LACTOBACILLUS/SACCHAROMYCES/REHMANNIA GLUTINOSA ROOT FERMENT EXTRACT

Description

Lactobacillus/Saccharomyces/Rehmannia Glutinosa Root Ferment Extract is a potent skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of Rehmannia glutinosa root by Lactobacillus and Saccharomyces microorganisms. This bioactive compound harnesses the power of fermentation to enhance the efficacy of traditional herbal extracts.

The fermentation process breaks down complex molecules into smaller, more easily absorbed components, potentially increasing the bioavailability of beneficial compounds. Rehmannia glutinosa, a plant used in traditional Chinese medicine, is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. When fermented, these properties may be amplified.

This extract is reported to have multiple benefits for skin health, including hydration, barrier function support, and potential anti-aging effects. It may help to soothe irritated skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and improve overall skin texture. The probiotic nature of the fermentation process may also contribute to a balanced skin microbiome.

In formulations, this ingredient is typically used at concentrations between 0.1% to 5%, depending on the specific product and desired effects. It is compatible with a wide range of other skincare ingredients and can be incorporated into various product types, including serums, creams, and masks.
