LACTOBACILLUS/OLEA EUROPAEA LEAF FERMENT EXTRACT

Description

Lactobacillus/Olea Europaea Leaf Ferment Extract is an innovative skincare ingredient that combines the power of probiotic fermentation with the benefits of olive leaf extract. This unique compound is created through the fermentation of olive leaf extract by Lactobacillus bacteria, resulting in a bioactive ingredient with enhanced properties.

The fermentation process breaks down the olive leaf extract, increasing its bioavailability and potency. This extract is rich in oleuropein, a polyphenol compound known for its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These characteristics make it effective in protecting the skin from environmental stressors and reducing signs of aging.

The probiotic element of this ingredient supports the skin's microbiome, helping to maintain a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria on the skin's surface. This can lead to improved skin barrier function and overall skin health. Additionally, the fermentation process may generate new bioactive compounds that offer further skincare benefits.

Lactobacillus/Olea Europaea Leaf Ferment Extract is suitable for various skincare formulations, including serums, creams, and masks. It is particularly beneficial for addressing concerns such as inflammation, oxidative stress, and premature aging.
