New skin wellness platform of microbiome-supporting fermented complexes, FermBiotic, is derived from extracts and microorganisms.
Through microorganism-induced fermentation, BotanicalsPlus Bio-Transmogrify botanical biomass—which frees up beneficial components for skin and scalp that may otherwise be trapped.
BotanicalsPlus’ new series offers microorganism choices of Galactomyces candidum (human friendly-fungi), Saccharomyces cerevisiae (human friendly-fungi) and Lactobacillus plantarum (human friendly-bacteria), along with skin-loving extract fusions from a variety of natural sources—legumes, marine botanicals, superfruits, and adaptogens.
Based on in-vitro study, Legume FermBiotic G. has shown to effectively improve skin’s own ability to hydrate itself from within by increasing Hyaluroniadase-1 (HAS1) expression by 71% in keratinocytes compared to untreated cells.
Through the well-established MTT Assay, which measures how ingredients impact the metabolism and vitality of growing cells, Marine FermBiotic L. has been proven to energize skin cells by stimulating both epidermal (keratinocytes) and dermal (fibroblasts) cells by 21% compared to untreated cells, resulting in stronger skin cell metabolism, improved skin cell turnover and a more radiant complexion.
With a HORAC EC50 test value of 7.8 ug/ml, the amount of ingredient required to eliminate 50% of expressed ROS, that proves its antioxidant power, Superfruit FermBiotic G. offers optimal environmental protection through its fermented, phytonutrient-rich properties. This compares, for example, to Trolox with an EC50 closer to 300 ug/ml showing the antioxidant potency of the ferment.
Adaptogen FermBiotic S. has shown superior ability to increase Type I Collagen expression in fibroblasts by 28% based on in-vitro cell studies compared against untreated cells – making it an effective anti-aging active that also supports skin’s microbiome wellness through its pre- and post-biotic properties.
