BACILLUS/HOUTTUYNIA CORDATA LEAF/SOYBEAN FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

Bacillus/Houttuynia Cordata Leaf/Soybean Ferment Filtrate is an innovative skincare ingredient that combines the power of fermentation with botanical extracts. This complex formulation utilizes Bacillus bacteria to ferment a blend of Houttuynia cordata leaf and soybean, resulting in a potent filtrate rich in beneficial compounds.

The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability of active ingredients, potentially improving their efficacy on the skin. Houttuynia cordata, also known as fish mint, contributes antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, while soybean provides nourishing proteins and isoflavones.

This ingredient may offer multiple skin benefits, including hydration, soothing of irritated skin, and protection against environmental stressors. The fermentation byproducts can also support the skin's natural microbiome, promoting overall skin health.

In formulations, this filtrate is typically used in low concentrations due to its potency. It is compatible with a wide range of skincare products, from serums to moisturizers. While generally well-tolerated, patch testing is recommended for individuals with sensitive skin or known allergies to any of the component ingredients.
