The concept of exposome was first defined in 2005 by professor Christopher Wild, former Director of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IRAC) as "The cumulative measure of environmental influences and associated biological responses, including exposures from the environment, diet, behavious and endogenous processes"(1,2).

When it comes to the skin, our lab research has shown that exposome is the combination of multiple influences: environmental, behavioural and hormonal. Above all, it's their cumulative effect that can disrupt the skin's biological functions and accelerate its ageing. in 2016, we turned these discoveries into a science: Skin Exposome Science.
