LACTOBACILLUS/SKELETONEMA FERMENT

Description

Lactobacillus/Skeletonema Ferment is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of Lactobacillus bacteria and Skeletonema microalgae. This unique combination harnesses the power of probiotics and marine biotechnology to deliver multiple benefits to the skin.

The fermentation process produces a complex mixture of bioactive compounds, including peptides, amino acids, and polysaccharides. These molecules work synergistically to enhance skin barrier function, improve hydration, and promote a balanced microbiome. The probiotic component from Lactobacillus helps to strengthen the skin's natural defenses against environmental stressors and pathogens.

Skeletonema, a marine diatom, contributes antioxidant properties and trace minerals that support skin health and cellular regeneration. This ferment has shown potential in reducing inflammation, soothing sensitive skin, and improving overall skin texture.

Clinical studies have demonstrated the ingredient's efficacy in increasing skin hydration by up to 24% after four weeks of use. It has also been found to enhance the production of ceramides, essential lipids that maintain skin barrier integrity.

Lactobacillus/Skeletonema Ferment is suitable for various skincare formulations, including serums, creams, and masks, making it a versatile addition to advanced skincare products.
