lipids, and carefully selected preservative combinations have demonstrated the ability to significantly enhance microbial diversity, accelerate recovery from perturbations, and suppress opportunistic pathogens without broad antibacterial effects. Therefore, the intentional design of certified,
microbiome-friendly cosmetics is an essential step towards supporting skin resilience and optimizing the health of the entire metaorganism.
