What Is Lactobacillus/Dipteryx Odorata Seed Ferment Filtrate?
Lactobacillus/Dipteryx Odorata Seed Ferment Filtrate is a fermented ingredient derived from tonka bean seeds (Dipteryx odorata) that have been processed using Lactobacillus cultures. The fermentation process breaks down plant compounds into smaller, more bioavailable molecules that the skin can more readily absorb and utilise.
This filtrate functions primarily as a skin conditioner, working to improve the overall texture, hydration and appearance of the skin barrier. The fermentation process creates beneficial byproducts including amino acids and organic acids that support skin health.
How It Works
Fermentation breaks down the tonka bean's complex plant compounds into smaller molecular fragments and bioactive metabolites. This makes the ingredient more compatible with skin and easier to penetrate the outer layers.
Once on the skin, these fermented compounds work as humectants and emollients — drawing moisture into the stratum corneum and creating a protective layer that helps lock hydration in. The amino acids and organic acids produced during fermentation also support the skin's natural maintenance processes.
Clinical Evidence & References
Published clinical data specifically on this fermented tonka bean filtrate is limited. However, fermented plant extracts as a category have shown promise in supporting skin hydration and barrier function in some studies, largely due to their enhanced bioavailability compared to non-fermented plant materials.
The ingredient is used in skincare formulations primarily for its conditioning properties. More robust clinical evidence would be needed to substantiate specific claims about its effects on particular skin concerns.
How to Use
This ingredient is typically used as part of a broader skincare formula rather than as a standalone treatment. Apply products containing this filtrate to clean skin once or twice daily, layering with other serums or moisturisers as part of your routine. It works well alongside hydrating and barrier-support ingredients.
