Science
Mechanism of Action
The Lactobacillus ferment filtrate component actively strengthens the skin's natural barrier, promotes a balanced microbiome, and calms irritation. It delivers key compounds such as amino acids, peptides, organic acids (e.g., lactic acid), enzymes, and antioxidants, contributing to hydration and creating an environment less favorable for harmful microbes. Separately, Erigeron annuus extract provides potent anti-inflammatory, cytoprotective, and antioxidant effects, shown to mitigate atopic dermatitis-like symptoms through the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. The overall fermentation process biologically transforms high-molecular compounds into smaller, more skin-available structures, enhancing the concentration of beneficial elements like polyphenols, flavonoids, and ceramides.

Stability
Fermentation processes for similar Lactobacillus products typically operate within a pH range of 4 to 8. Formulated products containing fermented extracts are generally stabilized and packaged to maintain their efficacy over time.
Safety
Safety Profile
The CIR Panel has deemed related Lactobacillus Ferment ingredients safe for cosmetic use, with reported concentrations up to 5.6% in leave-on face and neck products. While generally non-toxic, there is a recognized risk of allergic reactions for individuals with sensitive skin, and a patch test is recommended. Direct contact may lead to temporary irritation such as redness or itching.
