(LACTOBACILLUS/MILLET SEED FLOUR FERMENT & PANICUM MILIACEUM SEED EXTRACT) FILTRATE.

This ingredient functions through several synergistic pathways. Miliacin, a triterpenoid found in millet seed extract, activates the skin's natural repair mechanisms and exhibits anti-inflammatory effects. Its carbohydrate content helps form a protective film on the skin surface, shielding against environmental stressors and actively retaining moisture to prevent dehydration. Amino acids present contribute to skin rejuvenation, potentially diminishing the appearance of blemishes and dark spots. The fermentation by lactic acid bacteria is pivotal, generating organic acids that establish an optimal acidic pH range (typically 4-5) beneficial for skin health. This process also dramatically increases the bioavailability of beneficial minerals, such as calcium (up to 9-fold) and magnesium (more than double). Furthermore, the fermented extract supports a healthy skin microbiota and stimulates the expression of key epidermal differentiation markers like elafin, involucrin, and transglutaminase in keratinocytes, which are crucial for the robust formation of the stratum corneum.
