some people.
    i.e. eyes are especially prone to developing infections.

    4 There’s no evidence that bacterial strains are beneficial for skin.

    5 Stop reading pseudoscientific BS blogs that advise dangerous treatments, like live bacteria.

    well there is evidence on Thermus Thermophilus strain also there is evidence a multitude of fermented ingredients that work well on the skin.  Sederma, ground breaking scientific skin care company, has lots of research on Thermus Thermophilus among a lot of other peer research papers which I don’t include here but are easily googlable.

    You can be your own guinea pig if you want
    just don’t sell it as regulations clearly ban live bacteria

    You just need one customer to get sick from it
    to end up with your home and assets forfeited, and maybe even in jail.

    While I haven’t (I don’t intend to) read the studies
    Sederma (or any large corporation) haven’t gotten live bacteria to the market for the above mentioned reasons.

    Even bacterial extracts can become troublesome
    it only takes a single surviving bacteria to make it to the extract, to infect customers and cost hundreds of millions, if not billions in reparations and fines.

    Don’t expect a single individual or small firm to outsmart them, and overcome these hurdles.

    Koreans have been doing this for decades, all is fine. Never heard of a class action or lawsuit because of a ferment or bacterial extract on the skin, but i see your concern.
