LACTOBACILLUS/ASTRAGALUS MEMBRANACEUS ROOT EXTRACT FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

Lactobacillus/Astragalus Membranaceus Root Extract Ferment Filtrate is a innovative skincare ingredient that combines the benefits of probiotic fermentation with traditional herbal medicine. This complex ingredient is derived from the fermentation of Astragalus membranaceus root extract by Lactobacillus bacteria, followed by a filtration process to isolate the bioactive compounds.

Astragalus membranaceus, a key herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine, is known for its adaptogenic and immune-boosting properties. The fermentation process by Lactobacillus enhances the bioavailability and efficacy of the root extract's beneficial compounds. This ferment filtrate is rich in polysaccharides, flavonoids, and saponins, which contribute to its skin-protective and anti-aging effects.

The ingredient demonstrates potent antioxidant activity, helping to neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress in the skin. It also exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, potentially soothing irritated skin and reducing redness. Additionally, the ferment filtrate may support skin barrier function, improve hydration, and promote collagen production, leading to a more resilient and youthful-looking complexion. Its probiotic nature may also help balance the skin's microbiome, fostering a healthier skin ecosystem.
