KLUYVEROMYCES/LACTOBACILLUS/SAPINDUS MUKOROSSI FRUIT OIL FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

Kluyveromyces/Lactobacillus/Sapindus Mukorossi Fruit Oil Ferment Filtrate is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of Sapindus mukorossi (soapberry) fruit oil using Kluyveromyces and Lactobacillus microorganisms. This complex bioactive compound offers multiple benefits for skin health and appearance.

The fermentation process enhances the natural properties of soapberry oil, known for its gentle cleansing and moisturizing effects. Kluyveromyces yeast and Lactobacillus bacteria produce enzymes and metabolites that break down the oil into smaller, more easily absorbed molecules. This results in improved skin penetration and efficacy.

Key benefits include:
1. Gentle cleansing without stripping natural oils
2. Enhanced hydration and moisture retention
3. Mild exfoliation through enzymatic action
4. Potential antimicrobial properties to support skin balance
5. Antioxidant protection against environmental stressors

The filtrate is rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that nourish the skin. Its pH-balancing properties help maintain the skin's protective barrier. This ingredient is suitable for various skincare formulations, including cleansers, toners, and moisturizers. It is particularly beneficial for sensitive and combination skin types, offering a natural alternative to harsh synthetic surfactants.
