“…In the pathways that are modulated in a neuroendocrine-based system as cited in the previous section of the article, we can appreciate how this connection is possible. Vibration science [ 33 ] interconnects the ancient philosophy of interconnectivity of all living organisms through energy and it would be fascinating to explore the possibilities of altering the microbiome to influence emotions, especially through cosmetics that can trigger local neuroendocrine pathways or perhaps vibrational healing methods like reiki or sound vibration [ 27 ]. Another field of study for understanding the skin–brain axis could be in assessing any impact of meditations and mindfulness in the change of the surface microbiome and looking for changes or improvement in skin conditions or skin aging.…”
Section: Conclusion and Future Perspective: The Cosmetic Microbiome And Rmentioning
Recent advances in our understanding of the function of the skin and its microbiome have shown that there is a strong symbiotic relationship between the microbiota of the skin and its host immune functions. The dysbiosis or imbalance of the microbiome and other factors that have an influence on the surface microbiota can influence keratinocyte regulation and homeostasis as well as the skin barrier function. In this perspective paper, we review the evidence that connects the skin's microbiome and the barrier function of the epidermis and explore the future potential for applying this unique dialogue in developing innovative cosmetics and transdermal drugs for wellbeing and beauty.
“…Ayurveda and Siddha medicine have used potent natural herbs to treat many ailments. These ancient medical systems that originated perhaps five thousand years ago in India, believe that a harmonious state of being is achieved when the personal constitution, or Dosha, is balanced with its surroundings [18]. An interrelationship is postulated between personal composition (also known as the "Dosha") and the environment.…”

“…An interrelationship is postulated between personal composition (also known as the "Dosha") and the environment. It is interesting to consider the similarities of this concept with that of the microbiome and host [1,18]. Recent research in herbal medicine, although limited, has shown the effects of plant botanical on keratinocyte proliferation, the reduction of inflammation, and the stimulation of wound healing [19,20].…”
Section: Plant Botanicals That Affect Gut and Skinmentioning
The microbiome of the gut and skin have recently been shown to have a strong connection through the host immune system. Various skin and gut inflammatory conditions are interrelated and connected through intricate immune pathways that affect the host barrier functions both in the skin and the gut. Microbiome 'dysbiosis' of the skin and gut leads to various alterations in host immune pathways that can alter the barrier and lead to disease. In this perspective article, we discuss the role of plant botanicals in cosmetics and their effect on the skin-gut-brain axis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
