Skin microbioma: we must take care of it

Let’s talk about skin microbioma. Many know what the microbioma is, that is to say that set of microorganisms that live in our body: they are hosted, for example, in the intestine, where the populations of bacteria play a very important role not only for digestion but for health in general. What is not so known, however, is that there is also a skin microbioma: In fact, billions of bacteria, yeasts, viruses, mushrooms and other microorganisms essential for the balance of this organ live on our skin so crucial for our well -being.

The usefulness of the microbioma

Indeed The skin microbioma stimulates the activity of the immune system, prevents infections and colonization by “bad” bacteria, maintains the surface barrier integrates, helps the healing of wounds: In short, it is fundamental for the good health of the skin organ. Yet there has been very little and only in recent years. Since 2016, however, There is a brand of cosmetics born precisely to support the activity of the microbioma And to keep it in a state of efficiency, in order to guarantee the skin to remain luminous, well hydrated and healthy.

The idea of ​​a French pharmacist

Not surprisingly, moreover, This line was designed and formulated by a pharmacist, the French Marie Dragowho after working over 20 years in cosmetics, created the Gallinée brand, launched in Italy for a few months. His is a particular story, which is worth telling. In the midst of her career, Dr. Dragon was hit by a rare and very annoying skin disease, the Pauderma Gangrenosowhich causes ulcerations on the skin. It seems to be of autoimmune origin and improves taking pre and probiotics, that is, good bacteria, which nourish and support the skin microbioma. From there, the doctor started studying the microbioma, he wrote us a doctoral thesis and thought that if you can manage an inflammatory pathology by eating probiotics, perhaps it is advisable to apply these microorganisms on the skin, to strengthen their defenses. So he was born Gallinée.

The characteristics of the line

The range is very wide and includes face, body and hair products. As for the skincare, Gallinée offers detergents and toned, serums and creams for every type of skin (from the fat to the dry one, from the sensitive to atopic, from the young to the mature one). What characterizes the entire brand is, as we have said, the fact that deals with the microbioma: therefore All products are delicate, respectful of the skin balance, without fragrance, without dyes and almost always without preservatives. The detergents contain sweet surfactants, in order not to stress the skin, the prebiotics and probiotics inserted in the treatments are the most effective and innovative suggested by science.

And above all these ingredients are not inserted in negligible quantities only to write on the bottle that are part of the formula, but are added in Very high concentrationsin order to guarantee maximum effectiveness. In fact, simply use little product every time to have excellent results. Not only that. All use tests take place under the control of a dermatologist and almost all products are tested for sensitive skin. Furthermore No chicken product contains silicones, parabens, microplastics or other potentially toxic ingredients for humans or for the environmentwhile the formulas contain from 80 to 100% of natural substances.

What the products contain

In addition to not containing questionable ingredients or little friends of the skin, Gallinée products are a concentrate of pre, pro and postbiotics. Prebiotics nourish good bacteria and hungry the bad ones, so they reduce the inflammatory state of the skin (which is inflamed for imperfections or acne, that it is for stress, too much sun, tiredness, incorrect nutrition, superlavoro or even just for age).

The probiotics, on the other hand, are good bacteria, which adding to the existing ones strengthen the surface barrier, stimulate cell renewal and also soothe the skin. Postjusthes, eliminating bad bacteria, also contribute to calm the skin and strengthen their defenses, making it more resilient, more robust and toned. In particular Use Gallinée as prebiotics of algae extracts, such as postbiotic lactic acid, which is produced by some good bacteria and is moisturizing, firming, lightening and anti -aging.

Among the best -selling products and we have tried there are the Nettoyante Visage mousse, With prebiotics and lactic acid, the delicately exfoliating tonic Vinaigre Visagethe Crème Visage Universellewhich is the cocktail of pre, pro and postpiopics suitable for any type of epidermis and the Sérum apaisantrich in marine prebiotics and fermented oats, which is a real cure -all for red or sensitive skin.
