BACILLUS/ARTEMISIA VULGARIS EXTRACT/FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

Bacillus/Artemisia Vulgaris Extract/Ferment Filtrate is a novel skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of Artemisia vulgaris (common mugwort) by Bacillus bacteria. This process enhances the bioavailability and efficacy of the plant's beneficial compounds. The extract is rich in antioxidants, flavonoids, and essential oils, which contribute to its anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing properties.

The fermentation process breaks down complex molecules into smaller, more easily absorbed components, potentially increasing skin penetration and effectiveness. This ingredient has shown promise in reducing redness, calming irritated skin, and supporting the skin's natural barrier function. It may also help in regulating sebum production, making it beneficial for acne-prone skin.

Studies suggest that Bacillus/Artemisia Vulgaris Extract/Ferment Filtrate possesses antimicrobial properties, which could aid in managing skin microbiome balance. Its antioxidant content may provide protection against environmental stressors and free radical damage, potentially slowing signs of premature aging. The ingredient is generally well-tolerated and suitable for various skin types, including sensitive skin. However, as with any new skincare ingredient, patch testing is recommended before full application to ensure compatibility with individual skin types.
