KLUYVEROMYCES/LACTOBACILLUS/OPHIOPOGON JAPONICUS ROOT OIL FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

Kluyveromyces/Lactobacillus/Ophiopogon Japonicus Root Oil Ferment Filtrate is an innovative skincare ingredient that combines the power of fermentation with traditional botanical extracts. This complex ingredient is derived from the fermentation of Ophiopogon japonicus root oil using Kluyveromyces and Lactobacillus, two beneficial microorganisms known for their skin-enhancing properties.

The fermentation process breaks down the root oil into smaller, more easily absorbed molecules, potentially increasing its bioavailability and efficacy. Ophiopogon japonicus, also known as Mondo grass, has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for its moisturizing and soothing properties. The fermentation by Kluyveromyces and Lactobacillus may enhance these benefits while introducing additional skin-friendly compounds.

This ingredient is believed to offer multiple benefits for the skin, including hydration, barrier function support, and potential anti-inflammatory effects. It may also contribute to the overall skin microbiome health due to the probiotic nature of the fermentation process. The filtrate is typically clear to slightly cloudy in appearance and can be incorporated into various skincare formulations, including serums, essences, and moisturizers. Further research is ongoing to fully elucidate its mechanisms of action and long-term benefits for skin health.
