Science
Mechanism of Action
While specific pathways for this exact filtrate are still being mapped, it functions through the principles of fermentation-driven bioavailability. The process breaks down complex humus substances into smaller, more absorbable molecules—including amino acids, peptides, and antioxidants—that help reinforce the skin barrier and maintain microbiome equilibrium.
