New hope for acne: The power of iris and Czech research
Acne – a problem that affects not only teenagers but also adults. This unpleasant skin problem is caused mainly by excessive sebum production, inflammation and the action of bacteria such as Cutibacterium acnes . When pores are clogged due to excess sebum and dead skin cells, the bacteria C. acnes multiply rapidly in this environment and trigger an inflammatory reaction. The result is red and irritated skin dotted with pimples and boils.
Balancing the skin microbiome to suppress acne
The balance of the skin microbiome plays a key role in this process. If the microbiome is disrupted, harmful bacteria can prevail and acne symptoms worsen. The fight against acne therefore lies in both suppressing bacteria and supporting the skin's natural balance. It is in this regard that Czech research comes to the scene with an innovative solution - the bioactive iris extract NeoActine™ IRIS .
Irises – a treasure of Czech nature with bioactive substances
The Institute of Botany of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic in Průhonice owns one of the largest collections of irises in the world. This collection includes more than 1,500 species and varieties, of which 150 with the highest content of bioactive substances were selected for research. Czech research led by Associate Professor Ing. Petr Kaštánek, PhD. revealed that extracts from three specific iris varieties studied have significant antibacterial, soothing and antioxidant effects. This discovery led to the development of the original active ingredient NeoActine™ IRIS , which:
- Suppresses the growth of Cutibacterium acnes
- Soothes irritated skin
- It has an antioxidant effect and protects the skin from damage by free radicals.
- It disrupts quorum sensing – a method of bacterial communication that leads to the formation of biofilms and inflammation.
Sustainable approach to bioactive substance production
Iris research also focuses on organic cultivation. Thanks to the use of symbiotic microscopic fungi, the production of bioactive substances in plants has been significantly increased. This innovative approach ensures not only high efficiency of extracts, but also environmental friendliness.
