Microbial extract from Finnish nature helps those suffering from atopic dermatitis
Finnish biotechnology startup Uute Scientific has published a new study investigating the effect of a microbial extract that provides exposure to nature on atopic skin.
The study involved 142 volunteers with atopic dermatitis, half of whom received a placebo cream and half a cream containing Re-Connecting NatureTM microbial extract. This is the world's first product containing natural exposure that mimics the biodiversity of Finnish nature. The study is led by researchers at Uute Scientific. The study is part of the doctoral theses of the Universities of Tampere and Helsinki. The test creams in the study (cream containing microbial extract or colored placebo cream)
used as part of normal life for about seven months. (Uute Scientific press release 3/2024)

“This is a truly significant, historic study that has scientifically proven the positive impact of natural microbes in the treatment of serious illness. We start with atopy, but many other immune-mediated diseases, such as allergies, asthma, Parkinson's or even Alzheimer's disease, can also benefit from microbial extract,” says Kari Sinivuori, CEO and founding member of Uute Scientific.
