KLUYVEROMYCES/LACTOBACILLUS/NELUMBO NUCIFERA SEED OIL FERMENT FILTRATE.

Insufficient Data / ANTIOXIDANT, BLEACHING, SKIN CONDITIONING, SKIN PROTECTING

This advanced ingredient is a ferment filtrate derived from Nelumbo Nucifera (lotus) seed oil, produced via fermentation with Kluyveromyces and Lactobacillus strains. It synergizes the skin-benefiting compounds of fermented ingredients with the natural properties of lotus seed oil. The ingredient is engineered to enhance skin vitality, fortify its protective barrier, and deliver soothing hydration across all skin types.

Science

This complex ingredient operates by combining the distinct advantages of biological fermentation with the intrinsic properties of Nelumbo Nucifera seed oil. The fermentation process, facilitated by Kluyveromyces and Lactobacillus, is understood to break down and enhance the bioavailability of various beneficial compounds. These include amino acids, peptides, organic acids (such as lactic acid), enzymes, and potent antioxidants, which collectively support a healthy skin microbiome, reinforce the skin's barrier function, and diminish irritation. The humectant properties of these components further boost hydration, while their antioxidant activity offers robust protection against oxidative stress and environmental damage. Nelumbo Nucifera seeds themselves contribute active compounds with antioxidant, antibacterial, and immunomodulatory properties, along with the potential to inhibit melanogenesis. Additionally, the inherent oil component within the ferment can contribute to regulating sebum production, making it suitable for diverse skin needs.

Sensitization risk Unknown

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel concluded that specific component ingredients like Lactobacillus Ferment, Lactobacillus Ferment Filtrate, Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate, and Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate Filtrate are 'safe as used in cosmetics' as of June 2025. However, a Tentative Report by CIR in March 2025 regarding various Nelumbo Nucifera-derived ingredients (specifically as extracts, not the fermented oil filtrate) stated 'insufficient data to make a determination of safety' for those particular ingredients. A direct, comprehensive safety assessment by CIR or SCCS for the exact complex ingredient 'KLUYVEROMYCES/LACTOBACILLUS/NELUMBO NUCIFERA SEED OIL FERMENT FILTRATE' is not publicly available.
