Millet for the microbiota

Rahn’s new active ingredient Defensil-Pure is obtained by the fermentation of organic gold millet using a process with optimally adjusted parameters. This results in a greater release of active substances such as minerals by comparison with plain millet extract, it is claimed.

“It naturally balances the skin microbiota, strengthens the skin barrier and moisturises particularly dry skin. Furthermore, it improves the complexion, and counteracts atopic eczema,” the company said.

Rahn cited in vitro studies demonstrating that the postbiotic ingredients of Defensil-Pure are able to inhibit the activation of the inflammasome. It further promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria on the skin surface and has the potential to supplant undesirable microorganisms, while protecting atopic skin against further damage and quickly resealing the skin barrier.
