LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR SUSTAINABLE PENTYLENE GLYCOL SymReboot™ L19 SymReboot™ L19 opens up new horizons for cosmetics manufacturers of skin care products with probiotic-based ingredients. Symrise researchers have succeeded in maintaining the bacterial structure throughout the manufacturing process and thus preserving important benefits for the skin. SymReboot™ L19 takes full effect also in creams and lotions that contain ingredients to protect the product. The skin cells recognize the cell-wall or metabolites of the mildly heat-treated microorganisms, thus activating the skin’s natural defense mechanisms and thereby soothing the skin and strengthening the skin barrier. This makes SymReboot™ L19 the booster of skin’s instinctive defenses. The benefits of SymReboot™ L19 have been tested and substantiated in vivo, and an extensive series of scientifically based in vitro tests was performed.
