Yes, educating the public regarding the word, “microbiome” was the first order of business when I started as a founding consultant with TruAura Beauty. Up until 2/2018 it was not a word we commonly used in our everyday speech. Simply stated, the microbiome is the community of microorganisms that live on the skin and helps protect us.
Over the last five years we have learned more about our skin and its importance in maintaining our good health and well-being, now the questions have changed to: are the probiotics in TruAura Beauty live cultures?
Let’s look at the answer to that excellent question, do skin care products contain live probiotics.
In a word, no, live cultures are not preferred in skin care, body care, or cosmetics, and we'll explain why below.
For example, in the TrūAura Beauty Night Lotion Probiotics Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate, Bifida Ferment Lysate are used.
The live culture is freeze dried and the cellular wall is removed.
The live culture is extracted and becomes the compound of the bacteria.
Why is freeze drying the probiotic important??
Freeze drying captures the full integrity of the bacteria so it remains completely active.
Fermentation takes place to make it small particles so it is bioavailable to the body.
In slightly more technical terms, alysate is a liquid mixture that results from the lysis, or breaking down, of cells. It typically contains a variety of cellular components, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules, as well as debris from the broken cell membranes. The TruAura process ensures that the active ingredients of the live culture are preserved in the skin care products.
Lysates can show better bioavailability, meaning they may be more efficient at getting into the layers of the skin. Various creams and lotions are formulated in a way to enhance absorption through the skin in order to deliver the active ingredient to the body.
So in TruAura Beauty ingredients you will see " Lysate" listed and that is what it means. And in the case of skin creams, such as TruAura Beauty Night Lotion,lysates offer more efficient absorption over live probiotic cultures.
