AQUAPHILUS DOLOMIAE FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

Aquaphilus Dolomiae Ferment Filtrate is a bioactive ingredient derived from the fermentation of Aquaphilus dolomiae, a unique microorganism found in Avène Thermal Spring Water. This bacterium thrives in the nutrient-rich, mineral-dense environment of the spring, contributing to its remarkable properties.

The fermentation process of Aquaphilus dolomiae produces a filtrate rich in metabolites, enzymes, and bioactive compounds. These components work synergistically to provide multiple benefits for the skin. The filtrate exhibits potent anti-inflammatory properties, helping to soothe irritated skin and reduce redness. It also demonstrates significant antioxidant activity, protecting the skin from environmental stressors and free radical damage.

Research has shown that Aquaphilus Dolomiae Ferment Filtrate can modulate the skin's microbiome, promoting a balanced and healthy ecosystem on the skin's surface. This action helps strengthen the skin barrier function, improving overall skin resilience and hydration. Additionally, the filtrate has been found to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, making it particularly beneficial for acne-prone and sensitive skin types.

In skincare formulations, this ingredient is typically used in concentrations ranging from 1% to 5%, depending on the desired effect and product type.
