About
A probiotic ferment of bee pollen — supplies skin-conditioning amino acids and antioxidants. Pollen origin means some allergy risk for sensitive users.
Lactobacillus/pollen ferment is the product of fermenting bee pollen with Lactobacillus bacteria. The resulting filtrate contains amino acids, oligopeptides, organic acids (lactic, acetic), B-vitamins, and antioxidant flavonoids. In cosmetics it is positioned as a skin-conditioning, soothing, and microbiome-friendly ingredient. No SCCS or CIR opinion specific to this ferment exists. Pollen-derived components can trigger reactions in pollen-allergic or atopic individuals, though fermentation reduces intact protein content. Compositional variability between batches is a common limitation of ferment ingredients.
