What Is Bacillus/Corchorus Olitorius Leaf Ferment Filtrate?
Bacillus/Corchorus Olitorius Leaf Ferment Filtrate is derived from okra leaf that has undergone fermentation using Bacillus bacteria. During this process, the plant material is broken down by microorganisms, which can create smaller molecular compounds and bioactive substances that penetrate the skin more readily than the raw plant alone.
This ingredient functions primarily as a skin conditioner, helping to improve hydration and the overall feel of the skin surface. The fermentation process may enhance the bioavailability of beneficial plant compounds present in okra leaf.
How It Works
Fermentation breaks down plant cell walls and transforms complex molecules into smaller compounds that can be absorbed more effectively by the skin. This filtrate acts as a humectant, drawing water into the outer layers of skin and helping it to remain hydrated.
The Bacillus fermentation process may also generate amino acids, peptides, and polysaccharides — natural moisturising factors that enhance skin conditioning and resilience.
Clinical Evidence & References
Published clinical data on this specific ingredient is limited. Okra leaf itself contains polysaccharides and antioxidants that support skin hydration, and fermentation is known to increase bioavailability of plant compounds in skincare formulations.
While fermented plant filtrates have shown promise in supporting skin barrier function and hydration in broader research, specific efficacy data for this ingredient would benefit from further investigation.
How to Use
This ingredient is typically found in toners, essences, and serums where hydration is the primary goal. Use morning and evening after cleansing, before applying heavier moisturisers. It works well in multi-step routines as a hydrating layer beneath creams or oils.
