LACTOBACILLUS LYSATE.

Valuable / ANTIMICROBIAL, ORAL CARE

Lactobacillus Lysate is a precision postbiotic ingredient derived from the fermentation of Lactobacillus bacteria, celebrated for its profound benefits in enhancing skin health. It actively fortifies the skin's natural barrier, restores microbial balance, and significantly calms irritation, proving highly beneficial for compromised or sensitive skin.

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates by nurturing the skin's natural microbiome, thereby strengthening its inherent barrier capabilities. It modulates the skin's immune responses, stimulates the production of vital antimicrobial peptides, and contributes to optimal pH balance. Mechanistically, Lactobacillus Lysate demonstrably improves skin barrier integrity through increased expression of critical tight junction proteins (e.g., claudin 1, occludin) and skin barrier proteins (e.g., loricrin, filaggrin). Furthermore, it alleviates cellular damage from irritants such as sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), inhibits inflammatory cytokine secretion, minimizes transepidermal water loss, and boosts skin moisture, collectively fostering comprehensive skin recovery. Its enzyme and metabolite activity also supports healthy cellular turnover.

Max tested
5.6%
Sensitization risk Low

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Panel has concluded that Lactobacillus Ferment, its lysates, and filtrates are safe for cosmetic application, with a highest reported use concentration of 5.6% for a related ferment in face and neck products. Lactobacillus Lysate itself demonstrates a low potential for irritation and sensitization and is non-comedogenic. Although generally considered safe, a patch test is recommended for individuals with known sensitivities, particularly to fermented ingredients.
