ProBiocin V is a clear to slightly hazy, water-soluble liquid obtained through the fermentation of Lactobacillus acidophilus supplemented with chicory oligosaccharide fructans. The process uses lysozyme-facilitated cell lysis to release potent postbiotic bacteriocin peptides. It is a multifunctional active designed for “treatment-first” formulations that require both antimicrobial protection and clinically proven skin-soothing benefits.
Key Features & Technical Benefits
-
Scalp Care Specialist: MIC testing against Malassezia furfur (the yeast associated with dandruff) shows performance comparable to Piroctone Olamine and superior to Climbazole.
-
Clinically Proven Redness Reduction: VISIA® complexion analysis over 6 weeks demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in “red area feature counts.” Regression data confirms the effect is a genuine treatment rather than a temporary artifact.
-
Scalp Health Improvement: In-vivo salon studies in shampoo and conditioner formats showed a “dramatic increase” in scalp moisturization and a significant decrease in erythema (redness).
-
Prebiotic Synergy: The use of chicory fructans in the growth medium ensures a high-quality lysate rich in metabolites that support a healthy skin microbiome.
