Cosmetic Standards:
Why are standards important in cosmetics?
In the cosmetics industry, there is a wide range of products with diverse claims of effectiveness. A standard for microbiome-friendly cosmetics provides clarity for consumers and manufacturers by ensuring that products respect the skin. Our standards are based on scientific findings and include rigorous testing procedures to guarantee that the tested products are genuinely microbiome-friendly. Clear standards make it easier for consumers to identify products that are not only effective but also gentle and supportive of natural skin health. At the same time, they serve as a guide for manufacturers in developing modern, microbiome-friendly formulations.
