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.
