Lactobacillus … Filtrate

This ingredient is a fermented lysate—a liquid extract created by fermenting Lactobacillus (beneficial bacteria) together with Centella Asiatica (an Asian plant traditionally used in skincare) and Polysorbate 80 (an emulsifying agent). The fermentation process breaks down the plant material and produces metabolites from the bacterial culture, creating a filtrate that is added to skincare products.The resulting ingredient functions primarily as a skin conditioner, intended to support the skin's texture and overall condition. It combines the potential benefits of probiotics (which may help su…

Lactobacillus fermentation produces metabolites—compounds created during the bacterial fermentation process—which may interact with skin cells and the skin microbiome. These metabolites, combined with bioactive compounds from centella asiatica, are thought to help reinforce the skin's natural moisture barrier and reduce irritation.The fermentation process itself can enhance the bioavailability of plant compounds, potentially making them more accessible to the skin. However, the precise mechanisms remain not fully characterised, and individual results may vary depending on formulation and co…

This ingredient is typically found in serums, toners, and moisturisers at varying concentrations. Apply products containing this ingredient to clean skin as part of your regular routine. As with any new product, introduce it gradually to monitor how your skin responds, particularly if you have reactive skin.

Generally well-tolerated in cosmetic formulations. Those with severe probiotic sensitivities or centella allergies should patch test first.
