Science
Mechanism of Action
The fermentation process liberates a rich blend of postbiotics, encompassing intracellular and extracellular metabolites, bacterial components, lactic acid, lipotechoic acid, and various other organic acids. These active compounds form a protective surface film, effectively mitigating transepidermal water loss and enhancing skin softness and radiance. Furthermore, it reinforces the skin's stratum corneum integrity, activates beneficial micro-ecological activity, and helps to suppress pathogenic bacteria. This dynamic action contributes to a balanced micro-ecological barrier, reducing breakout susceptibility, optimizing epidermal oil-water balance, and promoting overall skin stability. Notably, specific postbiotics generated during Lactobacillus fermentation may exhibit tyrosinase-inhibiting properties, offering a potential contribution to the reduction of hyperpigmentation.
