To answer this question, our discovery that ‘biodiversity is the only reliable indicator of the health of skin’, was published in 2017.
We noticed that a high biodiversity corresponded to healthier ecosystems all across nature. And the skin is no different.
"From the plains of Yellowstone Park (macro) right down to a millimetre of tubing in the human gut (micro),..."
"...a decreased biodiversity negatively impacts on the ecosystem..."
"...a decreased biodiversity negatively impacts on the ecosystem..."
Many scientists tried to link certain types of microbe to healthy or damaged skin.
However, there is “little conclusive evidence that healthy or unhealthy skin is determined by the presence” of specific microbes.
In future blogs, we will go into more depth, and answer questions such as “what is Biodiversity?”.
