BLOSSOM MICROBIOTICS

Evidence-led, microbial active ingredients for sensitive skin and scalp applications.

Blossom Microbiotics develops proprietary microbial-derived dermocosmetic active ingredients, grounded in clinical & scientific research, for partners building products for sensitive, reactive, barrier-stressed skin and scalp.

THE PLATFORM

A proprietary dermocosmetic active platform

Postbiotic active powder for dermocosmetics

IntegraBiome Technology

Blossom’s proprietary fermentation and compositional-integration platform uses defined microbial strains and controlled postbiotic processing to create intentionally designed dermocosmetic active systems.

Focus Areas

Sensitive & reactive skin

Barrier-stressed skin where comfort, hydration, and visible skin condition matter.

Sebum-rich areas

Facial and scalp zones where excess sebum, visible flakes, and discomfort often overlap.

Scalp

Scalp-focused products supporting a calmer, more balanced scalp and reduced visible flaking.

Blossom ingredient systems can be evaluated as active powder/materials or through prototype cream and serum formats, with supporting technical substantiation materials and application/formulation guidance. 

Additional active programs are in development.

THE EVIDENCE

Built on human clinical evidence, not just lab signals.

Lead active: BMB ZymoCore™

BMB ZymoCore™ is a multi-component postbiotic active developed using IntegraBiome Technology and evaluated in registered, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human studies involving barrier-stressed skin and sebum-rich skin and scalp areas.

Publicly registered on ClinicalTrials.gov

What we measure: skin, sebum-rich areas & scalp

​Barrier function · Hydration · Skin texture, roughness & smoothness · Sebum level · Redness · Visible flakes & scalp condition · Skin & scalp comfort · Tolerability · Microbiome analysis · Biomarker signals (where relevant)

Human clinical skin barrier testing

Supporting clinical and technical information is available for qualified partner discussions.

WHY BLOSSOM

Why Blossom is different

A claims story your teams can stand behind

 

Defined composition + controlled processing + safety & tolerability testing + human clinical evidence = a substantiation story your formulation, claims, innovation and product development teams can trust.

Skin microbiome and barrier science

Defined & reproducible -not a generic ferment

Characterized wild-type microbial strains and controlled postbiotic processing, support teh development of reproducible active systems.

Designed around skin biology

Sensitive skin/scalp concerns are rarely driven by a single pathway. Blossom’s platform is designed around three connected dimensions: microbiome-associated biology, inflammatory signaling, and barrier resilience; the biology behind calmer, healthier, better-protected skin.​​​

Human clinical evidence - not ingredient storytelling

Registered, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human studies supported by validated clinical scoring, instrument-based endpoints & molecular/ biomarker analysis.

Flexible B2B evaluation & product development

Substantiation materials, technical support, prototype formats, and application/formulation guidance, to show how the active may perform in finished product concepts.

ABOUT

A short founder note

I am Veena Unnithan, Ph.D., PMP,  a microbiology scientist with more than a decade of industry experience developing microbial solutions across different applications and real-world challenges.

I founded Blossom Microbiotics from both scientific conviction and personal need: as a mother looking for a better, evidence-based option for my son’s sensitive, reactive skin, and as a scientist who believes the potential of microbes and the microbiome is still largely untapped, especially in skin/scalp health.

Blossom is built around a simple principle: microbiome-centered dermocosmetic active ingredients should be clinically evaluated, well-defined,  safety-conscious, and developed with science before marketing.

My goal is to build ingredient systems that partner teams can evaluate with confidence for sensitive & barrier-stressed skin and scalp applications.
