What is "Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate" and what is its purpose?

Derived from radish roots, Leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate is a completely natural preservative obtained through the fermentation of radishes. This ingredient typically presents itself as a clear or pale yellow liquid. It is renowned for its conditioning properties. The radish is a root vegetable that belongs to the Brassicaceae family. Once harvested, radish roots are fermented by the microorganism Leuconostoc Kimchii, a lactic bacteria traditionally used in the production of kimchi. During the fermentation process, the bacteria secretes a peptide that combats microbes and is beneficial for acne-prone skin.

The Leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate has the advantage of being water-soluble and compatible with a wide range of skincare products. It is used in small quantities (typically 0.5%) in skincare to protect them from various harmful substances that could impair their effectiveness.

The Leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate is safe and possesses preservation properties based on the synergy of several plant extracts. It represents a natural choice as an alternative to synthetic preservatives.
