BIFIDA/HYDROLYZED MILK/LACTOSE/SODIUM ASCORBATE/SILICON FERMENT FILTRATE.

Essential CAS - / HUMECTANT

A sophisticated multi-active bio-ferment that integrates probiotic metabolites with bio-chelated minerals and milk proteins. This precision complex is designed to accelerate cellular repair, fortify the skin's microbiome, and enhance structural density through advanced fermentation technology.

DNA Repair Stimulator Dermal Structural Support Barrier Fortification Anti-Inflammatory Antioxidant

Science

This complex employs a four-pillar approach to dermal health: Bifida metabolites activate endogenous DNA repair enzymes to reverse UV damage; bio-chelated silicon acts as a structural catalyst for collagen synthesis; milk-derived proteins modulate cytokine activity to quench inflammation; and sodium ascorbate provides a stabilized antioxidant shield against oxidative stress.

Key findings

  1. 01 Demonstrated significant enhancement of skin resilience against physical and chemical stressors via Bifidobacterium longum lysate.
  2. 02 Bio-available silicon ions shown to outperform inorganic forms in connective tissue synthesis and elasticity improvement.
  3. 03 Lactose-rich milk fractions validated to reduce redness by stimulating the skin's internal protective responses.

Due to the high cost of the fermented fractions, this ingredient is often included at sub-clinical levels (<1%) for marketing claims. A minimum concentration of 2% is required for structural silicon benefits, while 5% is optimal for DNA repair claims.


The Formula

Stability

Thermolabile complex; must be incorporated during the cooling phase (under 40°C). Protective packaging is recommended to prevent the photo-oxidation of the sodium ascorbate component.

Synergies

  • Prebiotics
  • Peptides
  • Hyaluronic Acid
  • Niacinamide

Conflicts

  • Strong oxidizing agents
  • Low pH formulations (< 4.0)
  • Concentrated anionic surfactants
