New findings reveal critical microbial drivers, ethnic variations, and new pathways for personalized scalp care<\/i><\/p>\n

NEW YORK<\/span><\/span>, Sept. 29, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0CeraVe and L’Or\u00e9al Groupe today announced that their collaborative study on scalp biology has received the Applied Research Award<\/a> at the 35th<\/sup> International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists (IFSCC) Congress, recognizing a breakthrough in understanding dandruff and advancing scalp barrier science.<\/p>\n

“Receiving the IFSCC Applied Research Award is a testament to our joint commitment to scientific innovation and understanding the intricate biology of skin and scalp barrier health,”<\/i> said Gene Col\u00f3n<\/b>, Global Senior Vice President, Medical Affairs & Communications for CeraVe at L’Or\u00e9al.\u00a0“This game-changing research moves beyond the traditional view of dandruff to highlight the role of ceramide deficiency and scalp barrier dysfunction, the critical bacterial component and the impact of ethnicity. It significantly expands our scientific understanding, rooted in our foundational ceramide science, offering new perspectives and possibilities for future innovations.”<\/i><\/p>\n

This award-winning research<\/a> \u2013 the first scalp study of its kind – compared dandruff-affected and healthy scalps, assessing clinical symptoms, ceramide profiles, microbiome composition, and inflammatory markers to provide the most comprehensive picture of dandruff pathophysiology to date. Researchers from L’Or\u00e9al evaluated over 200 participants from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds.<\/p>\n

“This recognition reflects L’Or\u00e9al’s Research & Innovation teams’ leadership in scientific innovation and our mission to pioneer skin, hair, and scalp science continuously,”<\/i> said Qian Zheng<\/span><\/b>, Ph.D., Senior Vice President of Advanced Research for North America<\/span> and Global Head for Regenerative Beauty at L’Or\u00e9al Groupe. “By integrating microbiome research with barrier biology through an inclusive lens, our teams are pioneering new approaches to scalp care \u2013 translating deep biological insights into targeted, effective solutions for consumers around the world.”<\/i><\/p>\n

Importantly, this new and previously unpublished study builds on earlier microbiome research<\/a>, which was published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology<\/i>, while significantly expanding its scope. Whereas previous work characterized the scalp microbiome in a global population, the IFSCC-recognized study goes further \u2014 providing a deeper analysis by examining differences across ethnic groups and, for the first time, exploring the functional profile of the microbiome. These new dimensions \u2014 combined with insights into microbial targets beyond\u00a0Malassezia<\/i>\u00a0(a naturally occurring fungus on the scalp that has long been associated with dandruff) and their connection to inflammation \u2014 represent a major advance in understanding dandruff biology.
