New Amway Research Provides Insights into Skin Microbiome

BY DSN Staff | December 08, 2017 | read / Daily News

Recently, Amway Corp., in collaboration with Microbiome Insights Inc., presented results from two independent epidemiology studies at Happi’s Anti-Aging Conference & Tabletop Exhibition, an annual conference that attracts anti-aging industry experts and suppliers. The research team comprised of scientists from both companies has identified two species of Corynebacterium, a genus of bacteria, as potential targets to improve skin appearance.

The first study enrolled 495 normal healthy men and women ranging in age from 9 to 78. The researchers combined their science talents in cosmetics and microbiome—an organism’s microbe community—and discovered two Corynebacterium species, one associated with younger people and the other with older people. The “old skin” Corynebacterium species tended to displace the other during middle age (ages 40–49). Interestingly, the two bacteria were found to be co-exclusive, meaning they did not exist simultaneously at the same skin site.

The researchers then conducted a follow-up study in 155 healthy men and women to see if they could repeat the results of the first study. The second study yielded the same results and confirmed the original observations. Furthermore, in addition to being associated with chronological age, the “old skin” Cornyebacterium was found to be associated with skin redness, wrinkles and age spots, suggesting it could be a target for treatment intervention.

The two companies are working together to better understand the importance of this novel finding. These new insights not only contribute to the scientific community’s general understanding of the microbiome, but will also have implications for consumer products that benefit human health and wellness.

“We are following up on this new, exciting insight into skin aging and the microbiome,” said Dr. Greg Hillebrand, Senior Principal Scientist at Amway Corporation. “While much more work needs to be done, there may be an opportunity to help improve skin appearance in otherwise normal, healthy people based on skin microbiome science.”

Malcolm Kendall, CEO and Co-Founder of Microbiome Insights Inc. said, “Our partnership with Amway has been a perfect example of what a true partnership should be, where both parties bring something to the table. Together, we are leveraging our deep experience in the microbiome to deliver new innovations more quickly and efficiently in skin and cosmetic science. Our team is committed to working with Amway to unravel the role of the microbiome in skin-aging and applying the findings to developing consumer products that benefit human health and wellness.”

Full data from Amway’s Microbiome Initiative research are expected to be published in 2018.
