Common Name(s): Testicular hydrolysate,testicular hydrolysate,postbiotic ferment,biotransformed active
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides fermentation-derived organic acids, exopolysaccharides, and substrate-biotransformed secondary metabolites for skin microbiome support.
Why It's Used: Testicular hydrolysate ferment delivers the characteristic postbiotic metabolite profile of its organism alongside substrate-transformed actives.
How It Works: Fermentation: organism catabolism → organic acids + secondary metabolites; substrate hydrolysis → biotransformed actives in postbiotic filtrate.
Typically Found In: Ferment skin care,microbiome
