ViroBiome™ One Health Inside is a gentle, plant-based bioactive solution that deactivates viruses on skin, textiles, plants and everyday surfaces. Free from water, alcohol and preservatives, it acts as a living shield that respects the microbiome and the environment. ViroBiome™ targets viruses responsible for major human infections such as HIV, HPV, HSV, influenza, SARS-CoV-2, as well as tropical viruses like Zika, Chikungunya and Dengue. Designed to be easily integrated into hygiene products, medical devices or protective textiles, this innovation provides a natural, effective and non-toxic alternative to conventional chemical disinfection. It embodies the One Health vision, connecting human, animal and environmental health. It can be sprayed at the industrial stage (1 ml = 400 cm²) or diluted at 2.5 to 5% into existing formulas, without changing consumer habits. It enables better waste management by deactivating 99% of viruses within 30 ".

The Environmental Benefits

• •ViroBiome™ deactivates over 99% of pathogenic viruses on the surface, before they infect the host, with no need for rinsing or activation. It respects beneficial viruses within ecosystems and helps strengthen natural defenses and the immune system
• •1 ml of ViroBiome™ protects up to 400 cm² of skin, fabric, or surface. At just €0.005–0.01/ml, it integrates seamlessly into existing processes, making it highly cost-effective
• •Unlike conventional disinfectants, ViroBiome™ does not destroy beneficial bacteria or useful viruses. It protects gently while supporting the regeneration of the microbiome and biological ecosystems
• •Thanks to its ultra-concentrated format (dilutable between 2.5% and 5%), ViroBiome™ reduces transported volume by up to 95% compared to ready-to-use formulas, leading to an estimated 60–80% reduction in GHG emissions during the distribution phase
• •Producing one 500 kg batch of ViroBiome™ concentrate consumes only 900 to 1,100 kWh, which is over 50% less than conventional synthetic biocides (2,000 to 2,400 kWh), significantly cutting GHG emissions at the production stage
• •Making a 500 kg batch of ViroBiome™ uses just 900–1,100 kWh—over 50% less than synthetic biocides (2,000–2,400 kWh)—significantly reducing GHG emissions at production
• •Thanks to its water-free formulation, ViroBiome™ reduces the volume of liquid waste and enables safer disposal through viral deactivation, lowering indirect GHG emissions associated with wastewater treatment, filtration, and effluent transport

The Financial Benefits

• •ViroBiome™ boosts intimate care safety with gentle antiviral protection against STIs like HIV and HPV—without altering user habits or raising costs. Its versatility allows seamless integration into many products
• •Medical disposables protected with ViroBiome™ reduce the risk of hospital-acquired infections by deactivating viruses on contact surfaces, while remaining fully compatible with existing industrial processes across various product categories
• •ViroBiome™ Sun & Bites Shield significantly reduces itching, redness, and inflammation caused by mosquito bites, while strengthening the skin’s antiviral barrier and providing UV protection for several hours, even in tropical environments
• •Intimate gels with ViroBiome™ Personal Hygiene Shield provide gentle, bioactive protection against STIs like HIV and HPV for up to 4 hours post-use—without disturbing the microbiome or causing irritation
