LACTOBACILLUS/ARNICA MONTANA FLOWER FERMENT FILTRATE.

Valuable / HUMECTANT

This innovative ferment filtrate combines the soothing and anti-inflammatory benefits of Arnica Montana flower with the skin-rejuvenating properties of Lactobacillus fermentation. It aims to enhance skin health by promoting gentle exfoliation, moisture retention, and pH balance, while also supporting barrier function and reducing redness.

Science

Mechanism of Action

The ingredient delivers a potent blend of beneficial metabolites, including lactic acid, flavonoids (like quercetin and luteolin), sesquiterpene lactones (such as elenalina), organic acids, and peptides. Lactic acid gently exfoliates and boosts hydration, while flavonoids and sesquiterpene lactones offer significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory protection. Organic acids condition skin and help maintain optimal pH, and peptides support skin regeneration. It acts as a humectant, drawing moisture into the stratum corneum, and the arnica component can stimulate microcirculation for a revitalized complexion. Furthermore, it helps balance the skin microbiome, reduce visible redness, improve elasticity, strengthen the protective barrier, and foster collagen synthesis.

Max tested
5.6%
Sensitization risk Moderate

The CIR Expert Panel has deemed Lactobacillus Ferment and its filtrates safe for cosmetic use, with reported concentrations up to 5.6% in face and neck products. However, caution is advised due to the Arnica Montana component. While fermentation may reduce the allergenicity of raw arnica, unfermented Arnica Montana Flower Extract has been associated with contact dermatitis in some individuals, particularly those sensitive to sesquiterpene lactones. Individuals with known allergies to Arnica montana or extremely sensitive skin should exercise discretion.
