LACTOBACILLUS/SOYMILK FERMENT

Description

Lactobacillus/Soymilk Ferment is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of soymilk using Lactobacillus bacteria. This process enhances the bioavailability of soy isoflavones and creates beneficial postbiotics. The ferment is rich in amino acids, peptides, and organic acids that contribute to skin health and appearance.

Key benefits include moisturization, skin barrier support, and potential anti-aging effects. The ferment's hydrating properties help maintain skin moisture levels, while its prebiotic nature may support a balanced skin microbiome. Studies suggest it can improve skin elasticity and firmness, potentially reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Lactobacillus/Soymilk Ferment also exhibits antioxidant properties, helping to protect the skin from environmental stressors and free radical damage. Its gentle nature makes it suitable for various skin types, including sensitive skin. The ingredient may aid in reducing inflammation and redness, promoting a more even skin tone.

In formulations, it is typically used at concentrations between 1-5%. It pairs well with other hydrating and nourishing ingredients, enhancing overall product efficacy in skincare routines targeting hydration, anti-aging, and skin barrier support.
