Symrise has launched SymProBiome, a new platform for microbiome research. This emerged from collaborations between its experts in microbiology and microbiome research, and other authorities in the fields of human cell and molecular biology, analytics and organic synthesis.
“Paired with the long-standing core competence in flavours, fragrances, cosmetic ingredients and nutrition development, SymProBiome acts as an interdisciplinary platform that unites creativity and innovation and translates it into sophisticated science and new product development,” Symrise stated.
The company said that SymProBiome goes beyond previous research, which focused on the microbiome as an independent entity, and will lead to products being developed in areas including skin and hair care. Symrise has already used advanced microbiome screening and modelling tools in the development of products including the deodorant active SymDeo B125, SymReboot L19 for skin care and Crinipan PMC Green for scalp care.
“SymProBiome takes research and understanding of the human microbiome to the next level. This includes the development of dedicated in vitro and ex vivo microbiome models that closely models the natural ecosystems of the body”, said Dr Christin Koch, director of microbiology research at Symrise and scientific head of SymProBiome.
