BIFIDA FERMENT LYSATE
Bifida Ferment Lysate is a biotechnologically produced postbiotic from bifidobacteria. We use a lysate: the bacteria are inactivated, while metabolic products, cytoplasmic fractions, cell wall components and polysaccharide complexes are retained. According to the manufacturer, the ferment can counteract UV-induced stress and activate natural cell protection processes - with the aim of preventing signs of premature light-induced skin ageing.(1) Studies also show that the lysate can improve skin redness and irritation and modulate inflammatory reactions by reducing the release of inflammatory mediators.(2) By strengthening the resistance of the skin barrier, it helps the skin to defend itself against oxidative and inflammatory stress. It also supports the formation of proteins that serve to stabilize the cell structures in the skin(3-4).
