Description

Lactobacillus/Telopea Speciosissima Flower/Leaf Ferment Filtrate is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of Telopea speciosissima, commonly known as the Waratah flower, native to Australia. This bioactive compound is produced through a controlled fermentation process using Lactobacillus bacteria, which enhances the extraction and bioavailability of beneficial plant compounds.

The filtrate is rich in antioxidants, particularly flavonoids and phenolic compounds, which help protect the skin from oxidative stress and environmental damage. It also contains natural prebiotics that support a healthy skin microbiome, potentially improving skin barrier function and overall skin health.

Studies have shown that this ferment filtrate possesses anti-inflammatory properties, making it suitable for sensitive and reactive skin types. It may help reduce redness and soothe irritated skin. Additionally, the ingredient has demonstrated moisturizing capabilities, helping to improve skin hydration and elasticity.

In formulations, Lactobacillus/Telopea Speciosissima Flower/Leaf Ferment Filtrate is typically used at concentrations between 1-5%. It is compatible with a wide range of skincare ingredients and can be incorporated into various product types, including serums, creams, and masks.
