Kluyveromyces/lactobacillus/phaseolus Angularis Seed Oil Ferment Filtrate

This ingredient functions as an antioxidant, proactively inhibiting oxygen-promoted reactions that can lead to ingredient degradation and cellular damage. Its skin conditioning and protective benefits are largely attributed to the byproducts generated during Lactobacillus fermentation, which include a complex mixture of intracellular and extracellular metabolites, enzymes, peptides, and organic acids like lactic acid. Research on related Lactobacillus ferments indicates additional mechanisms such as DNA repair, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, enhanced cellular oxygen uptake, stimulation of collagen production, and ATP synthesis (demonstrated in in-vitro studies). Furthermore, there is a potential for tyrosinase-inhibiting properties, which could influence skin pigmentation.
