Is Sanex Zero% Antibacterial?

What is microbiome?

It’s helpful first to understand what bacteria is, as far as your skin’s concerned. You might find it surprising that certain bacteria found on your skin are vital to maintaining a healthy, balanced skin microbiome. 

Read on to find out more about the important role your skin microbiome plays and how the Sanex Zero% and BiomeProtect ranges of shower gels and deodorants respect both your skin and your skin microbiome.

Sanex Zero% and your skin microbiome

Sanex Zero% has been developed with skin experts and dermatologically tested to work together with your skin to promote its natural functions. One of the most important of which is the natural function performed by your skin microbiome, that’s made up of billions of tiny microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, mites and viruses.

These microorganisms work together with your immune system to help prevent problems like skin infections. So, it’s important to work with and maintain these healthy bacteria. It’s worth bearing this in mind when considering products such as antibacterial shower gels, antibacterial body washes and antibacterial soaps.
