LACTOBACILLUS/GERMINATED SOYBEAN FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

Lactobacillus/Germinated Soybean Ferment Filtrate is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of germinated soybeans using Lactobacillus bacteria. This process enhances the bioavailability of beneficial compounds found in soybeans, including isoflavones, peptides, and amino acids.

The fermentation process breaks down complex molecules into smaller, more easily absorbed components, potentially increasing their efficacy on the skin. This ingredient is known for its moisturizing, anti-aging, and skin-brightening properties. It may help improve skin elasticity, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and promote a more even skin tone.

Research suggests that this ferment filtrate can support the skin's natural barrier function, helping to retain moisture and protect against environmental stressors. Its probiotic nature may also contribute to a balanced skin microbiome, which is crucial for maintaining healthy skin.

Additionally, the antioxidant properties of soybean isoflavones, enhanced through fermentation, may offer protection against free radical damage and oxidative stress. This ingredient is generally well-tolerated and suitable for various skin types, making it a versatile addition to skincare formulations targeting hydration, anti-aging, and overall skin health.
