PROBIOCIN V®
Background:
PROBIOCIN V® is a trademark of Active Micro Technologies and harnesses the benefits of prebiotic oligosaccharides to offer a competitive edge to commensal microorganisms in their natural ecosystem. This optimized production method of supplementing the growth media aids in the production of postbiotic bacteriocin peptides, capable of delivering moisturizing and redness reduction benefits to soothe an irritated scalp.
Consumer concerns regarding the use of synthetic preservative systems, such as parabens, formaldehyde donors and phenoxyethanol3, have pushed formulators to seek out alternative means of preservation that can provide broad spectrum antimicrobial protection and a multifunctional activity. Consumers often perceive traditional preservative systems as being associated with sensitization4. ProBiocin V® is a technology able to diminish these concerns, while providing efficacious benefits against scalp irritation. The produced bacteriocin peptides are also capable of providing broad spectrum antimicrobial protection in order to maintain the integrity of the formulation. ProBiocin V® acts as a multifunctional system that boosts preservation while delivering soothing benefits to the scalp. ProBiocin V® is also vegan and compliant in many global markets.
Benefits:
Acting as a multifunctional system that boosts preservation while delivering soothing benefits to the scalp, ProBiocin V® utilizes the properties of prebiotic oligosaccharides as an approach to postbiotic bacteriocin procurement to deliver scalp moisturization and redness reduction.

Formulation Guidelines: ProBiocin V® can be used in a wide range of cosmetic products, however to ensure optimum results we recommend using the following guidelines. Incorporate the product into formulations at a pH between 3 and 8, during the cooling phase of the process at temperatures lower than 40°C. Please refer to our Formulation Guidance on the bottom of this page.
DO NOT FREEZE; Store at or near room temperature;
May sediment upon standing; Mix well prior to use
Product may change appearance if exposed to cold temperatures during shipment or storage.
If this happens, please gently warm to 45-50°C and mix until normal appearance is restored.
Manufacturing Procedure (Laboratory Scale)
Emulsion Systems:
1. Incorporate ProBiocin V® near the end of the formulating process and after the formulation has cooled to below 40°C.
Surfactant Systems:
ProBiocin V® has excellent compatibility in cationic, amphoteric, and nonionic surfactant systems when added towards the end of the formulating process after the formulation has cooled to below 40°C.
In anionic surfactant systems, add ProBiocin V® after the anionic surfactant. Incorporate a thickening agent if a loss in viscosity is observed.
Gel/Aqueous Systems:
ProBiocin V® has excellent compatibility in cationic and nonionic gel/aqueous systems when added towards the end of the formulating process after the formulation has cooled to below 40°C.
The cationic nature of ProBiocin V®makes the main formulating concern incompatibility with highly anionic thickeners. In anionic systems, a change in order of addition may best resolve incompatibility. See Formulation Advice below for more information on specific anionic thickeners.
