About
A lysate of a thermophilic, hot-spring-origin bacterium. Postbiotic conditioning agent with minimal public safety data.
Calidifontibacter indicus is a Gram-positive, thermophilic actinobacterium first isolated from an Indian hot spring. The lysate is produced by culturing and then lysing the bacteria, yielding a cell-free mixture of proteins, lipids, and small molecules. It is positioned as a postbiotic cosmetic ingredient claimed to support skin conditioning and antioxidant defense. Because it contains no live cells, infection risk is negligible; however, endotoxin (LPS) from Gram-negative contamination during fermentation should be controlled, and for Gram-positives there may be lipoteichoic acid content. No CIR or SCCS opinion on this genus in cosmetics.
