    KEY FINDINGS FOR THE GLOBAL MICROBIOME LANDSCAPE

    While OTC probiotics have been long established as a important contributor

    to human health in general, novel microbiome-based therapies for

    gastrointestinal disorders may emerge in the next few years.

    This is an area of growing industry interest as large FMCH companies are

    looking towards improving F&B products by introducing probiotic, prebiotic

    and in some cases, even non-live probiotic ingredients for targeted health

    applications.

    The personal care and cosmetic industries have witnessed the launch of

    several new companies that are solely focused on offering microbiome-based

    skincare products. Not surprisingly, leading cosmetic brands are also interested

    in developing new products that incorporate microbiome technologies.

    Another interesting area that is starting to get impacted by microbiome

    technologies is the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) industry.

    Re-introduction of probiotics in indoor air environment is the newest trend that

    is likely to witness significant traction the coming years.

    SUMMARY OF KEY CHALLENGES

    Clinical Validation of Microbiome Research The biggest challenge for probiotic and other microbiome-enabled technologies is having the right science (high quality, strain-specific, human clinical evidence) to support the health benefits of the organism.

    Limited Availability of Shelf Stable Probiotic Strains Frost & Sullivan believes that incorporation of live probiotic strains is restricted by the limited availability of shelf stable probiotic strains. There is a need for the discovery and development of such strains.

    Defining Global Regulatory Guidelines Probiotic and microbiome regulations for consumer health vary significantly across the globe and it has been difficult to harmonize health benefits claims regulations across countries.

    Achieving Optimal Scalability For live probiotic products, manufacturing and scalability will be a challenge. However, advances in biomanufacturing and biomonitoring platforms will help address that difficulty in the mid-term future.

    Restraining Production Costs Probiotic skincare products are likely to be expensive initially. However, as manufacturing is optimized enable time, resource and cost savings, consumer products will become more cost-effective in the future.

    Key Takeaway: Strain-specific clinical documentation of health benefits will be the key rate-limiting factor for developing new consumer products across the global probiotic landscape. Low shelf-stability and viability of probiotic strains will also restrict their incorporation in consumer care products. However, rapid research advances are likely to address these challenges in the mid-term future. While there is growing dialogue to define the use of probiotic and associated health claims in F&B and supplement applications, there is need to accelerate regulatory frameworks for use in cosmetic and home hygiene applications.

    for skin care

    and anti-aging

    applications

    Probiotics

    Companies such as AOBiome are looking to introduce live probiotic bacteria

    on human skin to alleviate inflammatory skin conditions. It’s a niche

    application area with very few participants in the space.

    Probiotic-derived Products

    Probiotic lysates or supernatants have been scientifically documented to

    provide anti-aging benefits. Such probiotic-derived ingredients can be useful

    to creating topical formulations for personal care applications. For example.

    Ganeden offers Bonicel, a supernatant derived from its probiotic, BC30, for

    application in cosmetic, anti-aging formulations.

    Prebiotics

    Prebiotic ingredients are being actively researched for use in personal care

    products. Ingredients such as inulin, β-glucan and algae are being actively

    researched for applications in skin care formulations. Companies working in

    this space include Gallinée and Oskia Skincare.

    Targeted Antimicrobials

    Antimicrobial products that specifically target pathogenic bacteria are likely

    to have a growing market potential. Antimicrobial topical formulations will

    have a growing adoption for skin ailments such as acne, eczema and other

    inflammatory conditions. For instance, Micreos offers antimicrobial acne

    gel.

    Microbiome-friendly Ingredients

    There is a growing focus towards the use of skin-friendly and pH-balanced

    ingredients in skin care formulations so that the natural skin microbiome is not

    Cutaneous microbial diversity in 645 samples from 110 subjects, based on skin location and beta diversity analysis over time, by ethnic group.

    Key Takeaways:

    Research has revealed that skin microbiome samples from different ethnic groups were similar to each other when grouped based on the skin site

    Despite the microbial conservation unique to skin site, there was distinct clustering observed for population groups such as Caucasian, African Americans, etc.

    Ecological zone of the skin is the primary factor that relates to cutaneous microbiota composition

    Ethnicity also impacts microbial composition, but is only secondary to the impact of ecological site

    ADVANCES IN PROBIOTIC TECHNOLOGIES FOR SKINCARE

    Overview

    Skin care formulations are poised to transform skincare

    routine with the advent of microbiome-based innovations.

    Probiotic technologies that use live microbiota in their unique

    formulations are likely to lead this transformation. Big pharma

    companies, such as Johnson & Johnson, are helping biotech

    start-ups such as S-Biomedic, to advance probiotic

    formulations for therapeutic and cosmetic applications. There

    are a few companies, such as Esse and AOBiome, that claim

    to introduce live probiotic bacteria topically to provide

    skincare benefits. Some companies, such as Azitra, are

    looking to develop recombinant microbes that can express

    filaggrin to treat skin ailments such as eczema.

    Technology Capability

    Application Landscape Key Companies

    Probiotic product for skin care applications is a

    technologically challenging space. It is important for

    companies claiming topical benefits for probiotic products to

    show that live probiotics are viable on skin surface and can

    lead to significant benefits to the host. Additionally, most skin

    care formulations are not conducive for bacterial growth.

    Hence, skin care formulations in the probiotic space need to

    show the growth of skin-friendly microbial species, and also

    need to inhibit the growth of pathogenic microorganisms

    without using very harsh chemical preservatives. As a result,,

    very few companies have been able to successfully claim the

    use of live probiotic products in formulations.

    The key application areas for live probiotic topical

    formulations are reduction of skin sensitivity, acne, and skin

    spots. The products are also beingg used for slowing ageing

    process. Yun offers a live probiotic spray for foot care

    applications. AOBiome, a very innovative probiotic company,

    , offers a water-based mist formulation having ammonia-

    oxidizing bacteria that can be used regularly instead of a

    shower, to prevent destruction of the healthy skin microbiota after a bath. Another company, Azitra, is looking to developing recombinant microbes for topical applications

    THE GROWING USE OF PROBIOTIC-DERIVED FORMULATIONS FOR ENHANCING SKINCARE

    Overview

    There are several cosmetic companiess that use probiotic-

    derived ingredients for skincare applications. Some of the

    typical ingredients in this space include Lactobacillus extract,

    Lactococcus ferment lysate and post-biotic products such as

    lactic acid. Companies also use probiotic ferment filtrate or

    broth derived from microbial fermentation for enhanced skin

    health. Possibly one of the foremost technology in this space

    is that offered by Estée Lauder, the Miracle Broth formulation

    derived from sea kelp fermentation and used in the

    company’s signature Crème de la Mer product. There are

    several start-up companies that are also looking to delve in to

    this space of probiotic-derived cosmetics.

    Technology Capability

    Application Landscape Key Companies

    From a technology standpoint, it’s relatively easier to

    introduce probiotic-derived ingredients in skincare

    formulations. Most probiotic-derived cosmetics do not require

    refrigeration as they do not use live microorganisms in the

    products. Furthermore, such ingredients do not require major

    changes in preservative process and do not affect the

    product shelf-life. A growing emphasis on wellness in

    skincare products is likely to fuel the use of such ingredients

    in topical formulations, especially when it comes to alleviating

    skin sensitivity, redness and irritation. Probiotic-derived

    ingredients are likely to transform the cosmetic industry by

    restoring the skin microbiome balance.

    Most of the applications for topical probiotic-derived

    formulations help to reduce skin sensitivity, redness, irritation,

    rosacea, acne and aging. While aiding the restoration of

    skin’s natural barrier functions, most formulations containing

    collagen also help to restore skin’s natural firmness and

    prevent sagging. Companies such as Ganeden, offer

    probiotic-derived ingredients for skin care and anti-aging

    applications. The company’s anti-aging ingredient, Bonicel, is

    a supernatant derived from their proprietary BC30 probiotic

    line and is primarily used in various cosmetic products.

    NOVEL SKIN-FRIENDLY FORMULATIONS FUELING THE ADOPTION OF INNOVATIVE PREBIOTIC INGREDIENTS

    Overview

    Several cosmetic companies are developing novel

    formulations that contain ingredients that serve as food for

    the beneficial microorganisms on the skin surface. Such

    ingredients, or ‘prebiotics’ typically comprise plant sugars and

    oligosaccharides such as alpha-glucan oligosaccharide, beta-

    glucan or carbohydrates derived from microalgal origins.

    Certain cosmetic brands offer a combination of prebiotic and

    probiotic ingredients to enable a more holistic skincare

    regime. Some of the key companies in this space include

    Gallinée, Glowbiotics MD and Novexpert. The prebiotic

    ingredient space is likely to be a growing focus area for

    cosmetic industries in the near future.

    Technology Capability

    Application Landscape Key Companies

    Prebiotic ingredients are shelf-stable and relatively easier to

    incorporate within cosmetic formulations. There is a growing

    focus towards the incorporations of such plant sugars into

    topical formulations. One of the key differentiators of such

    topical formulations will be the availability of scientific data

    that back the benefit claims of the skin care products

    organically-sourced prebiotic ingredients are likely to be a

    part of luxury cosmetic brands initially,. However, this trend

    may change as more products start incorporating a shift

    towards the use of naturally-derived prebiotics in the near to

    mid-term future.

    Prebiotic ingredients are mostly derived from plant sources

    and are consumed by beneficial skin microorganisms. When

    combined with probiotic and probiotic-derived for a wide

    range of skin conditions such as acne, redness, irritation,

    sensitivity, rosacea and eczema. Such products may also be

    useful to reduce visible sings of skin aging such as wrinkles

    and fine lines. Furthermore, as prebiotics are derived from

    natural sources they are less likely to have adverse effects on

    human skin.

    NOVEL TARGETED ANTIMICROBIAL FORMULATIONS

    Overview

    In 2016,the US FDA issued a rule that prohibited the use of

    antibacterial ingredients such as triclosan in topical

    antibacterial washes as they were not shown to have long

    term benefits when compared to regular washes.

    Furthermore, studies have revealed that triclosan, being a

    broad spectrum bactericidal agent, can adversely effect the

    beneficial skin microflora and cause drug resistance in

    pathogenic bacteria. Such non-specific antimicrobials can

    also reduce the levels of histone deacetylaces (HDACs) in

    skin cells which is needed for maintaining an optimal balance

    of the skin’s commensal bacteria. Thus, there is a need for

    developing targeted antimicrobial ingredients.

    Technology Capability

    Application Landscape Key Companies

    As there is growing consumer awareness of the harmful

    effects of long term use of topical broad-spectrum

    antimicrobial agents, more users are looking towards natural

    and gentle skincare formulations that do not harm the

    beneficial skin microflora. Hence, companies such as Nerd

    Skincare, US, are offering targeted antimicrobial formulations

    that help the growth of the beneficial microflora to restore the

    skin’s natural balance and enable enhanced immunity against

    pathogenic bacteria. Another company, Micreos, offers the

    Staphefekt SA.100 enzyme ingredient in topical formulation

    that is specifically targeted against Staphylococcus aureus,

    (including MRSA).

    Targeted antimicrobial ingredients are being used for several

    cosmetic skin care applications, especially for the treatment

    of acne, eczema, rosacea and skin irritation. Ingredients that

    help the growth of the skin’s natural microflora or specifically

    inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria are likely to garner

    increased acceptance moving forward, especially across a

    wide range of innovative skincare formulations.

    INNOVATIVE MICROBIOME-FRIENDLY FORMULATIONS

    Overview

    Several companies that offer probiotic skin formulations also

    offer several products that are pH balanced and skin-biome

    friendly. Most products in this space use ingredients that do

    not alter the microflora of the skin, although they may not

    have any active probiotic formulations.

    Key Companies

    Technology Capability

    This technology platforms is likely to garner growing focus as

    it offers biome-friendly formulations that may not necessarily

    use any active probiotic ingredient. Hence, they do not face

    the typical technological hurdles associated with the

    development of a skincare formulation that contain live

    probiotic microorganisms or probiotic-derived metabolites.

    Application Landscape

    Most products in this space offer solutions for skin dryness,

    irritation. Unlike other probiotic products that are targeted for

    specific skin conditions, microbiome-friendly formulations

    help to improve skin health, without harming the skin

    microbiome in any way.
