Technical Details & Test Data
- Effect on Skin Microbiome-Associated Bacteria
- Bacterial Strains
- A: Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC® 35984™
- B: Staphylococcus aureus ATCC® 25923™
- C: Cutibacterium acnes ATCC® 6919™
- Experimental Design
- 4.5 mL test tubes of TSB (control) or TSB + 2% Bacillus Lysate were inoculated with bacterial culture, then incubated at 37 °C, 225 RPM and their absorbance values recorded over time.
- Results
- 2% Bacillus Lysate maintained the viability of the microorganisms after 15 hours of incubation. Bacillus Lysate did not inhibit the growth of skin microbiome associated bacteria; it is a microbiome- friendly ingredient.
- Bacterial Strains
- Study Results
- Increases broad-spectrum UV-absorbing properties of consumer products
- Provides a safe, natural alternative to chemicals that may negatively impact human health and the environment
- Testing was conducted using a 96 well microtiter plate reader,and confirmed via third party using a Shimadzu UV-3600 UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer. Bacillus Lysate samples were suspended in diH2O.
- Oxybenzone concentration is the FDA-established limit as an additive to skin care products.
- In vivo SPF boosting of Bacillus Lysate when added to a sun- screen containing octocrylene, homosalate & avobenzone.
- 3.5% Bacillus Lysate Boosts SPF >50%
- 7.0% Bacillus Lysate Boosts SPF >75%
