MICROCOCCUS/HYDROLYZED NONFAT MILK FERMENT.

Insufficient Data CAS - / DEODORANT

This ingredient is a ferment derived from nonfat milk, processed with Micrococcus bacteria and subsequently hydrolyzed. While its specific topical efficacy on skin lacks comprehensive public documentation, it is broadly categorized for potential skin conditioning benefits.

Skin conditioning

Science

Mechanism of Action

The precise topical mechanism of action for MICROCOCCUS/HYDROLYZED NONFAT MILK FERMENT is not extensively detailed in available public research. While a similar ingredient, 'LACTOBACILLUS/NONFAT MILK FERMENT POWDER', is listed by COSMILE Europe as a 'SKIN CONDITIONING' agent for maintaining skin health, and the oral consumption of fermented milk has been associated with improved skin hydration and barrier function via bioactive peptides, direct topical benefits for this specific ferment remain largely unsubstantiated in scientific literature. One source lists its function as 'Deodorant' but concurrently states 'No known benefits' in a skincare context.

Stability

The hydrolysis process for milk-based proteinaceous materials typically occurs within a pH range of 6.5 to 8.5, ideally 7.0 to 8.0, at temperatures between 40°C and 60°C. This information pertains to the manufacturing process and not the optimal pH range for the stability of the final ingredient within a cosmetic formulation.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Insufficient data
Sensitization risk Unknown

A direct safety assessment by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel, SCCS, or FDA for 'MICROCOCCUS/HYDROLYZED NONFAT MILK FERMENT' is not currently available. However, the CIR Expert Panel has concluded that related ingredients such as 'Bovine Milk Proteins and Protein Derivatives' are safe for use in cosmetics. Specifically, Hydrolyzed Casein has been deemed safe at concentrations up to 30% in diluted bath products and 2% in leave-on formulations, showing no dermal irritation or sensitization in animal or human studies. Additionally, 'Lactobacillus Ferment Ingredients' (byproducts of bacteria, not live bacteria) have been assessed as safe for cosmetic applications. Despite these assessments of related components, a specific review for this exact ingredient combination is lacking, leading to 'insufficient data' for a direct assessment.
