LENTISPHAERA ARANEOSA FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

Lentisphaera araneosa ferment filtrate is a novel skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of Lentisphaera araneosa, a marine bacterium found in coastal waters. This filtrate is rich in unique polysaccharides and bioactive compounds that offer potential benefits for skin health and appearance.

The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability of the bacterium's metabolites, resulting in a potent extract. Key components include exopolysaccharides, which form a protective film on the skin, helping to improve hydration and reduce transepidermal water loss. These polysaccharides also demonstrate antioxidant properties, potentially shielding the skin from environmental stressors and free radical damage.

Preliminary studies suggest that Lentisphaera araneosa ferment filtrate may have anti-inflammatory effects, making it a promising ingredient for sensitive or irritated skin. It may also contribute to skin barrier function improvement and support the natural microbiome of the skin.

In formulations, this ingredient is typically used at concentrations between 1-5%. It is compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients and can be incorporated into various skincare products, including serums, moisturizers, and masks. Further research is ongoing to fully elucidate its mechanisms of action and long-term benefits for skin health.
