Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient utilizes a 'Bio-Mineral' delivery system to restore the calcium gradient within the epidermis, which is a critical signal for healthy keratinocyte differentiation. By increasing the bioavailability of calcium ions and providing postbiotic metabolites, it upregulates the production of essential barrier proteins like Filaggrin and Loricrin while providing humectant support.

Clinical Evidence
High confidence3%
Key findings
- 01 Manufacturer clinical testing (Radiant Co.) confirms that applications at 2-3% significantly boost epidermal differentiation markers, resulting in measurable improvements in barrier density and moisture retention.
Transparency
Dusting Analysis
Because it is a complex ferment filtrate, it is frequently included at 'label claim' levels (under 1%) in mass-market products. To achieve the physiological barrier-repair benefits cited in clinical data, a concentration of at least 2% is required.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Maintain stable storage temperatures to prevent the precipitation of mineral components. It typically presents as a clear to slightly translucent liquid.
Synergies
- Ceramides
- Hyaluronic Acid
- Niacinamide
Conflicts
- High levels of chelating agents like Disodium EDTA (which can bind the calcium ions)
- Strongly acidic formulations below pH 3.5
Safety
Safety Profile
Recognized by the EU CosIng database as a safe skin-conditioning agent with no known regulatory restrictions.
