The Human Microbiome – Key to Health

As humans, our bodies are a host to an ecosystem of millions of micro-organisms; bacteria, fungi, viruses and other microbes collectively called the human microbiome. Though it all sounds unpleasant, they are not all harmful. In fact, science tells us that a balance between good and bad microbes is the key to a healthy human body.

In the case of atopic dermatitis or eczema, a significant presence of a bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is found to directly affect the severity of eczema symptoms. Studies have shown that disruption in the microbiome balance may cause the following:

• a compromise of the skin’s natural immune response
• increased bacterial adhesion
• disrupted skin barrier function

Double Action for Double Hydration

ROSKEN AD Probiotic Cream is formulated with Probiotics to restore the skin microbiome. Introducing good bacteria* to the affected area improves skin barrier function- our skin’s first line of defence against external aggressors. The fibres and cellulose in Colloidal Oatmeal act as a natural emulsifier that binds and locks in moisture to provide almost-immediate relief to the skin. In addition to that, it helps keep pathogens (disease-causing bacteria) from entering the skin and preserves the skin’s natural pH levels.

This power couple of Probiotics and Colloidal Oatmeal improves the skin’s natural barrier function and soothes irritated skin hand-in-hand, providing eczema sufferers with doubled hydration in just 2 hours.
