LACTOBACILLUS/SALIX ALBA BARK FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

Lactobacillus/Salix Alba Bark Ferment Filtrate is a innovative skincare ingredient that combines the benefits of probiotic fermentation with the natural properties of white willow bark. This bioactive compound is created through the fermentation of Salix alba (white willow) bark extract by Lactobacillus bacteria, resulting in a potent filtrate rich in bioavailable compounds.

The fermentation process enhances the bioactivity of white willow bark's natural salicylates, including salicin, which is known for its anti-inflammatory and exfoliating properties. These compounds are converted into more easily absorbed forms, potentially increasing their efficacy on the skin. The filtrate also contains lactic acid, a byproduct of Lactobacillus fermentation, which contributes to gentle exfoliation and hydration.

This ingredient offers multiple benefits for skin health, including:
1. Mild exfoliation to improve skin texture
2. Anti-inflammatory effects to soothe irritated skin
3. Potential antimicrobial properties to support skin balance
4. Hydration through the humectant properties of fermentation byproducts

Lactobacillus/Salix Alba Bark Ferment Filtrate is suitable for various skincare formulations, particularly those targeting acne-prone, sensitive, or aging skin types. Its natural origin and multifunctional properties make it a valuable addition to serums, toners, and moisturizers.
