Common Name(s): Pichia ferment lysate filtrate,pichia ferment lysate filtrate,pichia postbiotic ferment,biotransformed active filtrate
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides acid mantle ph support, biotransformed substrate actives with improved sc penetration, and pichia-specific metabolites for skin conditioning.
Why It's Used: Postbiotic ferments deliver microbiome-active benefits in a stable preservable cosmetic format without the cold-chain requirements of live probiotic formulations.
How It Works: Pichia fermentation: enzyme biotransformation of substrate polyphenol glycosides to bioavailable aglycones; organic acid acid-mantle reinforcement; organism-specific secondary metabolite production.
