BIFIDA/ENTEROCOCCUS FAECIUM/LACTOBACILLUS/STREPTOCOCCUS THERMOPHILUS/SOYMILK FERMENT EXTRACT

Description

Bifida/Enterococcus Faecium/Lactobacillus/Streptococcus Thermophilus/Soymilk Ferment Extract is a complex probiotic-based skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of soymilk using multiple beneficial bacteria strains. This potent blend combines the skin-enhancing properties of probiotics with the nourishing benefits of fermented soymilk.

The fermentation process breaks down soymilk components into smaller, more easily absorbed molecules, while the probiotic strains produce beneficial metabolites. This synergistic combination offers multiple skin benefits, including improved barrier function, enhanced hydration, and reduced inflammation. The probiotic extracts help balance the skin's microbiome, potentially reducing acne-causing bacteria and supporting overall skin health.

Rich in antioxidants, peptides, and amino acids, this ferment extract aids in protecting the skin from environmental stressors and promoting cellular renewal. It may also help in reducing the appearance of fine lines and improving skin texture. The ingredient is particularly beneficial for sensitive, acne-prone, or mature skin types.

When formulating with this extract, it's essential to consider its stability and pH sensitivity. It's typically used in concentrations ranging from 1-5% in various skincare products, including serums, moisturizers, and masks.
