What They Are
Probiotics and fermented ingredients are bio-derived actives created through controlled fermentation processes. In skincare, they are used to support the skin and scalp microbiome — the ecosystem of beneficial microorganisms that protect and regulate skin health.
What They Do in Skin & Scalp
Fermented ingredients help:
- Strengthen the skin barrier
- Improve hydration retention
- Reduce sensitivity and inflammation
- Support a balanced microbiome
On the scalp, they assist in:
- Calming irritation and imbalance
- Supporting healthier follicular environments
- Improving scalp comfort and resilience
Why Delivery Matters
Ferments are biologically active and sensitive to formulation conditions. Improper delivery can reduce their effectiveness or stability.
Micellar delivery systems:
- Protect ferment activity
- Improve even distribution across skin and scalp
- Enhance penetration without disruption
- Maintain a microbiome-friendly environment
- This ensures consistent performance with excellent tolerance.
