LACTOBACILLUS/ARGININE/LYCIUM CHINENSE FRUIT EXTRACT FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

Lactobacillus/Arginine/Lycium Chinense Fruit Extract Ferment Filtrate is an innovative skincare ingredient that combines the benefits of probiotic fermentation with potent botanical extracts. This complex ingredient is created through the fermentation of Lycium chinense (goji berry) fruit extract with Lactobacillus bacteria and the amino acid arginine.

The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability and efficacy of the goji berry's antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Lactobacillus fermentation produces beneficial postbiotics, including lactic acid and peptides, which can improve skin barrier function and hydration. Arginine, an essential amino acid, supports collagen synthesis and aids in skin repair.

This ingredient offers multiple benefits for the skin, including:
1. Antioxidant protection against free radical damage
2. Improved skin barrier function and hydration
3. Enhanced collagen production for firmer skin
4. Soothing and anti-inflammatory properties
5. Potential brightening effects due to vitamin C content in goji berries

The filtrate is typically clear to slightly cloudy in appearance and has a mild, characteristic odor. It is water-soluble and can be incorporated into various skincare formulations, including serums, essences, and moisturizers. This ingredient is particularly suitable for anti-aging, brightening, and sensitive skin products.
