FAQs

What are probiotics in skincare?

The use of live, beneficial bacteria — like L. reuteri DSM 17938 — to balance the skin microbiome, reduce inflammation, and strengthen the skin barrier. Unlike conventional products that sit on the surface, probiotic skincare works within the skin's microbiome.

Is BioGaia ointment safe for newborns?

Yes. Our probiotic skincare is clinically studied, dermatologically tested, and classified as a non-irritant. It is 100% steroid-free and made with gentle, plant-based oils, making it safe for daily use from day one.

Why should my baby start a skincare routine so early?

A child's skin microbiome isn't fully established until around age 3 to 4 — making these early years a critical window. Protecting and nurturing it now builds the foundation for healthier, more resilient skin later on.

What should I expect after using the probiotic skincare?

Instant comfort and smoother-feeling skin from the first use, with moisturising effects clinically measured to last up to 8 hours. With regular use, skin becomes more resilient, better protected, and less prone to irritation over time.

How long do skin probiotics take to work?

Visible improvements in skin appearance are typically observed within one month of regular use, based on before-and-after user cases. Individual results may vary.

Who should use oral probiotics?

Oral probiotics are ideal for anyone experiencing bad breath, sensitive or bleeding gums, or those looking for a natural way to support their oral health every day.

Can Biogaia probiotic ointment be used for eczema?

Yes. Eczema-prone skin often has a weakened barrier and an imbalanced microbiome. BioGaia helps replenish the good bacteria and strengthen the skin barrier, making it more resilient against everyday triggers that cause flare-ups and itching
For persistent or severe eczema, please consult your paediatrician or dermatologist.

Does the ointment feel greasy on the skin?

No. This plant-based cream absorbs gently into the skin, leaving it nourished without a heavy, greasy finish.

Where can I apply this probiotic ointment?

Anywhere from head to toe. It is ideal for dry cheeks, irritated chins, elbows, knees, or the nappy area.

Does it contain any fragrance?

No. BioGaia skincare cream is formulated without synthetic fragrances, parabens, or phthalates to ensure maximum gentleness on sensitive skin.

Is it only for babies, or can adults use it too?

Adults can also benefit from BioGaia probiotic ointment. Though formulated for delicate baby skin, the clean, plant-based, steroid-free formula is gentle enough for sensitive adult skin.

What other BioGaia probiotics are also suitable for babies?

Beyond skincare, we offer comprehensive gut health support designed for your baby's first years:

• BioGaia Probiotic Drops: For daily colic, reflux, and digestive comfort.
• BioGaia Probiotic Drops with Vitamin D3: For added immune defence and bone development — especially beneficial for breastfed babies.
