Sederma Launches New Active to Combat Skin Damage & Protect the Skin Microbiome

Sederma has launched a new inclusive active ingredient, BB-Biont. 

 

The biomimetic peptide is a gentle alternative to aesthetic medicine allowing to smooth the appearance of pockmarks, or scars typically left behind from persistent acne, said the company. 

 

More than a symbiotic system, the relationship between the human body and the microbiome creates a supraorganism called holobiont. Because each damage in the skin generates an imbalance in its microbiome and vice versa, BB-Biont protects the microbiome, or the fourth skin layer and selectively slows the growth of Cutibacterium acnes and deconstructs its biofilm to avoid inflammatory skin damage. It also preserves the microbiome biodiversity, promoting a healthy skin. 

 

BB-Biont bans the cutaneous blemishes and helps to naturally achieve a flawless skin appearance. Tested on two independent mixed panels, 1% BB Biont significantly reduced the volume of pockmarks (-18.9%/placebo, p<0.01) and skin roughness (-6.5% /placebo, p<0.01) after two months of application. 

 

IECIC and RSPO compliant, BB-Biont is water soluble and recommended for use at 1%.
