Abstract

|
Microbiome, also referred as metagenome of the microbiota, comprises all of the genetic material within a microbiota (the entire collection of microorganisms in a specific niche, such as the human gut). Owing to the great evolution of gene analysis technology, in terms of cost and accuracy, metagenome analysis of human derived samples and their statistical analysis became quite popular in nearly every fields of health industry. Since the first identification of potential relationship between microbial diversity and disease severity in atopic dermatitis, skin microbiome has been an important and attractive target in dermatological research. Initiated as an effort to develop new ingredients for either acne or acne-prone skin, skin microbiome research in cosmetic industry keeps expanding into nearly every area such as anti-aging and sensitive skin. Another important merits of skin microbiome in cosmetic application is the possibility of enormous diversity based on each individual’s micro-environment, life-style, and physical and psychological health status, which can support the concept of personalized cosmetics. With the increasing interests, however, practical application of skin microbiome in cosmetics is not yet available. In this review, current status of microbiome research in cosmetic industry and perspectives will be briefly discussed. Also, metabolomics-based interpretation of skin microbiome will be also suggested.
