Product Description

Derma Serum - Product Description

Probiotics for internal use have been extensively researched, and there has been significant exploration into probiotic species that support skin health when applied topically.1 The challenge with topical probiotics lies in keeping them alive long enough to reach the consumer. Utilizing multiple microbiology labs and years of expertise, the research team at Alimentum Labs has successfully addressed this challenge. When incorporated into this unique oil-based formula, these probiotic species remain viable. Consequently, this formula can directly reintroduce beneficial species to the skin, helping correct the skin’s microbiome and promoting overall skin health.

The skin’s microbiome is intricately connected to overall health conditions. Beneficial bacteria play a crucial role in promoting skin health, while an excess of harmful bacteria can result in a condition known as dysbiosis. Dysbiotic skin, characterized by an overgrowth of bad bacteria, can create an unstable environment for the skin. This phenomenon is becoming more prevalent due to our excessively sterile environments and constant exposure to environmental impurities and toxins.

Derma Serum - Product Description

The consequences of a dysbiotic environment can manifest in various health conditions, including acne, rosacea, psoriasis, dry skin, and more. Good bacteria, or probiotics, play a key role in regulating skin health. Derma Serum, for instance, contains beneficial bacteria that can support dry skin, diminish the appearance of wrinkles and signs of aging, address inflammatory complications, facilitate wound repair, address autoimmune concerns, tackle blemishes, and more.2 Additionally, maintaining a healthy skin microbiome can aid in combating bacterial, fungal, and viral skin conditions, while also reducing intermittent inflammation caused by allergies or sensitive skin.

This synbiotic blend features a rich assortment of beneficial oils and skin-focused nutrients, including the rare omega-7 fatty acid and ceramides. Together, these components offer several advantages for the skin, such as moisturization, anti-aging effects, protection, inflammation control, and wound support. Notably, Derma Serum also contains a protein that aids the skin in producing a compound known as β-defensin, a potent peptide responsible for safeguarding the skin.3

With all the benefits of an entire cosmetic superstore in one bottle, Derma Serum fits directly into any protocol for skin-related needs or anyone wanting vibrantly healthy skin.

Key Elements and Features of Derma Serum

  • Autoimmune Skin Support

    Topical probiotics play a beneficial role in managing autoimmune skin conditions. By fostering a balanced skin microbiome, these probiotics help regulate immune responses, thereby reducing inflammation and alleviating symptoms associated with autoimmune skin issues. Their anti-inflammatory properties alleviate redness and discomfort, promoting a healthier skin barrier. Incorporating topical probiotics into skincare routines can offer valuable support for individuals managing autoimmune skin conditions, contributing to overall skin comfort.

  • UV Protection

    Topical probiotics may provide a degree of protection against UV damage. They enhance the skin’s ability to defend against environmental stressors, including harmful UV rays, thereby reducing the risk of premature aging and sun damage. The antioxidant compounds in the unique oils also contribute to the protection against UV damage.

  • Blemish and Inflammation Reduction

    Probiotics on the skin can alleviate blemishes by regulating the skin’s microbiota. For individuals with red or blotchy skin, topical probiotics can be beneficial in minimizing redness as well. They work by reducing inflammation and controlling the overgrowth of blemish-causing bacteria, thereby supporting the skin’s natural healing processes and contributing to clearer, healthier skin.

  • Wound Healing

    Certain probiotics promote wound healing by accelerating the skin’s natural repair processes. They contribute to tissue regeneration, helping wounds to heal more efficiently and potentially reducing the risk of scarring.

  • Anti-Aging Effects

    Probiotics can support the skin’s elasticity and firmness, contributing to an anti-aging effect. They may help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by promoting collagen production and maintaining skin health. The oils and antioxidants in Derma Serum also protect against and minimize fine lines and wrinkles.

  • Enhanced Hydration

    Topical probiotics have moisturizing properties, helping to improve skin hydration. By supporting the skin barrier function, probiotics assist in retaining moisture, preventing dryness, and promoting a smoother complexion. Additionally, we have included specific oils and ceramides to take skin hydration to the next level.

Exclusive Probiotics Spotlight

These unique and powerful strains of probiotics are available exclusively through Alimentum Labs.

Probiotics

Staphylococcus epidermidis MS19

Staphylococcus epidermidis, a resident of the skin microbiome, is unique for its ability to coexist with the human host and maintain skin health. It competes with harmful microorganisms, forms protective biofilms, and metabolizes sebum to help prevent skin infections. This bacterium is part of a diverse skin microbiome where a balance of different microorganisms is crucial for overall skin health and immune response.4

Roseomonas mucosa MS18

Roseomonas mucosa MS18 has specialized adaptations that enable it to thrive on the skin’s surface, making it well-suited to the specific microenvironment of the skin. This adaptability sets it apart from other microbes that may not thrive as well under the skin’s conditions. It plays an active role in the complex interactions within the skin microbiome, contributing to the overall balance of the microbial community. Furthermore, its role in regulating inflammation and protecting against potential pathogens emphasizes its significance in supporting skin health. This sets it apart from microbes lacking similar functions in promoting skin well-being.5

Staphylococcus xylosus MS20

A very important, non-pathogenic Staphylococcus bacteria within our normal flora, S. xylosus plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy diversity on our skin. Ubiquitous in nature, S. xylosus can be found in various niches, persisting in soils and on surfaces. S. xylosus has the ability to increase skin CD8+ IL-17A producing T cells, thereby enhancing our skin’s ability to fight infections.6 Additionally, research has shown that S. xylosus produces compounds associated with antibacterial and anticancer activities.7

How Derma Serum Works

Certain strains of bacteria serve as powerful and beneficial topical probiotics for the skin. They regulate the skin’s condition through various mechanisms, including the production of antimicrobials and anti-inflammatory compounds. In addition to its advanced exclusive probiotic blend, Derma Serum is further enriched with specific oils and essential vitamins that are crucial for the skin’s most vital functions.

How It Works

Key Ingredients

Ligilactobacillus salivarius

Studies have shown that L. salivarius (previously known as Lactobacillus salivarius) is associated with a significant improvement in clinical atopic dermatitis. Modulating Th1/Th2 cytokine profiles is considered an important therapy for the treatment of atopic dermatitis in both adults and children.8

Bifidobacterium infantis

As a valuable species, often in short supply in adults’ GI tracts and skin, B. infantis produces essential B vitamins, helps regulate intestinal terrain, and aids in digesting milk products while also regulating skin inflammation. Topically, this strain of bacteria can support skin conditions such as psoriasis, dermatitis, acne and others.1,9

Roseomonas mucosa MS18

The topical application of commensal organisms (i.e. Roseomonas mucosa) can reduce the severity of atopic dermatitis, emphasizing the significant role of commensals in decreasing the colonization of pathogenic bacteria, especially Staphylococcus aureus. This reduction in pathogenic growth is crucial for individuals with atopic dermatitis as it can lower the risk of infections and skin complications.10

Staphylococcus epidermidis MS19
