LACTOBACILLUS/OLIVE LEAF FERMENT EXTRACT

Description

Lactobacillus/Olive Leaf Ferment Extract is an innovative skincare ingredient that combines the power of probiotic fermentation with the beneficial properties of olive leaves. This extract is produced by fermenting olive leaf extract with Lactobacillus bacteria, resulting in a potent blend of bioactive compounds.

The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability and efficacy of olive leaf polyphenols, particularly oleuropein, which is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This ingredient offers multiple benefits for the skin, including protection against environmental stressors, reduction of oxidative damage, and support for the skin's natural barrier function.

Lactobacillus/Olive Leaf Ferment Extract also exhibits antimicrobial properties, helping to maintain a balanced skin microbiome and potentially aiding in the management of acne-prone skin. Its moisturizing capabilities contribute to improved skin hydration and elasticity.

In formulations, this extract is typically used at concentrations between 0.1% and 3%, depending on the desired effect and product type. It is compatible with a wide range of skincare ingredients and can be incorporated into various products, including serums, moisturizers, and facial masks.
