Symrise is working with the Swedish probiotic specialist Probi to develop microbial ingredients for cosmetics. The German fragrance and cosmetic ingredient maker owns a majority stake in Probi, and the two have conducted research on probiotics for oral-health applications since 2012. Now they are developing Lactobacilli strains to strengthen the skin barrier. Other ingredient makers, including BASF, DSM, and Givaudan, have also been investing in microbiome-inspired ingredients for skin care.
