Lactobacillus/Arnica Montana Flower Ferment Filtrate

Lactobacillus/Arnica Montana Flower Ferment Filtrate is a bioactive ingredient created through the fermentation of arnica montana flowers using beneficial lactobacillus bacteria. The fermentation process breaks down plant compounds into smaller, more bioavailable molecules that can be absorbed more effectively by the skin.This ingredient functions primarily as a humectant, meaning it helps the skin retain moisture by drawing water into the outer layers of the epidermis. The fermented extract also contains metabolites produced during the fermentation process, which may contribute additional …

As a humectant, this ingredient works by hygroscopic action—it has a molecular structure that attracts and binds water molecules from both the environment and deeper skin layers, drawing them into the stratum corneum (the skin's outermost layer). This increases the skin's water content and improves hydration on a temporary basis.The fermentation process creates bioactive compounds including organic acids, peptides and other metabolites that may support skin barrier function and comfort. These fermentation byproducts may also have mild antimicrobial or anti-inflammatory properties, though ev…

This ingredient is best used in hydrating serums, essences, or moisturisers where it can work alongside other hydrating agents like glycerin or hyaluronic acid. It is typically well-tolerated across formulations and can be used daily as part of your regular routine. For best results, apply to damp skin and follow with an occlusivemoisturiser to lock in hydration.

Generally well-tolerated across most skin types. Those with documented arnica sensitivity should avoid this ingredient, though sensitivity is relatively uncommon.
