Healthy microbiome, healthy skin
The skin microbiome is the ecosystem of trillions of microorganisms living on the skin’s surface. As the body’s first line of defence, this microscopic world plays a key role in protecting our skin from infection, moisture loss and environmental stressors.
“We always try to develop new technologies which are relevant to consumers’ needs, so the new Z‑biome™ platform helps address the desire to protect the skin microbiome as well as enhancing overall wellbeing. We’re very proud of developing these new technologies that are in line with our purpose of creating for happier, healthier lives, with love for nature.”

Fragrance design based on creative intelligence
Developing the Z‑biome™ fragrance technologies involved years of multi-disciplinary research. Firstly, our Science and Technology team tested many different perfumery ingredients to measure their impact on the skin’s most common bacteria population. We then built on these findings using the creativity and expertise of our highly skilled team of perfumers.
