ENTEROCOCCUS FAECIUM/SAURURUS CHINENSIS EXTRACT FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

Enterococcus faecium/Saururus chinensis Extract Ferment Filtrate is an innovative skincare ingredient that combines the benefits of bacterial fermentation with plant-based extracts. This complex ingredient is derived from the fermentation of Saururus chinensis, also known as Chinese lizard's tail, by the probiotic bacteria Enterococcus faecium.

The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability of the plant's beneficial compounds, potentially increasing their efficacy in skincare formulations. Saururus chinensis is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which may help protect the skin from environmental stressors and reduce signs of aging.

The filtrate contains various metabolites, enzymes, and peptides produced during fermentation, which can contribute to skin hydration, barrier function improvement, and overall skin health. Some studies suggest that fermented ingredients may have enhanced penetration abilities, allowing for better absorption of active compounds into the skin.

This ingredient is suitable for various skincare products, including serums, moisturizers, and masks. It may be particularly beneficial for individuals seeking to improve skin texture, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall skin appearance. As with any skincare ingredient, patch testing is recommended before widespread use.
