Prebiotics and probiotics have become key ingredients in the field of cosmetics, particularly for their benefits on skin health.
Demain Beauty incorporates these active ingredients into its products to strengthen the skin and intestinal microbiota, thus promoting holistic beauty.
Our skin is naturally home to millions of beneficial microorganisms that form a protective shield. These bacteria produce antimicrobial substances that prevent pathogens from establishing themselves on our epidermis.
The skin microbiota actively participates in strengthening our immune system . Like a microscopic army, it educates our natural defenses and helps maintain an optimal pH for healthy skin.
Skin bacteria also perform an essential metabolic function. They convert sebum and other secretions into beneficial nutrients for the skin, promoting its natural hydration and regeneration.
Nearly a billion different microorganisms live on every square centimeter of skin, creating a unique ecosystem as personal as our fingerprints.
Demain products are all enriched with prebiotics and probiotics because we are committed to taking care of your skin microbiota.
The benefits of prebiotics and probiotics for balanced and healthy skin
A harmonious skin microbiota is the key to radiant skin. This perfect symbiosis between different bacterial populations allows for better sebum regulation and enhanced protection against external aggressions.
Research shows that an imbalance in the microbiota can trigger various reactions such as redness, sensitivity, or blemishes. Conversely, a balanced skin flora strengthens the skin's natural barrier and promotes its regeneration.
Dermatologists observe that skin with a stable microbiota is more resilient to environmental factors such as pollution and UV rays. This stability results in a more even complexion and improved skin texture.
Factors that disrupt skin balance
Air pollution and UV rays are the primary aggressors of our bacterial flora. These environmental elements alter the diversity of beneficial microorganisms and weaken the skin's natural defenses.
Excessive use of harsh cleansers or antibacterial solutions alters the skin's natural pH. This chemical imbalance disrupts the composition of protective microbial populations.
Stress , an unbalanced diet and lack of sleep also affect the stability of this living barrier.
A concrete example: during a period of prolonged anxiety, excessive production of cortisol disrupts the renewal of beneficial bacteria and promotes the appearance of skin inflammation.
Definition and role of prebiotics and probiotics in cosmetics
A prebiotic is a substance that feeds the good bacteria in our microbiome, whether in the gut or on the skin. Unlike probiotics , which are live microorganisms, prebiotics serve as "fuel" for these beneficial bacteria, promoting their growth and activity.
They are mainly made up of specific dietary fibers (such as inulin or fructo-oligosaccharides), which our body does not digest but which are fermented by the microbiota. This process generates beneficial compounds, including short-chain fatty acids, which contribute to the balance of intestinal and skin flora.
Demain Beauty treatments incorporate prebiotics to preserve the skin's natural balance and make it healthier day after day.
Probiotics: allies of healthy skin
A probiotic is a live microorganism, primarily bacteria or yeast, that provides health benefits when consumed in sufficient quantities. It works by strengthening the microbiome, the essential ecosystem of microorganisms found on our skin and in our gut.
In cosmetics, probiotics applied to the skin support the skin microbiome by stimulating good bacteria and limiting the growth of pathogens. This helps strengthen the skin barrier, soothe sensitive skin, and reduce imbalances such as redness or acne.
Proven benefits for the skin: the proven results of Demain beauty treatments
Clinical tests demonstrate the remarkable effectiveness of Demain Beauty formulas. Users notice a visible reduction in redness after 14 days of use, with more comfortable and soothed skin.
The unique combination of prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics in the care reveals impressive results: 89% of participants noted a significant improvement in hydration after 28 days.
The skin barrier is naturally strengthened, while the complexion becomes more luminous.
Instrumental measurements confirm a 42% reduction in imperfections and a 37% increase in skin elasticity. The skin's texture becomes smoother and softer, regaining its natural radiance.

How to choose your prebiotic and probiotic treatments?
How to choose your biotic treatments?
Choosing skincare products enriched with prebiotics and probiotics requires understanding their role and synergy. Prebiotics nourish the good bacteria in the skin microbiome, while probiotics provide beneficial live microorganisms to strengthen skin balance. Ideally, opt for skincare products that combine these two active ingredients to protect, regenerate, and balance skin flora.
Check the ingredient list: Probiotics are found under names like Lactobacillus Ferment or Leuconostoc Ferment Filtrate , while prebiotics often appear as saccharides or inulins . Make sure these active ingredients are listed prominently in the ingredient list, a sign of their effective concentration.
Choose natural formulas without harsh ingredients (like sulfates or drying alcohols), which can disrupt the microbiome. Skincare should be tailored to your skin type: sensitive skin will benefit from a soothing cream with probiotics, while combination skin will appreciate a lightweight serum with prebiotics to regulate excess sebum.
Demain Beauty treatments integrate this approach with targeted active ingredients to preserve the skin's natural balance and strengthen its protective barrier, for radiant and resilient skin every day.
"Taking care of your skin also means nourishing your microbiome: prebiotics and probiotics naturally rebalance, protect, and enhance your radiance."
How do you know if you need prebiotics and probiotics?
Skin that feels tight or uncomfortable is a first warning sign. Diffuse redness on the face, accompanied by dry, rough areas, suggests an imbalance in the skin's microbiota.
Frequent skin reactions to common cosmetic products reveal a weakened skin barrier. The skin then becomes more vulnerable to external aggressions, resulting in a complexion that lacks radiance.
The presence of small recurring imperfections , particularly in the T-zone of the face, indicates an increased need for prebiotics. These symptoms are particularly accentuated after a course of antibiotics or during seasonal changes.
Can prebiotics and probiotics be used together?
The combination of biotic active ingredients represents an exceptional synergy for your skin.
Prebiotics prepare the ground by nourishing the natural flora, while probiotics actively strengthen the skin's ecosystem.
