BACILLUS/LACTOBACILLUS/STREPTOCOCCUS THERMOPHILUS/ALPINIA SPECIOSA LEAF EXTRACT FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

BACILLUS/LACTOBACILLUS/STREPTOCOCCUS THERMOPHILUS/ALPINIA SPECIOSA LEAF EXTRACT FERMENT FILTRATE is a complex, multi-strain probiotic ingredient derived from the fermentation of Alpinia speciosa (ginger lily) leaf extract with beneficial bacteria. This bioactive compound harnesses the power of microbiome science to support skin health and function.

The fermentation process by Bacillus, Lactobacillus, and Streptococcus thermophilus bacteria produces metabolites, enzymes, and organic acids that offer multiple benefits for the skin. These include strengthening the skin barrier, balancing the skin's microbiome, and providing antioxidant protection. The inclusion of Alpinia speciosa leaf extract contributes additional anti-inflammatory and soothing properties.

This ingredient has been shown to enhance skin hydration, reduce transepidermal water loss, and improve overall skin texture. It may also help to modulate the skin's immune response, potentially benefiting conditions such as acne and eczema. The probiotic components support the growth of beneficial skin flora while inhibiting harmful bacteria, promoting a healthy skin ecosystem.

In formulations, this ingredient is typically used at concentrations between 1-5% and is compatible with a wide range of cosmetic bases. It is particularly suitable for sensitive, acne-prone, or compromised skin types.
