Bacillus Ferment is a product of fermentation by Bacillus bacteria, a filtrate with peptides, amino acids, sugars, and enzymes. INCI: Bacillus Ferment. In a formula it works as a conditioning and moisturizing component, and is sometimes linked to mild stratum-corneum renewal through proteolytic enzymes. The ferment composition depends on production conditions, so its strength varies from product to product. It is a supporting component rather than a lead active with a solid clinical base. Pregnancy safety. Topical use, low systemic absorption, no evidence of harm. It can be used during pregnancy and lactation. Tolerance. Irritation and allergen potential are low, but enzyme components are best introduced gradually on very sensitive skin.
