Science
Mechanism of Action
Lactobacillus/Ambrosia Trifida Ferment Extract Filtrate acts as a multi-functional agent, primarily as an antioxidant, humectant, and skin conditioning ingredient. It contributes to robust skin health by fortifying the skin’s natural barrier and promoting optimal hydration. Furthermore, it exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, aids in balancing the skin's pH, fosters a healthy microflora, and supports cellular regeneration. Its antioxidant capacity helps combat free radical damage, preventing premature signs of aging, and it may also provide antimicrobial benefits while stimulating beta-defensin production in skin cells.

Specific optimal pH for the stability of the final extract filtrate in cosmetic formulations is not specified. However, the pH conditions during initial Lactobacillus fermentation (e.g., pH 5-6) are critical for robust cellular activity.
Safety
Safety Profile
The CIR Expert Panel has deemed various forms of Lactobacillus Ferment, including filtrates and lysates, as safe for use in cosmetics. The highest reported maximum concentration of use for general Lactobacillus Ferment is up to 5.6% in face and neck products. While generally safe, individuals with sensitive skin should consider a patch test due to a potential, though low, risk of allergic reaction. There is a general note regarding postbiotics from Lactobacillus fermentation potentially causing skin depigmentation.
