BIOECOLIA

BIOECOLIA, a prebiotic for the skin microbiome

BIOECOLIA is a prebiotic cosmetic active from Solabia. Its INCI is Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide, made by enzymatic synthesis from natural sugars, sucrose and maltose. It feeds the beneficial bacteria on the skin and scalp in a selective way, so products with it are positioned to keep the skin's natural balance and a healthy-looking, comfortable skin. Buy BIOECOLIA from a 10 g trial for $9.99 and scale up to bulk packs up to 1 kg; wholesale quotes are available.

Where it is used

Solabia lists daily care for all skin types, baby and child care, dry skin, sensitive-feeling skin, products for blemish-prone-looking skin, intimate hygiene products and hair care such as shampoos for a flaky-looking scalp. The use level is about 0.5 to 5%, and it is preservative-free, COSMOS approved and over 95% natural origin.

Pairing with other gentle actives

In a balancing cleanser or toner, pair it with zinc PCA; in a comforting cream, with allantoin. More microbiome and soothing actives are in our cosmetic actives section.

Processing

BIOECOLIA is water soluble and stable across a wide pH range. Dissolve it at room temperature, or add it below about 45 °C if the process uses heat. It ships from Florida, usually within 1 to 2 business days, in the pack sizes shown above, and US shipping is free on orders of $35 or more.
