LACTOBACILLUS/LANOLIN FERMENT EXTRACT

Description

Lactobacillus/Lanolin Ferment Extract is an innovative skincare ingredient that combines the benefits of probiotic fermentation with the moisturizing properties of lanolin. This extract is produced through the fermentation of lanolin by Lactobacillus bacteria, resulting in a unique compound with enhanced skin-friendly properties.

The fermentation process breaks down lanolin into smaller, more easily absorbed molecules, potentially increasing its efficacy and reducing the risk of allergic reactions associated with raw lanolin. This extract offers potent moisturizing and emollient properties, helping to maintain skin hydration and improve barrier function.

Lactobacillus fermentation may also introduce beneficial metabolites and enzymes that can support skin health. These may include lactic acid, which can provide gentle exfoliation and promote cell turnover, as well as various peptides and antioxidants that can help protect the skin from environmental stressors.

The extract is particularly suitable for dry, sensitive, or mature skin types. It can be incorporated into various skincare formulations, including creams, lotions, and serums, to provide hydration, improve skin texture, and enhance overall skin health.
