LACTOBACILLUS/CODIUM FRAGILE/ECKLONIA CAVA/UNDARIA PINNATIFIDA FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

LACTOBACILLUS/CODIUM FRAGILE/ECKLONIA CAVA/UNDARIA PINNATIFIDA FERMENT FILTRATE is a complex skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of marine algae by Lactobacillus bacteria. This bioactive compound combines the beneficial properties of three seaweed species: Codium fragile (green algae), Ecklonia cava (brown algae), and Undaria pinnatifida (wakame).

The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability and efficacy of the algae's natural components, including polyphenols, fucoidans, and phlorotannins. These compounds exhibit potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and moisturizing properties, making the ferment filtrate an effective ingredient for addressing multiple skin concerns.

Studies have shown that this ferment filtrate can help improve skin hydration, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and protect against environmental stressors. It may also aid in regulating sebum production and supporting the skin's natural barrier function.

The ingredient is particularly beneficial for sensitive and acne-prone skin types due to its gentle, non-irritating nature. Its ability to balance the skin microbiome and promote a healthy skin ecosystem further enhances its value in skincare formulations targeting various skin conditions and promoting overall skin health.
