LEUCONOSTOC/SACCHAROMYCES/OCTOPUS MANTLE FERMENT EXTRACT FILTRATE

Description

Leuconostoc/Saccharomyces/Octopus Mantle Ferment Extract Filtrate is a unique and innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of marine and microbial sources. This complex extract combines the beneficial properties of Leuconostoc and Saccharomyces yeasts with bioactive compounds from octopus mantle tissue.

The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability and efficacy of the extract's components, which include peptides, amino acids, and polysaccharides. These elements work synergistically to provide multiple skin benefits. The ingredient demonstrates potent antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize free radicals and protect the skin from environmental stressors.

Additionally, it exhibits moisturizing capabilities, improving skin hydration and barrier function. The extract has shown promise in promoting collagen synthesis and enhancing skin elasticity, potentially reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Its anti-inflammatory properties may help soothe irritated skin and reduce redness.

In formulations, this ingredient is typically used at concentrations between 0.1% to 2%. It is compatible with a wide range of skincare products, including serums, creams, and masks. While generally well-tolerated, patch testing is recommended for individuals with sensitive skin or known allergies to marine-derived ingredients.
