This biome is essential for many other bodily systems to work like our body's production of serotonin. The .21 version we expect to see take off is the body's various biomes being a focal point for body care products like dental care, skincare, and women's feminine hygiene. Traditional products can be non-specific in what they kill. For example, mouthwash is usually recommended to help kill bacteria found in the gums and mouth. However, mouthwash doesn't decipher between the good and bad bacteria that your mouth's biome uses. Expect that to change in 2021, with many products coming out to aid and support all of your body's biomes to stay balanced and healthy.
