What It Does

This specific probiotic blend combines two clinically studied spore-forming bacterial strains: Bacillus coagulans GBI-30 6086 (trademarked as GanedenBC30) and Bacillus subtilis DE111, both produced via controlled fermentation and stabilized in their dormant spore form for cosmetic use. The spore format is what makes this blend particularly valuable to formulators, as it confers exceptional stability compared to non-spore-forming probiotics, surviving a wide range of temperatures, pH conditions, and typical preservation systems at low concentrations. Applied topically, these strains are selected for their ability to support the skin's microbiome balance, reinforce the skin barrier, and modulate surface inflammatory signals, making the blend a compelling active for microbiome-friendly and barrier-repair formulations.

Ingredient Compatibility

Known Interactions

POTASSIUM SORBATEIncompatibleDegradation

Potassium Sorbate is an antimicrobial preservative that will kill probiotic organisms. Never use antimicrobial preservatives in probiotic formulations.

SODIUM BENZOATEIncompatibleDegradation

Sodium Benzoate is an antimicrobial preservative that will kill probiotic organisms. Never use antimicrobial preservatives in probiotic formulations.

CITRIC ACIDUse CautionDegradation

High concentrations of Citric Acid (pH < 3.5) can kill acid-sensitive probiotic strains (Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium) during shelf life. Use acid-resistant strains or enteric coating if combining.
