Leuconostoc Ferment Filtrate

What is Leuconostoc Ferment Filtrate?

Leuconostoc ferment filtrate is the natural preservative with skincare benefits—a radish root ferment that produces antimicrobial peptides which help protect formulations from contamination while simultaneously supporting skin health. This innovative ingredient replaces synthetic preservatives while adding moisturizing and soothing properties. Think of it as the security guard who not only protects the building but also helps repair the infrastructure. It's the skincare equivalent of fermented foods for your gut—providing protective benefits through natural biological processes rather than synthetic chemicals. For those seeking "clean" skincare with minimal preservatives but maximum stability and safety, leuconostoc ferment filtrate offers that perfect intersection of formulation protection and skin enhancement, working particularly well for sensitive skin that reacts to traditional preservative systems while also providing light hydration and microbiome support.
