Science
Mechanism of Action
The ingredient is a filtrate obtained from the controlled fermentation of Pinus densiflora leaf oil using Kluyveromyces yeast and Lactobacillus bacteria. This bioprocess breaks down larger molecules, yielding a rich array of beneficial, highly bioavailable compounds such as amino acids, peptides, organic acids (like lactic acid), and enzymes. These components work synergistically to reinforce the skin's natural barrier, reduce inflammation, provide significant antioxidant protection against environmental aggressors, and foster a stable skin microbiome. The Lactobacillus ferment component is further recognized for its antimicrobial efficacy and potential to support DNA repair, while the Pinus Densiflora may contribute anti-seborrheic benefits.
