Lactobacillus/Aloe Barbadensis Ferment Filtrate
What is Lactobacillus/Aloe Barbadensis Ferment Filtrate?
Lactobacillus/Aloe Barbadensis Ferment Filtrate is a cosmetic ingredient derived from fermenting Aloe Barbadensis leaf juice, sourced from the aloe vera plant, using Lactobacillus bacteria. This process yields a filtrate rich in postbiotic metabolites, including peptides, enzymes, and polysaccharides, without live microorganisms. Primarily used in skincare formulations like moisturizers and serums, it acts as a skin conditioning agent by forming a protective film on the skin's surface. This helps lock in moisture, enhances skin barrier function, and promotes a supple texture through natural humectant and emollient-like properties from the fermentation byproducts.
