Science & Benefits

Lactobacillus/Rye Flour Ferment is a bio-active produced by the controlled fermentation of rye flour. It is exceptionally rich in pantothenic acid (B5), nicotinamide (B3), and organic acids. It possesses clinically proven antifungal and antimicrobial properties, specifically inhibiting the growth of Malassezia species. As a humectant, it provides a surge of amino acids and minerals to the stratum corneum. It is completely non-comedogenic and serves as a 'bulletproof' active for both standard and fungal acne types, balancing the skin's microbiome while providing deep hydration.
