Lactobacillus/Soybean Extract Ferment Filtrate
What is Lactobacillus/Soybean Extract Ferment Filtrate?
Lactobacillus/Soybean Extract Ferment Filtrate is a biotech-derived ingredient obtained by fermenting soybean extract using Lactobacillus bacteria, followed by filtration to capture soluble bioactive components. This natural fermentation process produces a clear liquid rich in metabolites like peptides, oligosaccharides, and organic acids. In cosmetics, it serves primarily as a skin conditioning agent in formulations such as creams, lotions, serums, and masks. It functions by attracting and retaining moisture, forming a protective film on the skin surface, and enhancing texture through emollient and humectant properties derived from the fermentation byproducts. The gentle, pH-balanced nature makes it suitable for daily use, contributing to overall skin comfort without synthetic additives.
