LACTOBACILLUS/CENTELLA ASIATICA EXTRACT/POLYSORBATE 80 FERMENT LYSATE FILTRATE.

Valuable / SKIN CONDITIONING

This advanced bio-fermented complex harnesses the power of Lactobacillus, Centella Asiatica, and Polysorbate 80 to profoundly enhance skin health. It works to fortify the skin's natural microbiome, providing a protective shield against environmental stressors while promoting balance and regeneration. Clinically observed to significantly reduce redness and support collagen synthesis, it delivers comprehensive soothing, hydration, and improved elasticity.

Science

Mechanism of Action

This complex functions by strengthening the skin's natural microbiome, creating a robust protective barrier against external aggressors and restoring optimal skin balance. It actively hydrates, soothes, and promotes cellular regeneration, leading to a reduction in redness and stimulated collagen production for enhanced elasticity and firmness. Beyond these benefits, it supports overall skin barrier integrity, aids cellular renewal, and offers softening and smoothing effects, particularly beneficial for complexions prone to acne or rosacea. In vitro studies on its Lactobacillus ferment component also indicate potential for increased oxygen uptake, collagen synthesis, and ATP production.

Stability

Formulators should consider pH control or the inclusion of co-preservatives for optimal stability and efficacy of products containing Lactobacillus ferment derivatives. While a pH of 4.5 was noted for the Centella Asiatica fermentation process, the precise optimal pH range for the stability of this specific combined ingredient in final cosmetic formulations is not specified. Its 'Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate' component demonstrates versatility, being suitable for integration into both water-based systems and emulsions.

Sensitization risk Low

The Expert Panel for Cosmetic Ingredient Safety (CIR) deemed related Lactobacillus ferment ingredients, including 'Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate Filtrate', safe for cosmetic use. While CIR acknowledged a potential skin lightening effect from some Lactobacillus ferments due to tyrosinase inhibition—a drug effect—clinical data mitigated these concerns, with formulators advised to avoid depigmenting products. The ingredient complex generally maintains an excellent safety profile. Maximum reported use for 'Lactobacillus Ferment' in face and neck products is 5.6%, and 5% of 'Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate Filtrate' was utilized in an in-vivo study. Centella Asiatica-derived components are also independently assessed as safe by CIR.
