LACTOBACILLUS/OPUNTIA FICUS-INDICA EXTRACT FERMENT EXTRACT FILTRATE

Description

Lactobacillus/Opuntia Ficus-Indica Extract Ferment Extract Filtrate is an innovative skincare ingredient that combines the benefits of probiotic fermentation with the properties of prickly pear cactus extract. This multifaceted ingredient is derived from the fermentation of Opuntia ficus-indica (prickly pear cactus) extract by Lactobacillus bacteria, followed by filtration to isolate the bioactive compounds.

The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability and efficacy of the cactus extract's natural components, including antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. This ingredient offers potent hydrating properties, helping to maintain skin moisture levels and improve overall skin barrier function. It also exhibits anti-inflammatory and soothing effects, making it suitable for sensitive or irritated skin.

The probiotic aspect of this ingredient contributes to balancing the skin's microbiome, potentially improving its resilience against environmental stressors. Additionally, the antioxidant content helps protect the skin from free radical damage, supporting anti-aging efforts. This extract may also aid in improving skin texture and promoting a more even skin tone.

Suitable for various skincare formulations, this ingredient can be incorporated into serums, moisturizers, and masks to deliver its multifaceted benefits.
