CITROBACTER/SOY PROTEIN FERMENT.

This ingredient is rich in bioactive compounds such as peptides, amino acids, and isoflavones, resulting from the meticulous fermentation of soybeans. These constituents work synergistically to provide comprehensive skin protection against free radical damage, enhancing overall skin texture and elasticity while promoting cellular regeneration. It effectively soothes irritation and reduces visible redness by fortifying the skin's natural barrier and fostering a balanced skin microbiome. Furthermore, fermented soy has demonstrated the capacity to stimulate collagen synthesis, which is crucial for maintaining skin firmness and mitigating the visible indicators of aging. It also contributes to elevated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) levels, optimizing water binding and retention for enhanced hydration, plumpness, and improved facial volume. The fermentation process inherently reduces the allergenic potential of soybeans by degrading larger allergenic proteins into smaller, less reactive polypeptides.
