There is more to your skin than your eyes can see. The skin microbiome is the natural community of microorganisms that lives on the skin.
This delicate ecosystem is part of the skin's natural balance and can be influenced by everyday factors such as cleansing, moisture, skincare products and the environment.
And just as our skin changes throughout life, its microbiome can change too.
Good to know: Caring for skin also means being mindful of the tiny ecosystem that naturally lives there.
Baby and child skin is thinner and more delicate than adult skin because it is still developing. During the first years of life, both the skin barrier and the skin microbiome continue to mature, and the skin can be more sensitive and prone to dryness.
Everyday experiences — from bathing and clothing to cuddles, the environment and skincare — are all part of a baby’s world. Gentle everyday care is especially important during these early years.
Baby skin is made for everyday life — cuddles, kisses, bath time and discovering the world. Caring for it can be simple: a few gentle everyday choices can make all the difference.

Baby skin is developing every day. The goal isn’t to protect it from the world, but to treat it gently.
Caring for delicate skin doesn’t have to mean doing more. It means choosing thoughtfully. When delicate skin needs care, gentle formulas, carefully selected ingredients and a simple routine are a good place to start.
Microbiome-conscious skincare keeps the skin’s natural ecosystem in mind, with products designed to care for the skin without unnecessary disruption. Rather than adding more steps, it means being mindful of the products we use on the skin and how we use them.
Probiotic skincare, using live bacteria in the formulation, is one example of this approach.
BioGaia is known for over 30 years of probiotic research and experience with live bacteria. Working with live bacteria requires specific knowledge, from selecting and handling the bacteria to keeping them viable in a formulation.
This expertise has also shaped BioGaia’s approach to skincare. With Aldermis®, BioGaia brought its expertise to skincare through a formula containing live L. reuteri DSM 17938 (Protectis®). Aldermis® probiotic ointment has a simple, water-free formula with only four carefully selected ingredients and is specially designed for the needs of dry, sensitive and atopic-prone skin in babies and young children.
