LACTOBACILLUS/SORBUS COMMIXTA BRANCH FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

Lactobacillus/Sorbus Commixta Branch Ferment Filtrate is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of Sorbus commixta (Japanese rowan) branches by Lactobacillus bacteria. This bioactive compound harnesses the power of fermentation to enhance the natural properties of the plant extract.

The fermentation process breaks down complex molecules into smaller, more easily absorbed components, potentially increasing the bioavailability of beneficial compounds. Sorbus commixta is known for its antioxidant properties, which may help protect the skin from free radical damage and environmental stressors.

This ferment filtrate is believed to possess anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, making it suitable for sensitive or irritated skin. It may also contribute to improving skin hydration and barrier function. Some studies suggest that fermented plant extracts can enhance collagen production and skin elasticity, potentially offering anti-aging benefits.

The ingredient is typically well-tolerated and can be incorporated into various skincare formulations, including serums, moisturizers, and masks. Its lightweight nature allows for easy absorption without leaving a greasy residue on the skin. As with any new skincare ingredient, patch testing is recommended to ensure compatibility with individual skin types.
