Evaluation of the effect of an extract of Sphingomonas xenophaga present in a Thermal Spring Water in the management of sensitive skin associated with cutaneous vascular disorder

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Inhibition of the kallikrein‐kinin system is a potential approach to the dermocosmetic treatment of skin disorders associated with redness. We showed that a cream formulation with a Sphingomonas ferment extract inhibiting this system was effective in improving vascular disorder after repeated application in female volunteers with sensitive and reactive
