Bacillus/Sea Salt Ferment Filtrate

Bacillus/Sea Salt Ferment Filtrate is produced by fermenting sea salt using Bacillus bacteria, then filtering the resulting liquid to isolate the bioactive compounds. The fermentation process generates metabolites—small molecules produced by the microorganisms—that are retained in the final ingredient.In skincare formulations, this ingredient functions primarily as a skin conditioner. The metabolites from fermentation may include amino acids, organic acids, and other compounds that interact with the skin's surface to influence hydration and texture.

Fermentation generates metabolites that are smaller and potentially more bioavailable than the original ingredients. These compounds can interact with the stratum corneum (the skin's outer layer) to modify how water is retained and how the skin feels to the touch.The exact mechanism depends on which metabolites are present in significant quantities, which can vary between batches and production methods. This is one reason why fermented ingredients remain an area of active research in cosmetic science.

This ingredient is typically incorporated into serums, toners, or lightweight moisturisers at relatively modest concentrations. It works well in layered routines and can be used daily as part of your regular skincare. If your skin feels tight or uncomfortable after use, reduce frequency or discontinue, as some users report this ingredient may potentially exacerbate dryness in sensitive formulations.

Generally well-tolerated. However, fermented ingredients may occasionally trigger sensitivity in those with reactive skin, and some users report increased dryness; patch test if you have a history of reactions to fermented products.
