LACTOBACILLUS/HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN FERMENT FILTRATE EXTRACT

Description

Lactobacillus/Hydrolyzed Collagen Ferment Filtrate Extract is an innovative skincare ingredient that combines the benefits of probiotic fermentation with collagen-derived peptides. This extract is produced through a biofermentation process where Lactobacillus bacteria, known for their beneficial properties in skincare, ferment hydrolyzed collagen. The resulting filtrate is rich in bioactive compounds, including peptides, amino acids, and organic acids.

This ingredient offers multiple benefits for the skin. It helps support the skin's natural barrier function, potentially improving hydration and reducing transepidermal water loss. The probiotic component may assist in balancing the skin's microbiome, which is crucial for overall skin health. Additionally, the peptides derived from hydrolyzed collagen can provide anti-aging benefits, promoting collagen synthesis and improving skin elasticity.

The extract is suitable for various skincare formulations, including serums, creams, and masks. It is particularly beneficial for dry, sensitive, or mature skin types. While generally well-tolerated, patch testing is recommended for individuals with sensitive skin or known allergies. The concentration of this ingredient in formulations typically ranges from 1% to 5%, depending on the desired effect and product type.
