CJ BIO Publishes Clinical Study on BiomeNrich™ POST SZ075, a Postbiotic Ingredient Demonstrating Skin Improvement Benefits

2026-02-26 18:40 Last Updated At:18:55

SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CJ BIO announced the publication of clinical research findings on its postbiotic ingredient, BiomeNrich™ POST SZ075, in an international peer-reviewed journal. The study strengthens the scientific foundation of the ingredient and supports its positioning as a science-based inner beauty solution.

Growing Importance of Scientific Validation in the Inner Beauty Market

The global beauty and personal care market is rapidly shifting toward "Beauty from within" approaches that improve skin condition through internal health support. In particular, the gut-skin axis has emerged as a key biological pathway linking gut microbiota to skin health, driving increased research into probiotic and postbiotic-based ingestible skincare solutions.

At the same time, consumers increasingly seek objective and measurable evidence addressing visible skin concerns such as UV-induced photoaging, barrier impairment, dryness, roughness, and loss of elasticity. As a result, clinically validated biomarkers and instrumental assessments have become critical in substantiating functional ingredient claims.

CJ BIO's Science-Based Solution: BiomeNrich™ POST SZ075

BiomeNrich™ POST SZ075 is a postbiotic ingredient within CJ BIO's Condition-Specific biotics solution brand, BiomeNrich™. It is a 100% plant-based postbiotic produced by fermenting rice germ using Latilactobacillus sakei, a strain originally isolated from kimchi. The ingredient is positioned to support Sleep & Skin Health, developed based on the gut–skin axis concept for inner beauty and mental wellness applications.

The newly published study evaluated the ingredient's mechanisms of action in improving skin health and influencing skin-related biomarkers. Findings demonstrated significant modulation of key markers associated with barrier integrity, hydration, and wrinkle appearance, including reductions in wrinkle severity and transepidermal water loss (TEWL), alongside increases in skin elasticity and dermal density.

Dual-Action Efficacy of BiomeNrich™ POST SZ075 for Skin Health

A clinical study (n=111, 12 weeks, 500 mg/day) published in Food Science and Biotechnology (2025) confirms the dual functionality of BiomeNrich™ POST SZ075 in combating UV-induced wrinkles and enhancing hydration.

I. Skin wrinkle and roughness

Compared to the placebo, the test group showed significant resilience against UV-induced damage:

  • 1,140% improvement in wrinkle parameters around the eyes.
  • 614% increase in skin elasticity.
  • 172% increase in dermal density

II. Skin hydration and Transepidermal Water Loss

The study also demonstrated improvements in hydration-related and barrier-related parameters:

  • 1,872% decrease in Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL)
  • 497% improvement in skin roughness and 280% reduction in desquamation.
  • 309% increase in skin moisture content.

Detailed research data on BiomeNrich™ POST SZ075 can be found in CJ BIO's Nutrition Insight article.

Differentiation Through Integrated Evidence

CJ BIO established a multi-layered validation framework for BiomeNrich™ POST SZ075, encompassing in vitro, in vivo, and human clinical studies. This stepwise research design enables mechanistic verification alongside measurable clinical outcomes, strengthening scientific credibility. This integrated validation framework enables brand partners to reference both mechanistic insights and clinical findings when developing product concepts.

In addition to the published clinical study on skin health, CJ BIO has also conducted research exploring sleep-related benefits of BiomeNrich™ POST SZ075, supporting its potential relevance across multiple wellness applications. As a postbiotic ingredient, BiomeNrich™ POST SZ075 offers formulation stability advantages compared to live probiotics, which may facilitate broader product development possibilities.

CJ BIO stated, "This study provides scientific evidence that postbiotics can contribute to skin health. CJ BIO will continue expanding its portfolio of science-backed biotics and functional ingredients to deliver differentiated solutions in the inner beauty market."

BALI, Indonesia, Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Renowned for redefining luxury through genuine care and personalized service, The Ritz-Carlton, Bali proudly unveils a curated experiential cultural journey through The Ritz-Carlton, Bali Experience Program to create lasting emotional connections and unforgettable memories for guests.

Rooted in the brand's legendary service philosophy, The Ritz-Carlton, Bali Experience Program goes beyond traditional hospitality, inviting guests to discover meaningful moments through culture, wellness, culinary artistry, and purposeful connection. Each experience is carefully crafted to reflect Bali's unique heritage while embodying the brand's commitment to excellence, authenticity, and anticipatory service.

From intimate cultural encounters, unforgettable dining programs, to guided wellness rituals, the program transforms every stay into a deeply personal narrative. Led by the Ladies and Gentlemen of the property, guests are welcomed not merely as guests, but as participants in stories that celebrate place, people, and purpose.

Intimate Cultural Immersion

Guests are invited to step inside a traditional Balinese family compound, where they gain insight into the philosophy and symbolism behind each architectural element. Guided by a local expert, guests learn the purpose of the family temple, the northern pavilion used for ceremonies, the southern structure for daily living, and the eastern building reserved for welcoming guests. Along the way, the guide shares stories of Bali's ancient way of life, spiritual beliefs, and the rhythms that shape everyday living.

On another occasion, guests may deepen their cultural discovery through the ancient art of batik-making, guided by skilled local artisans. The experience begins with a visit to a local batik gallery, where guests are introduced to traditional techniques such as dyeing, printing, brushing, and the intricate canting method. The journey continues with an observation of the traditional weaving process, using a manual loom that reflects generations of craftsmanship.

Guests are also invited to witness one of Bali's most iconic cultural moments with a curated excursion to Uluwatu Temple, one of the island's most revered sea temples, dramatically perched atop a limestone cliff overlooking the Indian Ocean. As the sun begins to set, guests experience the enchanting Kecak Dance—a powerful performance of rhythmic chanting and storytelling that brings ancient Balinese legends to life against the golden horizon. This unforgettable evening offers a profound connection to Bali's spiritual heritage and natural beauty.

Unforgettable Dining Program

To elevate the bespoke culinary journey, guests are invited to join the Market to Table experience at The Ritz-Carlton, Bali. This immersive program begins with a visit to a local market alongside one of our chefs, where guests handpick fresh, seasonal ingredients. Returning to the resort, they learn to prepare authentic Balinese dishes under the guidance of Bejana's experienced culinary team. The journey concludes with the pleasure of savoring their creations, often served in a picturesque setting overlooking the ocean.

For guests inspired to explore the world of mixology, an intimate sundown experience awaits. Guided by our skilled in-house mixologist and set at our signature clifftop restaurant, this refined session pairs handcrafted cocktails with panoramic views of the Indian Ocean, creating a memorable moment as day gently turns to dusk.

Guided Wellness Rituals

The Ritz-Carlton, Bali invites guests to experience an authentic Soul Purification Ritual, traditionally known as Melukat. Derived from the Balinese word lukat, meaning "to purify," this sacred practice centers on the use of holy water to restore spiritual balance. In Balinese tradition, Melukat is performed when an individual enters a new phase of life, recovers from illness, or marks significant rites of passage such as marriage or childbirth. Through this meaningful ritual, the body, mind, and soul are gently cleansed, offering a deeply restorative and spiritual experience.

To complement this sacred journey, guests may also partake in our daily Guided Wellness Program. Thoughtfully curated to promote rejuvenation and balance, these guided experiences are designed to harmonize mind, body, and spirit, supporting overall well-being in a serene and nurturing setting.

"The Ritz-Carlton, Bali Experience Program is a natural evolution of our promise to create memories that last a lifetime," said Go Kondo, General Manager of The Ritz-Carlton, Bali. "It reflects our belief that true luxury lies in meaningful moments, those that resonate emotionally, inspire connection, and leave a lasting impression long after the journey ends."

The program also reinforces The Ritz-Carlton's dedication to thoughtful storytelling, sustainability, and community engagement, ensuring each experience is delivered with intention, care, and respect for local traditions.

With the Ritz-Carlton Experience Program, the brand continues to set new benchmarks in luxury hospitality—where every interaction is elevated, every detail matters, and every guest story is uniquely their own.
