Other ingredient
Bacillus Ferment
The fermentation product of Bacillus bacteria (typically B. subtilis or B. licheniformis), processed to yield a concentrated metabolite fraction. Rich in proteolytic enzymes (subtilisins), lipopeptides (iturin, surfactin), and bioactive peptides. In cosmetics, the enzyme content provides mild exfoliating activity while the lipopeptide fraction has antimicrobial and skin-conditioning properties. Distinct from Lactobacillus Ferment (lactic acid bacteria) and Saccharomyces Ferment.
Also known as: bacillus subtilis ferment

Benefits
- ✓Postbiotic ingredient — ferment metabolites from Bacillus bacteria include enzymes (subtilisin protease), lipopeptides, and bioactive peptides with skin-conditioning activity
- ✓Subtilisin protease activity provides gentle enzymatic exfoliation that softens skin surface without abrasive irritation
- ✓Supports skin microbiome balance by providing prebiotic-like substrates that favor commensal bacteria
No known watch-fors.
