The skin microbiota is a crucial factor in maintaining healthy skin. It consists of billions of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms that help protect the skin barrier, regulate immune responses, and combat harmful pathogens. When the microbiome balance is disrupted, the skin may become sensitive, dry, inflamed, and more prone to atopic dermatitis, eczema, and acne.
1. How Does OLT® Maintain Skin Microbiome Balance?
✔ Free from emulsifiers and preservatives that disrupt the microbiome
Traditional skincare products often contain emulsifiers and preservatives that may reduce microbial diversity. OLT® is completely free from emulsifiers and preservatives, ensuring a stable and healthy skin environment.
✔ Creates an ideal barrier environment to support beneficial microbes
By utilizing a multilayer lipid structure, OLT® maintains optimal hydration and pH levels, allowing beneficial microorganisms to thrive while preventing harmful bacterial overgrowth.
✔ Reduces TEWL to protect the microbiome from external disturbances
When TEWL (transepidermal water loss) increases, the microbiome can be disrupted due to excessive dryness. OLT® significantly lowers TEWL, preventing dehydration-related microbiome imbalances.
2. OLT®’s Role in Microbiome Regulation for Special Skin Conditions
✔ Atopic Dermatitis & Eczema
Studies show that Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) often dominates the skin microbiome in atopic dermatitis patients, leading to inflammation and worsening symptoms. OLT® helps regulate moisture balance and repair the barrier, reducing S. aureus overgrowth and restoring microbial diversity.
✔ Acne & Oily Skin
Acne is linked to an imbalance in Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes, formerly P. acnes). OLT® maintains a balanced skin environment, preventing excessive sebum production or excessive dryness, helping to restore a stable microbiome.
✔ Post-Cancer Treatment Skin Care
Chemotherapy and radiation therapy can alter the skin microbiome, making the skin more vulnerable to infections and irritation. OLT® provides a gentle barrier repair solution, preventing further microbial imbalances and promoting healthy skin recovery.
3. How Does OLT® Support Skin Microbiome Health?
The health of the skin microbiome is closely linked to barrier function. OLT® uses an emulsifier-free, low-irritation, and stable barrier repair technology to maintain microbial diversity while preventing imbalances caused by dehydration or external aggressors.
This scientifically advanced technology is not only beneficial for sensitive and barrier-compromised skin but also aids in managing atopic dermatitis, acne, and post-cancer treatment skin conditions, ensuring a stable and healthy microbial environment for the skin.
