About
A fermentation-derived ingredient that helps with hydration and skin conditioning.
Ferment filtrates contain a mix of small peptides, sugars, organic acids, and other fermentation byproducts that can support skin feel and hydration. They are usually used at modest levels and are less reactive than strong acids or solvents, though very sensitive skin can still react to bioactive ferments. In the absence of restriction or hazard flags, this is a fairly comfortable mid-to-high safety ingredient.
