Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract operates through precision bio-conversion: the four-strain bacterial consortium metabolizes soy proteins into bio-available small-chain peptides and transforms soy isoflavones into potent aglycones like genistein and daidzein. These bio-actives stimulate the endogenous production of collagen and essential ceramides, while the resulting lactic acid and exopolysaccharides optimize the skin's pH and competitively exclude harmful pathogens.

Key findings
- 01 Application at 10% concentration demonstrated significant enhancement of the cutaneous barrier and a marked reduction in sensitivity for reactive skin types.
- 02 A 5% concentration showed superior efficacy in decreasing acne-related inflammation and lesion size compared to traditional antimicrobial agents.
- 03 Consistent use of 1-5% concentrations resulted in measurable improvements in skin resilience and structural integrity over a 28-day period.

Dusting Analysis
Due to its long INCI name and high manufacturing cost, this ingredient is frequently 'label-dusted' at concentrations below 0.5%. However, clinical data suggests that a minimum of 1% is required for barrier support, with 5% being the target for therapeutic anti-inflammatory benefits.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Thermolabile; must be incorporated during the cooling phase of production at temperatures not exceeding 40°C. Maintaining a physiological pH range is critical for maintaining the structural integrity of the fermented peptides.
