| Lactococcus ferment lysate |
Lactococcus ferment lysate is a powerful probiotic-derived ingredient, composed of the broken-down cellular components (lysate) of Lactococcus lactis, a beneficial bacteria commonly found in fermented dairy products. When the bacterial cells are broken down, valuable components are left such as enzymes, proteins and peptides – all very beneficial for the skin. For instance, Lactococcus ferment lysate is beneficial to the skin immune system, microbiome of the skin as well as the skin's barrier function. This makes it a hero ingredient for conditions such as eczema, acne, and rosacea. This powerful ingredient enhances the skin's ability to adapt to external stressors like climate changes, pollution, and UV exposure—factors that often contribute to premature ageing, sensitivity, and inflammation. In addition to strengthening the skin’s barrier, it promotes moisture retention and supports the skin’s natural healing processes.
