Previous research has concluded that human skin has its own complex ecosystem of bacteria and other microorganisms that serve as its healthy foundation. Similar to what was found in the gut, human skin, the body’s largest organ, needs these bacteria to function optimally. These bacterial communities also retain a unique signature depending on location, age, sex, and interaction with the environment. Very little is known about the exact factors that contribute to the particularly variable bacterial communities of the skin, and their impact on the aging process.
The partnership with Dr. Gilbert is just the latest example of Mary Kay’s efforts to reinforce the brand’s long-standing commitment to advancing healthcare research and development. skin. Mary Kay’s global portfolio includes more than 1,600 patents for products, technologies and packaging designs.
