Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Technology

A DNA sequencing technology which has revolutionized genomic research, allowing us to get a more complete snapshot of the microbiome. NGS technology performs sequencing of millions of small fragments of DNA in parallel. Advanced genetic sequencing technology helps understand how the skin microbiome is impacted by products.

When Dr. Whitney Bowe Beauty claims a product supports a healthy microbiome…

A third-party laboratory has tested the product’s final formula using NGS technology in vivo (on living humans) to assess its effect on the skin microbiome. We look for richness, diversity and balance.
