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.
