We examined the synergistic effects of natural plant extracts, particularly oregano essential oil, and probiotics on skin conditions like acne and eczema. Our study involved various probiotic strains and extracts to assess their potential to combat common skin pathogens associated with these ailments. Notably, we found that oregano essential oil displayed strong antibacterial properties, making it a promising option for managing infections linked to eczema.
We incorporated oregano oil at a concentration of 30% into probiotic-infused topical patches, leading to impressive antimicrobial effects. In our tests, these patches not only suppressed skin pathogens effectively but also significantly outperformed conventional acne treatments. The patches containing oregano oil resulted in inhibition zones over ten times larger, highlighting its enhanced efficacy. This combination approach of using oregano oil with probiotics could lead to a more effective treatment for eczema patients, as it addresses both symptoms and underlying infections.
Our genomic analysis also reassured us that the probiotics used in the patches have no antimicrobial resistance determinants, ensuring they are safe to use. This study opens new avenues for developing more effective skincare solutions that harness the power of nature.
