LACTOBACILLUS/SOLANUM LYCOPERSICUM FERMENT EXTRACT

Description

Lactobacillus/Solanum Lycopersicum Ferment Extract is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) by Lactobacillus bacteria. This bioactive compound harnesses the power of probiotic fermentation to enhance the skin-beneficial properties of tomatoes. The extract is rich in lycopene, a potent antioxidant that helps protect the skin from free radical damage and environmental stressors. It also contains vitamins A and C, which contribute to skin renewal and collagen production. The fermentation process breaks down the tomato's cellular structure, increasing the bioavailability of these nutrients and creating new bioactive peptides. This ingredient has shown potential in improving skin texture, reducing fine lines, and enhancing overall skin tone. Its natural moisturizing properties help maintain skin hydration, while its mild exfoliating action promotes cell turnover. Additionally, the probiotic nature of the ferment may support the skin's microbiome, contributing to a healthier skin barrier. Suitable for various skin types, this extract can be incorporated into serums, moisturizers, and anti-aging formulations for its multifaceted benefits.
