30 Apr 2020 --- DuPont Nutrition and Bioscience’s XIVIA xylitol – a wood-based sweetener – has a positive effect on skin microbial growth. This is according to a new study published in the Korean Journal of Microbiology, which showed that xylitol inhibited the growth of pure cultures of pathogenic S. aureus and C. acnes strains linked to skin conditions. Meanwhile, the growth of skin commensal S. epidermidis strain was not affected. DuPont flags that the data can be used to help promote the use of XIVIA Xylitol outside the traditional space of chewing gum and oral care applications.
