As the field continues to commercialize, it is time to ask how this research can benefit consumers. How can the skin microbiome be leveraged as a source of biomarkers, as a therapeutic modality, as an understandable term to consumers?Join us in Boston for a two-day face-to-face event, attended in the past by the likes of P&G, Jackson Laboratory, and the FDA. Unravel the function of the skin microbiome and apply the latest findings to your future products. See you in November!Here’s a sneak peek of some key takeaways:Establish skin microbiome friendly hygiene products to meet consumer demands related to the pandemic, with Codex Beauty and SanexFind out how to maintain regulatory standards and avoid litigation around claims with Q&A and presentations from FDA and NADDiscover how to use functional prebiotics to feed beneficial bacteria and increase product development price efficiency and convenience with Cybele Microbiome and Colgate PalmoliveTap into personalized skincare with pore specific Cutibacterium acnes data and analytics from Tami Lieberman and DermalaLeverage phage, LBP and autologous bactherapeutics to target skin disease with AOBiome, Azitra, Matrisys, BiomX and more"This event is a unique gathering of individuals from academia and industry who are collaborating to advance microbiome science.
