LACTOBACILLUS/SOYBEAN EXTRACT FERMENT FILTRATE.

Valuable CAS - / SKIN CONDITIONING

Lactobacillus/Soybean Extract Ferment Filtrate is a bio-active postbiotic ingredient, resulting from the fermentation of soybeans by Lactobacillus. This advanced filtrate is engineered to reinforce the skin's natural barrier, significantly boost hydration and elasticity, and deliver robust antioxidant protection. It is also recognized for its calming effects on sensitive skin and its capacity to foster a balanced skin microbiome.

Science

This ingredient operates by strengthening the epidermal barrier, which consequently minimizes transepidermal water loss and enhances skin resilience. It actively soothes irritation and cultivates a healthy, stable skin microbiome. Functioning as a humectant, it markedly improves skin hydration and moisture retention, directly contributing to amplified elasticity. Its potent antioxidant capabilities neutralize free radicals, safeguarding the skin from environmental aggressors and oxidative damage. Moreover, it stimulates the endogenous production of collagen and hyaluronic acid, resulting in noticeably smoother and plumper skin. The ferment filtrate further supports skin regeneration and cell renewal, while its fermentation process liberates beneficial compounds, including amino acids, peptides, organic acids (such as lactic acid), and various enzymes.

Stability

The ingredient is a byproduct of specific fermentation processes, which inherently involve controlled pH conditions (e.g., a decrease from 3.90 to 3.10 due to lactic acid production). The final filtrate contains the beneficial byproducts of this fermentation alongside fragments of inactivated bacteria.

Conflicts

  • No specific incompatibilities with other cosmetic ingredients are known for Lactobacillus/Soybean Ferment Extract; however, thorough compatibility testing is always recommended for new formulations.
