Lactobacillus/Arundinaria Gigantea Ferment Filtrate

Lactobacillus/Arundinaria Gigantea Ferment Filtrate is a liquid extract derived from the fermentation of giant bamboo (Arundinaria gigantea) using Lactobacillus bacteria. The fermentation process breaks down plant compounds into smaller, potentially more bioavailable molecules, creating a filtrate that is then incorporated into skincare formulations.In cosmetic products, this ingredient functions primarily as a skin conditioner and film former. It works to hydrate, soften and protect the skin surface, whilst also helping to improve the feel and texture of formulations.

The fermentation process generates bioactive compounds, including amino acids and polysaccharides from the bamboo plant material. These molecules are small enough to remain on or near the skin surface, where they can absorb and bind moisture, thereby improving hydration and skin feel.The film-forming aspect means the ingredient can lay down a thin protective layer, which may help reduce transepidermal water loss and buffer the skin from environmental stressors.

This ingredient is typically used as part of a complete formulation rather than as a standalone treatment. It is generally well-suited to serums, moisturisers, and conditioning products. No special application technique is required; use the product according to the instructions on the packaging. It works well alongside other hydrating or barrier-supporting ingredients.

This ingredient is generally well-tolerated across most skin types. As with any fermented ingredient, those with sensitivities to fermented foods or bacterial-derived materials should patch-test first.
