MICROCOCCUS/HYDROLYZED NONFAT MILK FERMENT

Description

Micrococcus/Hydrolyzed Nonfat Milk Ferment is an innovative skincare ingredient that combines the benefits of probiotic fermentation with milk-derived nutrients. This complex is created through the fermentation of nonfat milk by Micrococcus bacteria, resulting in a bioactive compound rich in peptides, amino acids, and lactic acid.

The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability of milk proteins, breaking them down into smaller, more easily absorbed molecules. This increases their efficacy in skin hydration, barrier function support, and cellular renewal. The probiotic component contributes to maintaining a healthy skin microbiome, potentially reducing inflammation and improving overall skin health.

Key benefits of this ingredient include improved skin texture, enhanced moisture retention, and increased firmness. It may also help in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by promoting collagen synthesis. The lactic acid produced during fermentation provides gentle exfoliation, contributing to a brighter, more even skin tone.

This ingredient is particularly suitable for sensitive and dry skin types, as it offers nourishment without irritation. It can be incorporated into various skincare formulations, including serums, creams, and masks, to provide multifaceted benefits for skin health and appearance.
