Lactobacillus/Pear Juice Ferment Filtrate

Lactobacillus/Pear Juice Ferment Filtrate is produced by fermenting pear juice using Lactobacillus bacteria, then filtering the liquid to remove solids. The result is a nutrient-rich filtrate containing organic acids, peptides, and metabolites generated during fermentation.In skincare, it functions primarily as a skin conditioner—meaning it helps improve skin texture, softness, and overall feel. The fermentation process creates compounds that may support the skin's natural microbiome and provide gentle exfoliation through mild acidity.

Lactobacillus fermentation produces lactic acid and other organic acids that gently lower skin pH and encourage natural exfoliation. These compounds are gentler than high-strength chemical exfoliants, making them suitable for regular use.The ferment filtrate also contains peptides and amino acids that condition the skin and support the stratum corneum (outer layer), helping it retain moisture and maintain a healthy barrier. Some evidence suggests that fermented plant extracts can encourage a balanced skin microbiome, though this effect is not yet fully understood.

This ingredient is typically found in serums, essences, and hydrating products at low concentrations. It suits daily use in most formulations. Apply to clean skin before moisturiser, or layer it under your regular skincare routine. If combining with other exfoliants (AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C), monitor your skin's response to avoid over-exfoliation.

Generally well-tolerated. Fermented ingredients may cause sensitivity in those with known sensitivities to fermentation byproducts or lactic acid; patch test if you have reactive skin.
