LACTOBACILLUS/LICORICE ROOT EXTRACT FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

Lactobacillus/Licorice Root Extract Ferment Filtrate is an innovative skincare ingredient that combines the benefits of probiotic fermentation with the soothing properties of licorice root. This ingredient is created through a fermentation process where Lactobacillus bacteria are used to break down licorice root extract, resulting in a filtrate rich in bioactive compounds.

The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability and efficacy of licorice root's natural components, including glabridin and licochalcone A. These compounds are known for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and skin-brightening properties. The filtrate also contains postbiotics, which are beneficial metabolites produced during fermentation that can support skin barrier function and microbiome balance.

This ingredient is particularly effective in addressing hyperpigmentation, redness, and irritation. It can help to even skin tone, reduce the appearance of dark spots, and soothe sensitive or stressed skin. The probiotic fermentation aspect may also contribute to improved skin hydration and enhanced absorption of other skincare actives.

Lactobacillus/Licorice Root Extract Ferment Filtrate is suitable for various skincare formulations, including serums, essences, and moisturizers, making it a versatile addition to advanced skincare routines.
