Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that help outcompete harmful bacteria

Prebiotics are a natural food source for Probiotics

Synbiotics are the combination of Probiotics and Prebiotics

Oral probiotics are good bacteria that are taken orally to combat harmful bacteria in the gut.

Topical probiotics are good bacteria applied to skin or surfaces to combat harmful bacteria.

Just like our gut relies on billions of good bacteria so does our skin. Good bacteria is there to keep harmful bacteria at bay ensuring a healthy ecosystem. This elaborate ecosystem is called the skin biome.

All Probacare probiotics are of natural origin and not GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms). They are the same organisms used in Probiotic Yoghurts and Probiotic Energy drinks. They are classified in Biosafety Level 1 (ATCC) and are on the QPS list (EFSA). These official classifications guarantee that Probacare uses only 100% safe probiotics.

Probacare probiotic products are rooted in nature and scientifically researched. Here is an overview:

OECD tests

OECD403- Toxicity: A test to screen probiotics for inhalation .

OECD404 - skin irritation: A test to screen whether the probiotics irritate skin.

OECD405 - eye irritation: A test to screen whether the probiotics irritate the eye.

OECD406 – skin sensation: A test to screen whether the probiotics affect skin structure

All Probacare probiotics passed the above tests and did not demonstrate any negative effect.

Good and bad bacteria both need food (organic matter) to exist and whichever is the greater in population will eventually outcompete the other by depleting the food source – (known as Gause’s Law of Competitive Exclusion).

The shelf life of the various products vary as follows:

2 Year Shelf Life

Probiotic All-Purpose Cleaner

3 Year Shelf Life

Skin Creams, Cleansers, Body washes, Soap Bars,

4 Year Shelf Life

Probiotic Sprays

The products are so gentle that you do not need to use gloves, masks or protective aprons when using them. Our products are not harmful to the skin and pose no risk to humans or animals. Probacare probiotics aren’t just environmentally friendly, they are environmentally positive.

Absolutely, Probacare makes use of different strains of Bacillus which has distinct advantages over Lactobacillus which include wider temperature and PH operating variations.

The probiotics in our products can be spoiled if they get contaminated with organic matter. It is important to keep the products in the packaging that the products get sold in. The risk of contamination is however low.
