LACTOBACILLUS/LACTOCOCCUS/CHONDRUS OCELLATUS FERMENT FILTRATE.

Valuable / SKIN CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING - EMOLLIENT

This innovative ingredient is a filtrate derived from the fermentation of Chondrus ocellatus alga by beneficial Lactobacillus and Lactococcus microorganisms. It functions as a powerful humectant and skin conditioning agent, actively promoting skin renewal and strengthening the skin's natural barrier.

Science

This fermented filtrate delivers a complex blend of beneficial compounds, including amino acids, peptides, organic acids (such as lactic acid), and enzymes. Its mechanism involves deep hydration as a humectant, promoting cellular turnover to refine skin texture and diminish the appearance of scarring. It visibly enhances skin tone for a more radiant, youthful complexion. The ingredient significantly strengthens the skin barrier, optimizing moisture retention and defending against environmental stressors. It exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, effectively calming irritation, reducing redness, and alleviating sensitivity. Furthermore, it supports the delicate balance of the skin's microflora, crucial for overall skin health, and helps stabilize the skin's pH to prevent dryness or excessive oil production. As a natural antioxidant, it combats free radical damage, thereby contributing to the prevention of premature aging signs like fine lines and loss of elasticity. Related Lactobacillus ferment-derived ingredients are also noted for potential tyrosinase-inhibiting effects, which may influence skin pigmentation, and some function as DNA repair enzymes protecting against aggressors.

While the CIR Expert Panel has noted a maximum reported use concentration of 5.6% for related Lactobacillus Ferment ingredients in certain applications, specific clinical efficacy data for the optimal percentage of Lactobacillus/Lactococcus/Chondrus Ocellatus Ferment Filtrate is not available in the provided research. Therefore, it is not possible to definitively determine if it is commonly 'dusted' at sub-efficacious levels.

The CIR Expert Panel concluded that related Lactobacillus Ferment ingredients are safe for use in cosmetics. The highest reported concentration for Lactobacillus Ferment, a related ingredient, is 5.6% in face and neck products (non-spray) and other skincare formulations. The Panel cautioned that some data suggest these ingredients may possess skin lightening properties, which is categorized as a drug effect, and advised formulators to ensure usage does not result in unintended skin depigmentation.
