usNeo™ – The Microbiome-Friendly Solution for Odor, Blemishes and Dandruff

Healthy skin contains thousands of different microbial species living in a balanced, sustaining and skin-supporting ecosystem, the skin microbiome. An imbalance of the skin microbiome leads to overpopulation of certain bacteria causing unwanted skin conditions, such as body odor, blemishes or dandruff. While classical treatments have been focusing on strong anti-microbial strategies, these are often unselective and harm the intricate microbial balance of the skin.

usNeo™ is an effective and gentle alternative for microbial control based on usnic acid from the from the lichen Usnea barbata in a propanediol-based, preservative-free and self-preserving solvent system. It is a highly potent, selective and microbiome-friendly cosmetic solution for body odor, skin blemishes and dandruff and suited for a broad range of cosmetic formulations.
