Fafabiotic has announced two skincare formulations, Fresh Smoothing Probiotic Lotion, and Fresh Hydrating Probiotic Lotion, which incorporate live probiotic bacteria selected through synthetic biology techniques. These products aim to modulate the skin’s microbiome, a diverse community of microorganisms essential to maintaining skin barrier function and overall skin health.

The lotions utilize a two-component delivery system consisting of a nutrient-rich lotion base and a separately sealed cap containing dormant probiotic powder. Upon user activation (by mixing immediately before application), the probiotics transition from dormant to viable, ensuring their effectiveness at the time of use.

The skin microbiome has become a significant focus of dermatological research, highlighting its role in preventing pathogen colonization, reducing inflammation, and maintaining skin hydration. Fafabiotic’s formulations incorporate probiotic strains previously characterized in clinical and laboratory studies as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS), specifically selected for their demonstrated impact on skin health.

Fresh Smoothing Probiotic Lotion

The Fresh Smoothing Probiotic Lotion includes a probiotic strain studied for its potential effects on skin aging. Laboratory data suggest this probiotic strain can suppress enzymes such as matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), which are associated with collagen degradation and wrinkle formation. Regular use of probiotics in topical formulations may strengthen barrier function, reducing irritation and inflammation induced by external stressors. The lotion also contains mild probiotic-derived exfoliating compounds that could aid in gentle cellular turnover and skin brightening.

Fresh Hydrating Probiotic Lotion

The Fresh Hydrating Probiotic Lotion targets improved hydration and microbiome support. Its probiotic component has been selected for its ability to mitigate transepidermal water loss, an essential factor influencing skin hydration levels. By promoting beneficial microbial colonization on the skin surface, this lotion may help reduce dryness, sensitivity, and flaking. Additionally, it has been formulated for rapid absorption, facilitating daily use.

Scientific and Formulation Details

Both lotions are designed with minimal formulations, avoiding unnecessary additives and preservatives that could disrupt skin microbial communities. Probiotic viability has been confirmed through stability tests conducted by the company, demonstrating sustained bacterial viability both prior to and following product activation.

Fafabiotic has also indicated a commitment to environmentally responsible practices, including sustainable packaging and ethically sourced ingredients, aligning with industry-wide initiatives toward reduced environmental impact.

In addition, the company commitment is not just to care for skin—they care for society too. That’s why they commit 5% of their revenue to support women small business owners and startup founders. Every purchase helps fuel another woman’s dream, fund her journey, and give her a chance to rise.
