The microbiota is the sum of all bacteria, fungi and arthropods that live in and on everything that composes an ecosystem.

The human being itself is an ecosystem, in fact the role of the human microbiome in health and disease has been recognised in recent years.

Look at our introductiory presentation!

COMPLIFE offers safety and efficacy testing both in vivo and in vitro to the cosmetic industry and everyday more of our clients are interested in developing products that respect or improves the skin microbiome.

For this reason our R&D team, also located at CAAD – Centre for Autoimmune and Allergic Diseases – University of Piemonte Orientale in Novara, decided to investigate in detail the structure and composition of the basal bacterial community of the face.

What are the factors that influence microbiota?

Read our Study about Healthy Skin Microbiota of the Human Face (2022).

Due to the increasing interest about Microbioma, in 2023 our research team decided to deepen this topic with a relevant publication in a high impact factor journal: MICROORGANISM BY MDPI.

The study focused on the influence of sex in the structure and composition of the basal bacterial community of the face.
