Science
Mechanism of Action
The fermentation process enzymatically breaks down large botanical structures from ingredients like Green Tea, Lotus, and Bitter Melon into smaller, bioavailable peptides and organic acids. This enhanced molecular profile allows for deeper skin penetration, while the resulting postbiotics actively support and balance the skin's delicate microbiome.
