LACTOBACILLUS/TOMATO FRUIT FERMENT EXTRACT

Description

Lactobacillus/Tomato Fruit Ferment Extract is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of tomato fruit by Lactobacillus bacteria. This process enhances the bioavailability of tomato's natural compounds, including lycopene, vitamins C and E, and various antioxidants. The extract offers multiple benefits for skin health and appearance.

The fermentation process breaks down complex molecules into smaller, more easily absorbed components, allowing for better penetration into the skin. This extract helps to protect against oxidative stress and environmental damage, potentially reducing signs of premature aging. It also exhibits moisturizing properties, helping to maintain skin hydration and improve overall texture.

Lactobacillus/Tomato Fruit Ferment Extract may contribute to a more balanced skin microbiome due to its probiotic nature. This can lead to improved skin barrier function and reduced inflammation. The ingredient is suitable for various skincare formulations, including serums, moisturizers, and masks. It is generally well-tolerated by most skin types and can be particularly beneficial for those seeking natural, plant-based skincare solutions with anti-aging and protective properties.
