 LACTOBACILLUS/RHODOPSEUDOMONAS/SACCHAROMYCES/SUCROSE/(SCUTELLARIA BAICALENSIS/COPTIS CHINENSIS) ROOT/PHELLODENDRON AMURENSE BARK/LONICERA JAPONICA FLOWER/CHAENOMELES SINENSIS FRUIT/CAMELLIA SINENSIS LEAF/BRASSICA OLERACEA ITALICA FERMENT FILTRATE 

Description

This complex ingredient blend combines probiotic ferments with traditional Asian botanical extracts to create a multifunctional skincare active. The fermentation process, utilizing Lactobacillus, Rhodopseudomonas, and Saccharomyces microorganisms, breaks down the plant materials into smaller, more bioavailable compounds. This enhances their absorption and efficacy on the skin.

The botanical extracts, including Scutellaria baicalensis root, Coptis chinensis root, and Phellodendron amurense bark, are known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Lonicera japonica flower and Chaenomeles sinensis fruit contribute additional antioxidants and skin-soothing benefits. Camellia sinensis leaf, rich in polyphenols, offers further protection against free radical damage.

Brassica oleracea italica (broccoli) ferment filtrate is a source of sulforaphane, a compound with potential anti-aging and detoxifying effects on the skin. The inclusion of sucrose acts as a natural humectant, helping to maintain skin hydration.

This ingredient combination aims to address multiple skin concerns simultaneously, including inflammation, oxidative stress, and moisture loss, while potentially supporting the skin's microbiome through its probiotic components.
