LACTOBACILLUS/EEL SKIN/BUTYLENE GLYCOL FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

Lactobacillus/Eel Skin/Butylene Glycol Ferment Filtrate is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of eel skin using Lactobacillus bacteria and butylene glycol. This unique combination harnesses the potential benefits of eel skin, known for its high collagen content and moisturizing properties, through a controlled fermentation process.

The fermentation by Lactobacillus bacteria breaks down the eel skin components into smaller, more easily absorbed molecules. This process may enhance the bioavailability of beneficial compounds such as peptides, amino acids, and minerals. Butylene glycol, a common humectant in skincare, aids in the fermentation process and contributes to the final product's moisturizing properties.

This ferment filtrate is believed to offer multiple skin benefits, including improved hydration, enhanced skin barrier function, and potential anti-aging effects. It may help in reducing transepidermal water loss, promoting skin elasticity, and providing a smooth, supple texture to the skin. The ingredient is typically used in various skincare formulations, including serums, essences, and moisturizers, particularly in products targeting hydration and anti-aging concerns.
