Bioferments for cosmetics

Our skin is colonized by a diverse collection of microorganisms, known as the skin microbiome. Many of these microorganisms are harmless, and some even provide vital functions for the skin. They protect against the invasion of pathogenic organisms and strengthen our immune system. Thus, the host and microbiome form a complex ecosystem with delicately balanced interactions that are essential for skin health.

Lemmel offers natural ingredients derived from the fermentation of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), which provide benefits for the skin microbiome. This fermentation process with probiotic lactic acid bacteria produces amino acids, organic acids, and antioxidants. These compounds help the skin better absorb ingredients, reduce the likelihood of irritation, slow down the aging process, hydrate, and nourish the skin.
