Lactococcus Ferment Lysate is a lysate of the lactic acid-producing bacterium Lactococcus lactis. We use a biotechnologically produced lysate: the bacteria are inactivated, while metabolic products, cytoplasmic fractions and cell wall components are retained. The ferment can support desquamation (gentle desquamation of dead skin cells), promote the restoration of the skin barrier after damage and support a balanced skin microbiome.(1) It supports skin hydration and can help to stabilize the natural pH value.(2) It also exhibits antioxidant properties (in vitro) and helps to neutralize free radicals.(3)

Lauroyl lysine is an ingredient that is used in cosmetics primarily as a sensory modifier and texture enhancer. The derivative of the amino acid lysine improves the feel of the skin and the application properties of cosmetic products(1).

Lauryl glucoside (lauryl glucoside) is a mild, non-ionic sugar surfactant. Lauryl glucoside is the product obtained by the condensation of lauryl alcohol with glucose. Lauryl glucoside is recognized as safe at current use practices and use concentrations(1).

Lecithin, also known as phosphatidylcholine, is the most commonly used neutral phospholipid. It is used as a skin-conditioning emulsifier, solvent for pigments and antioxidant.(1) Phosphatidylcholine can be fully metabolized and provides the skin with two additional essential substances: linoleic acid and choline: Linoleic acid and choline.(2) Lecithin is also often used to form liposomes. Liposomes enable active ingredients to be transported through the stratum corneum(3).

Levulinic acid is a skin care product that has antimicrobial properties and masks unpleasant raw material odors(1-2).

Linolenic acid, also known as alpha-linolenic acid, is a polyunsaturated fatty acid and is one of the essential omega-3 fatty acids. Fatty acids are important components of lipids (fat molecules), which are an integral part of the skin barrier.(1) In addition, alpha-linolenic acid has a pigment-lightening effect, which is due to the suppression of melanin production and increased desquamation of melanin from the epidermis.(2)

Magnesium hydroxide is an inorganic compound that is used in cosmetics primarily as an absorbent and as a buffer substance to stabilize the pH value(1).

Magnesium oxide (MgO) is an inorganic compound that is widely used in cosmetic formulations as a fine, white powder. In creams, powders or lotions, it serves as a white colorant (CI 77711), which gives the formulation opacity or optical brightness. It also helps to absorb excess sebum and thus ensures a matte complexion. At the same time, its buffering effect can stabilize the pH value of the product and contribute to the desired opacity and consistency. Due to its properties, magnesium oxide is a common excipient in decorative cosmetics and sun protection products(1).
