Lactobacillus/Acerola Cherry Ferment & Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate

TL;DR. This ingredient primarily functions as a plant-derived it with preservative-support, antimicrobial, and antioxidant roles in water-based personal care formulas. It can also add light skin-conditioning benefits through fermentation byproducts.

What does Lactobacillus/Acerola Cherry Ferment & Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate do in a cosmetic formula?

This ingredient primarily functions as a plant-derived it with preservative-support, antimicrobial, and antioxidant roles in water-based personal care formulas. It can also add light skin-conditioning benefits through fermentation byproducts.

Is Lactobacillus/Acerola Cherry Ferment & Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate clean?

This ingredient generally has a favorable clean-beauty profile because it is fermentation-derived, low-odor, and usually well tolerated. The main caveat is performance, since it may need careful challenge testing and booster support to preserve higher-risk formulas reliably.

Is Lactobacillus/Acerola Cherry Ferment & Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate sustainable?

This material is made by bacterial fermentation of plant-derived feedstocks, which aligns well with renewable sourcing. It is water-based and expected to be readily biodegradable, with a lower persistence profile than many conventional synthetic preservatives.

Is Lactobacillus/Acerola Cherry Ferment & Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate COSMOS-approved?

This ingredient is generally compatible with COSMOS-natural and COSMOS-organic frameworks when made from approved natural substrates and processed without disallowed solvents or additives. From a Green Chemistry view, it fits well through renewable feedstocks, aqueous processing, and biodegradable fermentation metabolites.

How does Lactobacillus/Acerola Cherry Ferment & Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate work chemically?

This material is not a single molecule, but an aqueous it containing organic acids, peptides, sugars, salts, and other fermentation metabolites. Typical use is often around 1 to 4%, with best performance in the water phase and in mildly acidic to near-neutral systems, and preservation efficacy should be confirmed by formula-specific challenge testing.
