Cutibacterium Granulosum Ferment Extract Filtrate

Cutibacterium Granulosum Ferment Extract Filtrate is derived from the controlled fermentation of Cutibacterium granulosum, a bacterium naturally present on human skin. The fermentation process breaks down the bacterial cells to create a filtrate — a liquid containing bioactive compounds and metabolites — which is then incorporated into skincare formulations.This ingredient functions primarily as a skin conditioner and emollient, working to soften the skin surface and improve texture. It is typically used at concentrations between 5% and 10% in finished products.

Fermented bacterial extracts like this one contain amino acids, peptides, and other small molecules generated during fermentation. These compounds are thought to interact with the skin's surface, forming a light conditioning film that reduces water loss and creates a smoother feel.Because the ingredient is a filtrate rather than whole bacterial cells, it delivers the beneficial fermentation byproducts without introducing intact microorganisms to the formula, making it stable and safe for topical use.

This ingredient works well in moisturisers, serums, and hydrating toners. It is typically used as part of a broader formulation rather than as a standalone active, so incorporate it as part of your regular skincare routine. It pairs well with other hydrating and conditioning agents, and poses no known conflicts with common skincare ingredients.

This ingredient is generally well-tolerated and suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. As with any skincare product, perform a patch test if you have known sensitivities to fermented ingredients.
