ENTEROCOCCUS FAECIUM/LACTOBACILLUS/SALIX PURPUREA BARK/LEAF/STEM/WOOD/ASCORBIC ACID/ GLUCONOLACTONE FERMENT EXTRACT FILTRATE

Description

ENTEROCOCCUS FAECIUM/LACTOBACILLUS/SALIX PURPUREA BARK/LEAF/STEM/WOOD/ASCORBIC ACID/GLUCONOLACTONE FERMENT EXTRACT FILTRATE is a complex skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of natural components. This bioactive compound combines the probiotic benefits of Enterococcus faecium and Lactobacillus bacteria with the anti-inflammatory and astringent properties of Salix purpurea (purple willow) extracts.

The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability of the active compounds, including salicin from willow bark, which is known for its exfoliating and soothing effects. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) contributes antioxidant properties, promoting collagen synthesis and brightening the skin. Gluconolactone, a polyhydroxy acid, provides gentle exfoliation and hydration.

This multifaceted ingredient offers several potential benefits for skin health:
1. Balancing the skin microbiome
2. Reducing inflammation and redness
3. Improving skin texture and tone
4. Enhancing moisture retention
5. Protecting against environmental stressors

The filtrate is typically well-tolerated by most skin types and can be incorporated into various skincare formulations, including serums, moisturizers, and toners. Its natural origin and fermentation process make it particularly appealing for clean beauty formulations seeking to harness the power of probiotics and plant-based ingredients.
