LACTOBACILLUS/BETULA PLATYPHYLLA JAPONICA JUICE FERMENT

Description

Lactobacillus/Betula Platyphylla Japonica Juice Ferment is an innovative skincare ingredient that combines the power of probiotic fermentation with the beneficial properties of Japanese white birch. This fermented botanical extract is produced by culturing Lactobacillus bacteria with the juice of Betula platyphylla japonica, a tree native to East Asia.

The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability of the birch juice's natural compounds, including betulin, betulinic acid, and various flavonoids. These components are known for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and skin-soothing properties. The probiotic action of Lactobacillus further contributes to skin health by supporting the skin's microbiome and natural barrier function.

This ingredient has shown potential in improving skin hydration, reducing the appearance of fine lines, and enhancing overall skin texture. It may also help in balancing sebum production and calming sensitive or irritated skin. The ferment's lightweight nature allows for easy absorption, making it suitable for various skincare formulations including serums, essences, and moisturizers.

When incorporated into skincare products, Lactobacillus/Betula Platyphylla Japonica Juice Ferment can offer a multifaceted approach to skin health, addressing concerns such as dryness, aging, and skin sensitivity.
