Science & Benefits

This complex ferment is a bio-technological 'NMF booster.' By fermenting bean seeds and sodium glutamate with Lactobacillus, the process produces a high concentration of glutamic acid, peptides, and lactic acid precursors. These molecules are skin-identical and function as high-efficiency humectants that draw water into the skin's deeper layers. It is zero-comedogenic and zero-irritant. For acne-prone individuals, it provides a logical way to replenish the skin's natural moisturizing factors (NMF) that are often depleted by harsh antibacterial treatments.
