Description

Lactobacillus/Rosa Centifolia Flower Ferment Filtrate is a biotechnologically derived ingredient that combines the benefits of fermentation with the properties of Rosa centifolia (cabbage rose) flowers. This filtrate is created through the fermentation of Rosa centifolia flower extract using Lactobacillus bacteria, which enhances the extract's skin-friendly properties. It is used in cosmetics and skincare products for its probiotic benefits, skin conditioning, and soothing effects.

Safety: This ingredient is generally regarded as safe for use in cosmetics and personal care products when used as directed. It is advisable to check for any allergic reactions or individual sensitivities.

INCI:


Humectant. Hygroscopic compound used to minimise water loss in the skin and to prevent it from drying out by facilitating faster and greater absorption of water into the stratum corneum of the epidermis. The epidermis is the most superficial of the three layers that make up human skin (epidermis, dermis and hypodermis) and is the layer that maintains hydration in all three layers. In turn, the epidermis is composed of five layers: horny, the most superficial, granular, spinous, shiny, and basal. Humectants have the ability to retain the water they attract from the air in the stratum corneum and have the function of moisturising the skin. They are best used before emollients, which are oil-based.
