LACTOBACILLUS/RICE/CAMELLIA SINENSIS LEAF/TARAXACUM PLATYCARPUM FERMENT EXTRACT

Description

Lactobacillus/Rice/Camellia Sinensis Leaf/Taraxacum Platycarpum Ferment Extract is a complex, bioactive ingredient derived from the fermentation of rice, green tea leaves, and dandelion with Lactobacillus bacteria. This multifaceted extract combines the benefits of probiotic fermentation with the nutritional and antioxidant properties of its botanical components.

The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability and efficacy of the active compounds found in rice, green tea, and dandelion. Rice contributes amino acids and minerals, while green tea (Camellia sinensis) provides potent polyphenols and catechins. Taraxacum platycarpum, a species of dandelion, adds flavonoids and terpenoids to the mix.

This fermented extract exhibits anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and moisturizing properties. It may help to strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration, and protect against environmental stressors. The probiotic action of Lactobacillus can potentially support the skin's microbiome, promoting overall skin health.

In skincare formulations, this ingredient is typically used at concentrations between 0.1% to 5%, depending on the desired effect and product type. It is suitable for various skin types and can be incorporated into serums, moisturizers, and other leave-on products.
