LACTOBACILLUS/WHEY FERMENT

Description

Lactobacillus/Whey Ferment is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of whey by Lactobacillus bacteria. This process creates a nutrient-rich extract that offers multiple benefits for the skin. The fermentation enhances the bioavailability of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids naturally present in whey, making them more easily absorbed by the skin.

This ingredient is known for its moisturizing properties, helping to improve skin hydration and maintain a healthy skin barrier. It contains lactic acid, a natural alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that gently exfoliates the skin, promoting cell turnover and improving skin texture. The probiotic nature of Lactobacillus contributes to balancing the skin's microbiome, potentially reducing inflammation and supporting overall skin health.

Lactobacillus/Whey Ferment also exhibits antioxidant properties, helping to protect the skin from environmental stressors and free radical damage. It may aid in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a more youthful complexion. This ingredient is generally well-tolerated by most skin types and can be incorporated into various skincare formulations, including serums, moisturizers, and masks.
