Why Microbiome-Friendly Skincare Is Important

Waarom microbioomveilige huidverzorging belangrijk is

Why is this so important?

Your skin microbiome does more than you think:

  • It supports your skin barrier
  • It protects against unwanted intruders
  • It helps keep your pH in balance
  • It reduces irritation and inflammation

When products disrupt these bacteria, they can weaken your skin’s natural defenses. The more often this happens, the harder it is for your skin to recover. Over time, this can lead to sensitivity, acne, eczema, redness, and recurring skin problems.

How do we measure microbiome-friendliness?

At YUN Probiotherapy, that insight has led to the Microbiome Safe Scoring System, a way to assess how skincare products interact with your skin’s natural balance and its beneficial bacteria. It’s not just a label on a package, but a conscious approach to product development, based on what your skin needs to stay strong, calm, and balanced.

Ingredient lists (INCI) don’t tell the whole story. That’s why at YUN, we don’t just look at individual ingredients—we look at how the entire formula interacts with your skin. We test each product step by step:

  1. Ingredients – We test them at various concentrations.
  2. Formulas – We’ll see how they work together.
  3. Finished Products – We measure their impact on beneficial bacteria.

Each formula is carefully developed and tested so that we understand how it behaves on your skin and within its natural ecosystem. We examine the composition, how the ingredients interact with one another, and their impact on the beneficial bacteria that protect your skin.

Our goal is simple: to develop formulas that support, protect, and restore the skin microbiome so your skin can maintain its natural balance.
