Science
Mechanism of Action
This complex functions as a bioactive repository of lactic acid, peptides, and amino acids. It reinforces the cutaneous architecture by upregulating tight junction proteins to prevent moisture loss while acting as a prebiotic substrate that encourages a diverse, resilient microbiome and maintains an acidic surface pH.
Research
Clinical Evidence
High confidence2%
Key findings
- 01 Clinical evaluation at 1.5% demonstrated a significant reduction in transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and enhanced barrier recovery within 28 days.
- 02 Studies at 2.0% confirmed a measurable increase in microbial diversity and beneficial bacterial colonies, directly correlating to reduced skin reactivity and improved soothing effects.
Transparency
Dusting Analysis
Because this is a complex fermentation product rather than a single molecule, concentrations below 1.5% may fail to provide the requisite metabolite density to influence tight junction expression or microbiome population shifts.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Thermolabile; must be incorporated during the cool-down phase of production (below 40°C) to prevent the degradation of fragile peptides and fermentation byproducts.
Synergies
- Ceramides
- Niacinamide
- Prebiotics
- Hyaluronic Acid
Conflicts
- Strong oxidizing agents
- Extreme pH environments
- High-ethanol solutions (over 20%)
Safety
