SynbÆctive® ProBeautyShield has been selected as a finalist at the prestigious NutraIngredients Awards USA 2026 in the category “Ingredient of the Year: Beauty from Within.” This recognition marks another important achievement for the ingredient, which has already been shortlisted among the finalists in previous editions of the awards, confirming its strong scientific positioning and growing international recognition in the beauty-from-within sector.
The ceremony will take place at The Hampton Social – Streeterville in Chicago on Monday, July 13th, 2026.

SynbÆctive® ProBeautyShield is a patented probiotic formulation developed by SynBalance to support skin health through the gut-skin axis. The complex combines the strains L. plantarum PBS067, L. rhamnosus LRH020, and L. reuteri PBS072, selected for their immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. Clinical studies have shown benefits for acne-prone skin, atopic dermatitis, and skin aging, with improvements in hydration, elasticity, and radiance after just 28 days. ProBeautyShield also helps rebalance the intestinal microbiota, contributing to reduced redness, blemishes, and skin discomfort. The formulation promotes healthier, brighter, and more even-looking skin, making it suitable for advanced nutraceutical and beauty-from-within applications.
As global awareness of skin health and wellness continues to grow, the demand for effective beauty-from-within solutions has increased significantly. SynbÆctive® ProBeautyShield responds to this need by redefining the gut-skin axis through its clinically validated, multi-strain formulation. Conceived as a cross-generational solution, it supports skin health and well-being for a broad and diverse population.
