Science
Mechanism of Action
The mechanism of action involves milk glycoproteins acting as intelligent carriers, delivering vital minerals (magnesium, zinc, calcium, and phosphorus) directly into the stratum corneum, thereby initiating skin revitalization. These glycoproteins also function as essential cofactors, significantly improving the efficiency of intrinsic dermal enzymes. Furthermore, the formation of a subtle film on the skin's surface by these glycoproteins results in enhanced moisture content and robust protection against environmental challenges. Broader scientific understanding of related Lactobacillus ferments suggests potential for DNA repair, defense against environmental aggressors, and notable anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties, which may contribute to a healthier skin microbiome and address specific concerns like acne and rosacea.

Stability
This ingredient is provided as a sterile powder, facilitating easy dispersion into aqueous solutions or emulsions. While not specifying an optimal pH for the final formulation, notes on its production indicate that the absorption rate of soluble minerals can increase with decreasing pH during the fermentation process.
Safety
Safety Profile
The CIR Expert Panel determined this class of ingredients, including Lactobacillus Ferment and its derivatives, to be safe for cosmetic use. It is derived from food-grade materials and cultures, generally recognized as safe (GRAS) in the USA. Formulators are cautioned regarding a potential skin lightening effect, which is considered a drug effect, ensuring its use does not lead to skin depigmentation.
