Today, in fact, we know much more about the type of bacteria representing the resident flora of the skin than in the past. In addition to bacteria, fungi, viruses and microeukaryotes have also been mapped. <\/span><\/p>\n

The microorganisms of the resident flora, or skin microbiota, play important actions in defense of our health.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bacterial colonization that occurred in human evolution certainly protects us from possible colonization by potentially dangerous foreign strains.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1731594740936{margin-bottom: 60px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_tta_accordion style=”modern” shape=”square” color=”white” c_icon=”” active_section=”1″][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-book” add_icon=”true” title=”DEFINITIONS” tab_id=”1661938473054-de0852e8-0979″][vc_column_text]MICROBIOMA: genome of microorganisms that normally reside in the human body.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nHowever, the same bacteria can become pathogens under certain conditions.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”35″ content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1731594900558{margin-bottom: 60px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_custom_heading text=”Microbiota, antiseptics, and antibiotics” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:20|text_align:left|color:%23000000″ google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1731594773013{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=””]The most feared condition is that exposure to antiseptics, antibiotics and other chemicals may change the bacterial ecosystem and especially induce resistance. Today there is a growing fear of the <\/span> generation of superbugs or superbacteria resistant to any antibiotic and capable, potentially, of killing the host by septicemia or infection.<\/p>\n

Several studies have assessed how daily cosmetics can disrupt the skin’s microbiota. Most products of skin use, whether in cleansing or skincare, contain antiseptic components or preservatives. These, in daily application and especially for leave-on products, could generate alterations in the ecosystem by promoting pathogen-powered colonizations. <\/span>
\nAppropriate choices by formulators on both the type of preservative and the percentage of use selected according to the type of product are recommended.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”47023″ img_size=”full” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Indications” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:20|text_align:left|color:%23000000″ google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1731594821163{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column_text]Therefore, it is necessary to review the trend of using products containing antiseptics and disinfectants when:<\/span><\/p>\n
