Microbiome impact

Pick one ingredient (a plant, alga, fungus or peptide) or type a whole formula, then choose a skin site. Four tracks come back side by side and never blended: what the literature reports for an ingredient against named taxa, the predicted pressure on each resident organism, a peptide's own measured MIC where the AMP catalog has one, and who lives at the site you pick. No combined score is emitted, because every published way of collapsing these rows into one number is a rubric.

One plant, alga, fungus or peptide. A source is expanded into its catalogued compounds; a peptide is looked up in the antimicrobial peptide (AMP) catalog.

The four colours mark four body regions. None of them ranks anything.

The map shows typical site-associated communities from published skin surveys. Abundances are literature estimates, cited per organism above, and no part of this figure measures your skin or the formula on screen. The back view holds the two regions missing from a front view: upper back, in the sebaceous group, and buttock, in the dry group.

The curated knowledge base, browsable

Every ingredient–flora statement this app holds, with its citation. The assessment above shows only the rows matching what you assess; this table answers “what does the app know” before you choose. An effect class is a curator's label, not a measurement: the citation is what lets you check it.
