ENTEROCOCCUS FAECIUM/RHEUM PALMATUM ROOT EXTRACT FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

Enterococcus faecium/Rheum palmatum root extract ferment filtrate is an innovative skincare ingredient that combines probiotic technology with traditional herbal extracts. This unique compound is created through the fermentation of Rheum palmatum (Chinese rhubarb) root extract by the probiotic bacteria Enterococcus faecium. The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability and efficacy of the active compounds present in the rhubarb root.

The filtrate is rich in antioxidants, particularly polyphenols and anthraglycosides, which offer potent free radical scavenging properties. These compounds help protect the skin from oxidative stress and environmental damage. Additionally, the fermentation process produces postbiotics, which can support the skin's natural microbiome and strengthen its barrier function.

This ingredient demonstrates anti-inflammatory and soothing effects, making it suitable for sensitive and reactive skin types. It also exhibits mild exfoliating properties, promoting cell turnover and improving skin texture. The filtrate may help regulate sebum production, making it beneficial for oily and acne-prone skin. Furthermore, it has shown potential in improving skin hydration and enhancing overall skin tone and radiance.
