Science
Mechanism of Action
This ferment actively works to safeguard the skin by mitigating oxidative stress. Its bioactive constituents are known to inhibit key enzymes, such as collagenase, elastase, and hyaluronidase, which are responsible for degrading the extracellular matrix. Furthermore, it may contribute to photoprotection and support an even skin tone through anti-melanogenic pathways.

Stability
While the source organism thrives across a broad pH range of approximately 3.0 to 11.4, with optimal growth observed between 7.5 and 10.5, the precise optimal pH for the stability of the ferment within finished cosmetic formulations remains undetermined.
Safety
Safety Profile
This specific ferment has not undergone a dedicated safety assessment by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) or SCCS, and its FDA status is currently unavailable. General ferment ingredients, such as Lactobacillus ferment, have been reviewed by CIR.
