Lactobacillus/Olive Leaf Ferment Extract

Science & Benefits

Lactobacillus/Olive Leaf Ferment Extract is produced by fermenting olive leaves with Lactobacillus bacteria, a process that significantly increases the bioavailability of oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol. These compounds are potent antioxidants that protect the skin's lipid barrier from oxidative stress, a known trigger for inflammatory acne. As a humectant, the fermentation process creates small-chain peptides and sugars that provide deep, non-greasy hydration. It is completely non-comedogenic and serves as a 'bulletproof' active for calming reactive skin and providing an antioxidant shield without the heavy oils found in traditional olive derivatives.
