Biofilms are complex habitats of microorganisms on human skin. Microbes can hide inside the protective matrix of biofilms, where they have a reduced vulnerability to antimicrobial agents. This fact challenges the cosmetic industry to identify selective biofilm balancers, which specifically weaken biofilms of trouble making bacteria, and support biofilms of advantageous microbes.
With Cranberry Pro, Lipoid Kosmetik presents a COSMOS- and NATRUE-certified, substantiated extract that belongs to the Herbasol® Pro line. Cranberry Pro is a novel cosmetic tool that targets cutaneous biofilms. It has anti-adhesive and anti-biofilm forming activity but is non-biocidal. Cranberry Pro selectively represses biofilm formation of disadvantageous microorganisms, while promoting beneficial microorganisms in biofilms. Thereby, Cranberry Pro controls biofilms naturally.
Cranberry Pro can be used as the stand-alone active ingredient to control cutaneous biofilms, or in combination to support antimicrobial agents.
