LACTOBACILLUS/HIBISCUS SABDARIFFA FLOWER FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

Lactobacillus/Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Ferment Filtrate is an innovative skincare ingredient that combines the benefits of probiotic fermentation with the antioxidant-rich properties of hibiscus flowers. This filtrate is produced through the fermentation of Hibiscus sabdariffa flowers by Lactobacillus bacteria, resulting in a potent blend of bioactive compounds.

The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability of hibiscus extracts, known for their high content of organic acids, anthocyanins, and polyphenols. These compounds contribute to the ingredient's skin-brightening, anti-aging, and hydrating properties. The probiotic component supports the skin's microbiome, potentially improving barrier function and reducing inflammation.

This ingredient exhibits mild exfoliating properties due to its natural alpha-hydroxy acid content, promoting cell turnover and improving skin texture. It also demonstrates antioxidant activity, helping to protect the skin from environmental stressors and free radical damage. The ferment filtrate may aid in balancing skin pH and has shown potential in regulating sebum production, making it suitable for various skin types.

In formulations, Lactobacillus/Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Ferment Filtrate can be incorporated into serums, essences, and moisturizers to enhance overall skin health and appearance.
