BACILLUS/FOLIC ACID/SOYBEAN FERMENT EXTRACT

Description

Bacillus/Folic Acid/Soybean Ferment Extract is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of soybeans by Bacillus bacteria in the presence of folic acid. This unique combination harnesses the power of probiotics, nutrients, and plant-based compounds to deliver multiple benefits to the skin.

The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability of soybean's natural compounds, including isoflavones and peptides, while the Bacillus bacteria contribute beneficial enzymes and postbiotics. Folic acid, a B-vitamin, plays a crucial role in cell regeneration and DNA repair.

This extract offers potent antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize free radicals and combat oxidative stress. It supports skin barrier function, promotes hydration, and may assist in reducing inflammation. The ingredient has shown potential in improving skin texture, enhancing firmness, and promoting a more even skin tone.

Studies suggest that Bacillus/Folic Acid/Soybean Ferment Extract may also have mild brightening effects and could help in regulating sebum production, making it suitable for various skin types. Its probiotic nature may contribute to maintaining a healthy skin microbiome, which is essential for overall skin health.
