LACTOBACILLUS/ERIGERON ANNUUS FERMENT EXTRACT FILTRATE

Description

Lactobacillus/Erigeron annuus Ferment Extract Filtrate is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of Erigeron annuus (annual fleabane) by Lactobacillus bacteria. This process enhances the bioavailability and efficacy of the plant's beneficial compounds. The extract is rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, and other antioxidants that offer potent skin-protective properties.

The ingredient demonstrates significant anti-inflammatory effects, helping to soothe irritated skin and reduce redness. It also exhibits antimicrobial activity, potentially aiding in the management of acne-prone skin. The fermentation process produces lactic acid, which provides gentle exfoliation and promotes cell turnover, contributing to improved skin texture and tone.

Research indicates that this filtrate may help strengthen the skin barrier function, enhancing moisture retention and protecting against environmental stressors. It has shown potential in supporting collagen synthesis, which could contribute to improved skin elasticity and firmness. The ingredient's antioxidant properties also help combat free radical damage, potentially slowing signs of premature aging.

Lactobacillus/Erigeron annuus Ferment Extract Filtrate is generally well-tolerated by most skin types and can be incorporated into various skincare formulations, including serums, creams, and masks.
