Lactobacillus Ferment

What is Lactobacillus Ferment?

Lactobacillus Ferment is a natural compound derived from pomegranates.

Pomegranates have a long history, dating back thousands of years, and have been traditionally used for various purposes, including being used as a source of tannins, inks, and dyes. In skincare formulations, pomegranate enzymes offer a great natural method of exfoliation, which is crucial for removing dead skin cells, bacteria, and sebum from the skin's surface.

Lactobacillus Ferment offers a range of benefits for your skin and your hair, including gentle exfoliation, moisturisation, and enhanced cellular renewal. Its sustainable sourcing as well as its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties make it a valuable ingredient in products which promote healthy and revitalised skin and hair.

What are the benefits of Lactobacillus Ferment for your skin?

The benefits of Lactobacillus Ferment extend to both skin and scalp care. Pomegranates contain chlorogenic acid, which possesses anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, making it great for promoting healthy skin and a healthy scalp.

Lactobacillus Ferment is especially good for skin and hair care because of its gentle yet still effective exfoliation properties, created by its naturally occurring proteolytic enzymes. These enzymes help to remove product buildup from hair strands as well as promoting cellular renewal on your skin's surface.

Lactobacillus Ferment also maintains skin hydration and barrier function. It acts as an osmolyte, balancing water levels within cells, and enhances the integrity of keratinocytes' Tight Junctions (TJ) in the epidermis, which is essential for skin cohesion and barrier function.

Clinical studies have demonstrated the moisturising effects of Lactobacillus Ferment, both in the short term, where it reduces dryness and increases skin moisturisation, and in the long term, where it decreases Transepidermal Water Loss over several weeks.
