Technical Details & Test Data

Mechanism of Action: Bioecolia® is a recognized prebiotic dedicated to the preservation of the protective ecosystem (microbiota) of the skin, mucous membranes and scalp:

it stimulates, in a bioselective way, the development of the beneficial flora to the detriment of pathogenic and undesirable flora.

it stimulates the production of anti-microbial peptides, key immunological markers, essential for maintaining microbial balance.

Usually the effect of glucooligosaccharides is limited to this bioselectivity only. The research of the Solabia group has detected and patented these molecules, and in particular Bioecolia^®, which could also have immunostimulant properties that favor the expression and synthesis of anti-microbial peptides in the skin.

This capacity can be explained by several hypotheses and routes:
- they activate the capacity of commensal bacteria to induce the expression of anti-microbial peptides via the stimulation of the development of the beneficial Ecoflora.
- they induce the expression of anti-microbial peptides via the interaction with keratinocyte immunologic receptors
- they constitute a cell-cell communication path, via the binding of keratinocyte membrane lectins, which is capable of activating signalization paths that could lead to the production of anti-microbial antibodies.
