Appearance: Clear to slightly opaque liquid.
Odor: Mild, slightly fermented aroma.
Texture: Lightweight and easily absorbed into formulations.

Production Process:

The production of Bacillus/Broccoli Sprout Extract Ferment Filtrates involves:

Fermentation: Fermentation of broccoli sprout extract with Bacillus bacteria.
Filtration: Filtering the fermented mixture to obtain the filtrate.
Formulation: Incorporating the filtrate into cosmetic and skincare products.

Applications:

Cosmetics: Used in skincare products to enhance hydration and skin renewal.
Skincare: Helps improve skin texture and provides antioxidant benefits.
Haircare: Can be included in hair products for its nourishing and revitalizing properties.

Environmental and Safety Considerations:

Generally regarded as safe for topical application. However, like all extracts and fermented products, it should be used according to established guidelines to avoid potential allergic reactions or skin irritations. People with allergies or very sensitive skin should exercise caution. It is important to ensure that the filtrate is sustainably sourced and free from harmful chemicals.

INCI Functions:


Skin protectant. It creates a protective barrier on the skin to defend it from harmful substances, irritants, allergens, pathogens that can cause various inflammatory conditions. These products can also improve the natural skin barrier and in most cases more than one is needed to achieve an effective result.

Skin conditioning agent - Humectant. Humectants are hygroscopic substances 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 the 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: corneum, the most superficial, lucidum, granulosum, spinosum and basale. Humectants have the ability to retain in the stratum corneum the water they attract from the air and have the function of moisturising the skin. It is better to use them before emollients that are oil-based.
