Science
Mechanism of Action
The Bacillus fermentation process enzymatically deconstructs complex proteins into low-molecular-weight peptides and amino acids for enhanced dermal penetration. It specifically generates Polyglutamic Acid, which creates a breathable micro-film to prevent transepidermal water loss, while soy-derived isoflavones stimulate collagen synthesis and silk fibroins provide a structural smoothing effect.

Key findings
- 01 Application of 3% concentration demonstrated a 25% increase in skin elasticity and measurable smoothing of fine lines over a 28-day period.
- 02 Inclusion at 2-5% significantly reduced transepidermal water loss (TEWL) by increasing the bioavailability of antioxidant isoflavones and moisture-binding PGA.

Dusting Analysis
Many formulations include this ingredient at sub-clinical levels (<0.5%) for marketing claims; however, the threshold for significant barrier repair and elasticity improvement begins at 2.0%.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Thermally sensitive bioactive; must be incorporated during the cool-down phase of formulation below 40°C to prevent peptide denaturation.
Synergies
- Hyaluronic Acid
- Niacinamide
- Glycerin
Conflicts
- Strongly acidic environments (pH < 4.0)
- Ethanol concentrations exceeding 20%
- Cationic surfactants
Safety
Safety Profile
Generally recognized as safe (GRAS). Individuals with known soy allergies should conduct a patch test prior to widespread use.
