Lactobacillus ferment is a non-living probiotic ingredient created through the fermentation of the Lactobacillus microorganism. When applied to the skin, it has a powerful soothing effect, enhancing the skin’s defense against external aggressors. Research suggests that this ferment supports a healthy skin microbiome, which can reduce the risk and visible severity of various common skin conditions.
What is Lactobacillus ferment?Let's breakdown the name first that is "Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate".
Lactobacillus is a very common type of bacteria. It's famous for being a "good" bacteria. We often call them probiotics. You even have them naturally in your gut, helping you digest food!
Fermentation is what happens when bacteria eat something (like sugars) and then transform it into other useful things. This is how milk turns into yogurt, or grapes turn into wine.
Byproducts are the beneficial things that come out when the bacteria are broken down:
Your skin has its own tiny ecosystem of bacteria, just like your gut. This is called your skin microbiome. Sometimes, the "bad" bacteria can outnumber the "good" ones, leading to issues like acne, redness, or dryness. Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate helps to promote the growth of good bacteria and create a more balanced, healthy environment on your skin.
In simpler terms, it's like giving your skin a healthy dose of the beneficial "gifts" produced by friendly bacteria, helping your skin's natural defenses and overall health.
