Formula concentrations are not disclosed, typically 1–5%. Evidence base. No human RCTs; in vitro data are limited. Works as a mild humectant and a marketing-composition component – postbiotic plus fermented extract. Pregnancy and lactation – no data. Pure fermentation without teratogenic potential, but direct clinical base is also lacking.
