Lactobacillus crispatus microbial strains: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Microbial instability and poor solubility of bioactive lipids limit the shelf-life and efficacy of topical treatments. This lever engineers specific bacterial-lipid synergies to stabilize the delivery of therapeutic compounds.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Lactobacillus crispatus microbial strains?

Environmental skin stress degradation

(13)evidences

Environmental stressors and aging cause structural breakdown of the dermal layer. Preventing this deterioration maintains skin integrity and aesthetic appearance.

Microbial dysbiosis and virulence

(7)evidences

Impaired epidermal integrity and moisture loss. Restoring the biological barrier prevents inflammatory dermatological conditions and environmental damage.

Unstable topical active delivery

(5)evidences

Structural breakdown of the skin and mucous membrane support tissues leads to loss of integrity. Restoring this matrix prevents tissue aging and functional decline.
