What is
The Exposome?

The skin exposome is comprised of internal and external aggressors including UVA/UVB rays, temperature fluctuations, pollution, stress and diet that damage the skin barrier and cause up to 80% of all skin aging.

What are
The Factors?

“Air pollution, UV exposure, abrupt temperature variations, diet and stress, as well as the excesses of urban lifestyles weaken the skin barrier function, ultimately accelerating the aging process and visibly changing one’s appearance”.

Fueling
Scientific Research

Every year, Vichy Laboratoires awards three regional grants of 15,000€ each intended to promote and encourage skin exposome research globally.

With the Vichy Exposome Grant, Vichy Laboratoires are aiming at supporting a fundamental or a clinical research project in the field of skin exposome, conducted within any hospital, university or other not-for-profit research institution.
