LACTOBACILLUS/PHASEOLUS COCCINEUS SEED EXTRACT FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

Lactobacillus/Phaseolus Coccineus Seed Extract Ferment Filtrate is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of scarlet runner bean (Phaseolus coccineus) seeds by Lactobacillus bacteria. This bioactive compound offers multiple benefits for skin health and appearance.

The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability of nutrients and creates unique metabolites, resulting in a potent extract rich in peptides, amino acids, and polysaccharides. These components contribute to improved skin hydration, barrier function, and overall skin health.

Key benefits of this ingredient include:

1. Moisturization: Helps retain skin moisture and improve hydration levels.
2. Anti-aging: Supports collagen production and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
3. Soothing properties: Calms irritated skin and reduces redness.
4. Antioxidant activity: Protects skin from environmental stressors and free radical damage.
5. Microbiome support: Promotes a balanced skin microbiome, contributing to overall skin health.

The filtrate is typically used in concentrations ranging from 1-5% in various skincare formulations, including serums, creams, and masks. Its compatibility with other ingredients and stability in formulations make it a versatile choice for formulators seeking to create effective, multifunctional skincare products.
