LACTOBACILLUS/PRUNUS MUME FLOWER EXTRACT FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

Lactobacillus/Prunus Mume Flower Extract Ferment Filtrate is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of Prunus mume (Japanese apricot) flower extract by Lactobacillus bacteria. This process enhances the bioavailability and efficacy of the extract's beneficial compounds.

The fermentation produces a complex mixture of probiotics, organic acids, and bioactive metabolites that offer multiple skin benefits. These include improved hydration, enhanced skin barrier function, and potential anti-inflammatory effects. The filtrate is rich in antioxidants, which help protect the skin from environmental stressors and free radical damage.

Studies suggest that this ingredient may help balance the skin's microbiome, potentially aiding in the management of acne and other skin conditions. Its moisturizing properties can contribute to a smoother, more supple skin texture. Additionally, the ferment filtrate may promote collagen production, supporting skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines.

This ingredient is suitable for various skin types and can be incorporated into serums, essences, and moisturizers. It aligns with the growing trend of probiotic and fermented ingredients in skincare, offering a natural approach to skin health and rejuvenation.
