Lactobacillus/Rice Ferment Filtrate

Lactobacillus/Rice Ferment Filtrate is a liquid derived from the fermentation of rice using Lactobacillus bacteria. During fermentation, the bacteria break down rice compounds into smaller, more bioavailable molecules. The result is a filtrate—the liquid portion separated from solids—that contains amino acids, peptides, and fermentation byproducts.In skincare formulations, this ingredient functions primarily as a skin conditioning agent and film former, helping to soften the skin surface and create a protective layer that can reduce transepidermal water loss.

The fermentation process breaks down rice proteins and carbohydrates into smaller molecular fragments. These fragments can be more easily absorbed by or deposited on the skin surface, where they form a thin conditioning film. This film reduces water evaporation from the skin and can improve the appearance of texture by smoothing the outer layer.The amino acids and peptides present in the filtrate may also provide mild skin conditioning benefits by supporting the skin's natural moisture-binding capacity.

This ingredient is typically found in serums, essences, toners, and moisturisers. It works well in layered routines—apply it to clean, slightly damp skin before heavier creams to maximise hydration benefits. No specific usage restrictions apply; it can be used daily as part of your regular skincare regime.

Lactobacillus/Rice Ferment Filtrate is generally well-tolerated by most skin types. Those with rice sensitivity or severe fermentation sensitivities should patch test first, though reactions are uncommon.
