LACTOBACILLUS/PORPHYRIDIUM FERMENT

Description

Lactobacillus/Porphyridium Ferment is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of Porphyridium, a red microalgae, by Lactobacillus bacteria. This unique combination harnesses the benefits of both microorganisms to create a potent bioactive compound. The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability of the algae's nutrients, making them more easily absorbed by the skin.

This ingredient is rich in polysaccharides, proteins, and essential fatty acids, which contribute to its hydrating and skin-barrier strengthening properties. It also contains antioxidants that help protect the skin from environmental stressors and free radical damage. The probiotic nature of Lactobacillus aids in balancing the skin's microbiome, potentially improving overall skin health and reducing inflammation.

Lactobacillus/Porphyridium Ferment has shown promise in improving skin elasticity, reducing the appearance of fine lines, and enhancing overall skin texture. Its gentle nature makes it suitable for various skin types, including sensitive skin. This ingredient is often incorporated into serums, moisturizers, and masks to provide multiple benefits in a single formulation.
