Teflose® is a polysaccharide obtained by bacterial fermentation with a branched sequence rich in rhamnose, glucose, and glucuronic acid. Its unique mode of action targets adhesion, biofilms, and bacterial virulence, maintaining the balance of the microbiome by preventing the hyperproliferation of certain types of bacteria responsible for dysbiosis (i.e., imbalances).

Technical Details & Test Data

Mechanism of Action

Teflose® is an exclusive MICROBIOTE :

  • Thanks to its unique mode of action, targeting adhesion, biofilms and bacterial virulence, Teflose® maintains the balance of the microbiotaby preventing the hyperproliferation of certain types of bacteria responsible for dysbiosis (ie imbalances).
  • Thanks to its high rhamnose content (60%), Teflose® also draws ahigh anti-inflammatory and soothing power .


This is how skin problems that have their origin in the imbalance of the microbiota and/or inflammation, such as acne, atopic dermatitis or even the development of odors, can be regulated or prevented effectively.
