It is claimed to be the first scientifically proven, 100% transparent, and microbiome-friendly label for cosmetic ingredients.
In recent years, consumers have become familiar with the skin microbiome trend whose benefits are now in high demand.
A recent global study conducted by Givaudan Active Beauty demonstrated that 84% of consumers found the B‑Biome™ Score certificate innovative; 79% of those surveyed would be willing to buy a beauty product that carries it.
B‑Biome™ Score leverages advanced dermatological expertise to determine the final score of a given active ingredient based on three scientific criteria:
- Short-term impact after one application on the skin
- Cumulative impact after several days’ application on the skin
- Resilience of microbial viability after stopping the application
Proof positive of the company’s commitment to offer the best and microbiome-friendly ingredients on the cosmetic market, B‑Biome™ Score will be progressively adopted to its portfolio of active ingredients.
“
At Givaudan, we build on our knowledge and innovation in the skin microbiome to develop new ingredients. Developed by the experts at our Centre of Excellence in Microbiomics in Toulouse, France, B‑Biome™ Score offers a scientifically proven evaluation method in an open format, allowing beauty brands to quickly understand the impact of active ingredients on the skin microbiome,” said Romain Reynaud, R&D director.
