BACILLUS/CLOVER FLOWER/SOYBEAN FERMENT FILTRATE.

Valuable / ANTIOXIDANT, HAIR CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING - EMOLLIENT

A sophisticated biotechnological complex that merges the botanical power of Red Clover with fermented Soybeans via Bacillus probiotic activity. This bio-active filtrate is engineered to refine skin texture by regulating sebum while simultaneously delivering hydration levels that surpass traditional hyaluronic acid.

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates via a triple-action pathway: it utilizes Biochanin A from Clover to inhibit 5-alpha reductase activity (reducing oil at the source), employs Bacillus-derived gamma-PGA as a superior film-forming humectant for deep hydration, and provides postbiotic metabolites that stabilize the skin microbiome while stimulating collagen via soy isoflavones.

Key findings

  1. 01 In-vivo trials at 1-3% concentrations demonstrated a 15-20% reduction in visible pore size and a 20-30% decrease in sebum production over 28 days.
  2. 02 Bio-fermented soybean components (Natto) were shown to produce gamma-PGA, providing moisture retention capabilities 5 to 10 times greater than hyaluronic acid.

Stability

Highly stable in aqueous formulations; as a filtrate, it avoids sedimentation. It is essential to maintain a skin-neutral pH to prevent the degradation of its bioactive peptides.

Synergies

  • Niacinamide (pore refinement)
  • Hyaluronic Acid (multi-depth hydration)
  • Peptides (barrier support)

Conflicts

  • Strong oxidizing agents
  • Extremely alkaline environments (pH >8.0)
  • Strong mineral acids (pH <3.0)
