LACTOCOCCUS/MILK FERMENT LYSATE

Description

Lactococcus/Milk Ferment Lysate is a innovative bioactive ingredient derived from the fermentation of milk by Lactococcus lactis bacteria. This process yields a nutrient-rich extract containing peptides, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals beneficial for skin and hair health. The lysate's composition closely mimics the natural moisturizing factors found in human skin, making it an excellent hydrating agent.

The ingredient's probiotic properties help support the skin's microbiome, enhancing its natural defense mechanisms against environmental stressors. It has been shown to improve skin barrier function, reduce transepidermal water loss, and increase overall skin hydration. Additionally, Lactococcus/Milk Ferment Lysate exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, potentially aiding in the management of various skin conditions such as acne and rosacea.

In haircare formulations, this ingredient can help nourish the scalp, promote hair growth, and improve overall hair health. Its ability to penetrate the hair shaft makes it effective in repairing damaged hair and increasing its strength and elasticity. The lysate's moisturizing properties also help reduce frizz and improve manageability, making it a versatile component in various hair care products.
