KLUYVEROMYCES/LACTOBACILLUS/SAFFLOWER SEED OIL FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

Kluyveromyces/Lactobacillus/Safflower Seed Oil Ferment Filtrate is an innovative skincare ingredient that combines the benefits of fermentation technology with the nourishing properties of safflower seed oil. This complex ingredient is created through a biofermentation process utilizing Kluyveromyces yeast and Lactobacillus bacteria to transform safflower seed oil into a more bioavailable and potent form.

The fermentation process breaks down the oil's molecular structure, enhancing its ability to penetrate the skin and deliver nutrients more effectively. This filtrate is rich in essential fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid, which helps maintain skin barrier function and reduce moisture loss. The fermentation byproducts also contribute beneficial compounds such as peptides, amino acids, and antioxidants.

Key benefits of this ingredient include improved skin hydration, enhanced barrier function, and potential anti-inflammatory effects. It may also help balance the skin's microbiome due to the probiotic properties of the fermentation organisms. The filtrate is generally well-tolerated by most skin types and can be incorporated into various skincare formulations, including serums, moisturizers, and facial oils. Its lightweight texture and quick absorption make it suitable for layering in multi-step skincare routines.
