BACILLUS/EQUISETUM ARVENSE EXTRACT FERMENT

Description

Bacillus/Equisetum Arvense Extract Ferment is an innovative skincare ingredient that combines the benefits of bacterial fermentation with the properties of horsetail extract. This bioactive compound is created through the fermentation of Equisetum arvense (horsetail) extract by Bacillus species bacteria. The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability and efficacy of the horsetail extract's natural compounds.

Equisetum arvense is rich in silica, flavonoids, and antioxidants, which contribute to skin health and elasticity. The bacterial fermentation process breaks down these components into smaller, more easily absorbed molecules. This ferment offers potential benefits such as improved skin hydration, enhanced collagen production, and increased antioxidant protection against environmental stressors.

The ingredient may help in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a more even skin tone, and supporting overall skin barrier function. Its antioxidant properties can aid in neutralizing free radicals, potentially slowing down signs of premature aging. Additionally, the fermentation process may introduce beneficial postbiotics that can support the skin's microbiome, contributing to a healthier, more balanced complexion.
