About BACILLUS LYSATE FILTRATE
A filtrate from lysed Bacillus bacterial cells used for skin conditioning, though bacterial lysates carry inherent sensitization risks.
Detailed Analysis
Bacillus Lysate Filtrate is obtained from the lysis of cultured Bacillus species. Bacillus spore-forming bacteria used in cosmetics are generally considered non-pathogenic, but bacterial lysates contain immunologically active fragments that can trigger skin reactivity. The SCCS has noted concerns about the sensitisation potential of microbial lysates. Not specifically restricted under EU Annexes, but a cautious approach is warranted.
Skin Benefits
- ✓ May stimulate skin cell renewal
- ✓ Contains bioactive bacterial metabolites
Known Concerns
- ⚠ Known sensitisation potential for reactive skin types
- ⚠ Immune response to bacterial fragments
- ⚠ Risk of microbial contamination if not properly preserved
Safety Score
Moderate
Based on EU regulatory data, published safety research, and ingredient function analysis.
