**HYDRA BIOTICS™ – Plant-Based Probiotics from Jeju Hydrangea
A Solution for Microbiome Balance & Stronger Skin Barrier**
1. INTRODUCTION
Hydra Biotics™ is a unique plant-derived probiotic active ingredient extracted from Hydrangea flowers—famous for their ability to “intelligently adapt” to environmental changes. Leveraging the flower’s natural biological mechanisms, Hydra Biotics™ helps rebuild a healthy skin microbiome, supports the skin barrier, and enhances recovery and resilience.
Hydrangeas naturally possess a symbiotic microbiome that protects them from pathogens, shields floral tissues, and maintains moisture. Hydra Biotics™ inherits this biological intelligence to deliver advanced skin benefits.
2. ORIGIN
Jeju Hydrangea – Resilient Life on Hallasan Mountain**
– Jeju hydrangeas thrive on the volcanic terrain of Hallasan, an environment shaped by harsh sea winds, salt exposure, and high humidity.
– The rainy season (June–July) is the peak blooming period—symbolizing powerful growth in moisture-rich conditions, similar to how skin thrives when its moisture and microbiome are balanced.
A Natural Environment that Cultivates a Symbiotic Probiotic System
– The petals, nectar glands, and pollen of the Jeju Hydrangea create a friendly habitat for beneficial lactic acid bacteria, allowing them to colonize and coexist.
– These bacteria:
+) Inhibit pathogens and block harmful bacteria.
+) Produce protective bioactive compounds under stress, including organic acids and natural enzymes.
+) Maintain a natural antibacterial barrier that protects the flower surface.
Isolation of a Native Probiotic Strain from Jeju Hydrangea
These symbiotic live probiotics are isolated and cultured under controlled conditions to produce Hydra Biotics™—a rare, safe, and bioactive plant-based probiotic ingredient.
3. KEY ACTIVE COMPONENTS – THREE PRIMARY ORGANIC ACIDS
After culturing the probiotic strain CS-MG4 from Jeju Hydrangea, three essential organic acids were isolated:
*Lactic Acid – Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF)
– A naturally occurring component in human skin.
– Helps retain moisture, soften skin, and support corneocyte cohesion.
– Enhances skin barrier function and reduces dryness and flaking.
*Citric Acid – pH Regulation & Inhibition of Harmful Microorganisms
– Balances skin pH to a healthy physiological level.
– Creates an unfavorable environment for acne-causing bacteria and yeasts.
– Provides gentle exfoliation and aids skin renewal.
*Acetic Acid – Natural Antimicrobial Barrier
– Known for strong antibacterial properties, often used as a natural preservative.
– Protects skin from microbial invasion.
– Enhances the overall efficacy of the probiotic system.
→ This trio of organic acids acts as the core postbiotics that help Hydra Biotics™ rebalance the skin microbiome and strengthen the protective barrier.
4. CLINICAL EFFICACY
Strengthening the Skin Barrier
Ceramides are essential lipids making up ~50% of intercellular lipids in the stratum corneum, crucial for moisture retention and barrier integrity.
When keratinocytes were treated with Hydra Biotics™ and analyzed via LC-MS/MS:
– Intracellular ceramides (dihydroceramides Dh C18:0 and Dh C24:0) increased significantly, indicating:
+) Boosted endogenous ceramide production.
+) Reinforced natural lipid layers.
+) A stronger and more resilient skin barrier.
Result: Improved moisture retention, reduced dryness and irritation, faster skin recovery, and smoother, more stable skin.
Anti-Itch Efficacy – Reduction of TRPV-1 Expression
TRPV-1 is a protein that mediates itch and irritation sensations.
In a skin model stimulated with IL-4 and IL-13 (simulating inflammation-induced itch):
Hydra Biotics™ reduced TRPV-1 expression as follows:
– 8.07% at 1%
– 21.22% at 5%
– 26.59% at 10%
→ Demonstrates strong anti-itch and soothing effects, suitable for sensitive, redness-prone, or post-treatment skin.
