    TLDR Thermal spring waters and their microbes could be good for skin health and treating some skin conditions in skincare products.
    The review "Hydrobiome of Thermal Waters: Potential Use in Dermocosmetics" discusses the potential of thermal spring waters and their microbiota in the development of dermocosmetic products. The waters contain diverse microorganisms that produce bioactive compounds beneficial for skin health, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These compounds can improve various dermatological diseases like atopic dermatitis and rosacea, prevent skin aging, and more. The document also highlights the role of postbiotics and the skin microbiome in human health, with the scalp microbiome linked to disorders such as alopecia. The microbial diversity in thermal waters is influenced by dissolved nutrients and minerals, with Proteobacteria and Firmicutes being the most common bacterial phyla. The document concludes that thermal spring waters and their hydrobiome have potential for use in dermocosmetics due to their proven effectiveness in skin care and treatment of certain skin conditions. However, further research is needed to fully understand the interactions between these microorganisms and the skin, and to determine the most effective ways to incorporate them into skincare products.
