Increased Staphylococcus aureus colonisation is associated with atopic eczema (AE) severity. Reduction of S. levels, especially in AD patients, may led to an improvement the skin condition. Thus, aim a study was evaluate reduction od biofilm formation, two emollients for face and body care (no. 19624 19625 respectively). They contained complex ingredients (oligofructants from Ophiopogon japonic...
