LACTOCOCCUS/LEUCONOSTOC/LACTOBACILLUS/ZYGOSACCHAROMYCES/MILK FERMENT

Description

Lactococcus/Leuconostoc/Lactobacillus/Zygosaccharomyces/Milk Ferment is a complex probiotic ingredient derived from the fermentation of milk by multiple beneficial bacteria and yeast strains. This bioactive compound is rich in lactic acid, enzymes, peptides, and other metabolites produced during the fermentation process. The combination of these microorganisms works synergistically to enhance the overall benefits of the ferment.

This ingredient offers multiple skincare benefits, including improved hydration, enhanced barrier function, and increased skin resilience. The lactic acid component provides gentle exfoliation, promoting cell turnover and improving skin texture. Peptides and enzymes in the ferment help to stimulate collagen production and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The probiotic nature of this ingredient supports a healthy skin microbiome, potentially reducing inflammation and improving conditions such as acne and eczema. Additionally, the fermentation process increases the bioavailability of nutrients, allowing for better absorption and utilization by the skin.

Lactococcus/Leuconostoc/Lactobacillus/Zygosaccharomyces/Milk Ferment is suitable for various skin types and can be incorporated into a wide range of skincare formulations, including serums, creams, and masks.
