KLUYVEROMYCES/LACTOBACILLUS/SAURURUS CHINENSIS OIL FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

Kluyveromyces/Lactobacillus/Saururus Chinensis Oil Ferment Filtrate is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of Saururus chinensis (lizard's tail) oil using Kluyveromyces and Lactobacillus microorganisms. This bioactive compound harnesses the power of fermentation to enhance the beneficial properties of the plant extract.

The fermentation process breaks down complex molecules, potentially increasing the bioavailability and efficacy of the active components. Saururus chinensis, a plant traditionally used in Asian medicine, contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. The fermentation may amplify these properties, offering enhanced protection against oxidative stress and skin irritation.

This ingredient is believed to support skin barrier function, improve hydration, and promote a balanced microbiome on the skin's surface. It may also have soothing effects, making it suitable for sensitive or reactive skin types. The filtrate is typically water-soluble, allowing for easy incorporation into various skincare formulations.

While promising, further research is needed to fully elucidate the specific benefits and optimal concentrations for different skin concerns. As with any novel ingredient, patch testing is recommended before widespread use in skincare products.
