LACTOBACILLUS/SOYBEAN FERMENT EXTRACT.

This extract operates by strengthening the epidermal barrier and substantially increasing skin hydration and moisture retention, partially through the stimulation of hyaluronic acid and glycosaminoglycan production. It actively promotes collagen synthesis, which contributes to improved skin elasticity. The ingredient demonstrates antioxidant properties, offering protection against cellular damage from free radicals, and exhibits anti-inflammatory effects that can effectively reduce redness and irritation. Furthermore, it helps modulate the skin's microbiome by providing antimicrobial actions against undesirable bacteria and fungi, potentially mitigating acne and blemishes. It also stimulates skin regeneration and cell renewal, leading to a refined skin texture. The fermentation process breaks down complex molecules into simpler, more absorbable forms, enhancing dermal penetration and concentrating vital nutrients such as vitamins and amino acids. Broader categories of Lactobacillus ferment may also contribute to DNA repair enzyme activity.
