Lactobacillus/Coconut Fruit Juice Ferment Filtrate
What is Lactobacillus/Coconut Fruit Juice Ferment Filtrate?
Lactobacillus/Coconut Fruit Juice Ferment Filtrate is produced through a biotechnological fermentation process where Lactobacillus bacteria metabolize the natural sugars in juice extracted from coconut fruit, primarily Cocos nucifera. This results in a cell-free filtrate containing bioactive metabolites, organic acids, peptides, and polysaccharides generated during fermentation. In cosmetics, it belongs to the category of microbial fermentation products and serves primarily as a skin conditioning agent. It functions by forming a lightweight film on the skin's surface to enhance moisture retention, improve texture, and promote suppleness without greasiness. The ingredient is incorporated into creams, serums, and masks at low concentrations to deliver hydration and conditioning effects derived from its natural fermentation byproducts.
