About

A bacterial cell lysate from Phycicoccus jejuensis used in cosmetics for its purported skin-soothing and microbiome-modulating effects; however, limited independent safety data exists for this novel ingredient.

Phycicoccus Jejuensis Lysate consists of lysed cells from the bacterium Phycicoccus jejuensis, isolated from the environmental samples (likely soil or plant surfaces). Bacterial lysates are used in cosmetics for their purported ability to modulate skin microbiome and provide soothing effects. Not specifically restricted in EU Regulation 1223/2009 Annex II or III, but as a novel ingredient it requires comprehensive safety assessment under the EU Cosmetics Regulation's safety assessment requirements. Limited peer-reviewed safety data is available; potential for microbial contamination and need for preservation systems are key considerations.
