BIFIDA/LACTOBACILLUS/(ARCTIUM LAPPA/GINGER/LICORICE) ROOT EXTRACT/YEAST EXTRACT FERMENT LYSATE FILTRATE

Description

This complex ingredient combines probiotic ferments with botanical extracts to create a potent skincare active. The formula starts with Bifida and Lactobacillus, beneficial probiotic bacteria that undergo fermentation to produce postbiotics. These postbiotics can help strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration, and modulate the skin microbiome.

The fermentation process also incorporates extracts from Arctium lappa (burdock), ginger, and licorice roots, along with yeast extract. Burdock root offers anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Ginger provides warming and circulation-boosting effects, while also offering antioxidant protection. Licorice root is known for its skin-soothing and brightening capabilities. Yeast extract contributes additional nutrients and skin-conditioning compounds.

The fermentation of these botanical extracts enhances their bioavailability and creates new beneficial compounds. The resulting filtrate is rich in amino acids, peptides, vitamins, and other bioactive molecules that can nourish and revitalize the skin. This ingredient may help improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, enhance radiance, and support overall skin health by combining probiotic benefits with the power of botanicals.
