NOCARDIOIDES/PHYTOSTEROLS FERMENT EXTRACT.

Insufficient Data / HUMECTANT, SKIN CONDITIONING

This ingredient is a fermented extract combining Nocardioides and phytosterols, primarily utilized for its humectant and skin conditioning properties. Fermentation is hypothesized to enhance its beneficial biological activities on the skin.

Summary

humectant skin conditioning antioxidant anti-inflammatory

Science

Mechanism of Action

Nocardioides/Phytosterols Ferment Extract operates as a humectant, attracting and retaining moisture in the skin to support hydration. Concurrently, it functions as a skin conditioning agent, aiming to improve the skin's overall texture and suppleness. The fermentation process is generally understood to augment the concentration of beneficial compounds or introduce novel phytochemicals, potentially leading to enhanced anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, wound-healing, anti-melanogenic, and antioxidant effects.
