Arthrobacter/Hyaluronic Acid Ferment Filtrate

Arthrobacter/Hyaluronic Acid Ferment Filtrate is a bioactive ingredient created through the fermentation of hyaluronic acid using Arthrobacter bacteria. This process breaks down hyaluronic acid into smaller molecular fragments, which may enhance penetration and bioavailability compared to the parent molecule.In skincare formulations, it functions as an emollient and skin conditioning agent. It is designed to support the skin's moisture retention and may help improve the overall feel and hydration of the skin barrier.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural humectant—a molecule that draws water from the environment and deeper skin layers to the surface. The fermentation process reduces the molecular weight of hyaluronic acid, creating smaller fragments that may penetrate more effectively into the epidermis.Once absorbed or distributed in the skin, these fragments work to bind water molecules, supporting skin hydration and maintaining the plumpness and suppleness of the skin. This mechanism helps sustain the skin's moisture balance and supports a healthier-looking appearance.

This ingredient is typically found in serums, essences, and moisturisers and can be used as part of your daily routine. It pairs well with other hydrating or barrier-supporting ingredients. Apply to damp skin or layer under an occlusive moisturiser to optimise hydration. No special preparation or sequencing is required.

Generally well-tolerated across skin types. Fermented ingredients may occasionally trigger sensitivity in those with bacterial fermentation sensitivities, so patch test if you have known sensitivities to fermented ingredients.
