Common Name(s): Iodobacter sp. 7m ferment filtrate,iodobacter sp. 7m ferment filtrate,iodobacter ferment,specialty organism postbiotic
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides organism-specific secondary metabolites and biotransformed actives for skin conditioning from the specialty organism's unique metabolic capabilities.
Why It's Used: Specialty organism ferments provide unique metabolite classes unavailable from standard lab/yeast fermentation — the organism selection determines the characteristic bioactive profile.
How It Works: Iodobacter fermentation: organism-specific enzyme expression → unique secondary metabolite biosynthesis + substrate biotransformation → bioactive postbiotic filtrate.
Typically Found In: Specialty skin care
