Bifida Ferment Lysate is not a single chemical substance but a complex bio-derived ingredient. Its “basic ingredients” refer to the components that make up the lysate after fermentation and cell disruption of Bifidobacterium.
Basic Ingredients / Main Components
1. Bifidobacterium Ferment Lysate
- Inactivated Bifidobacterium cells broken down after fermentation
- Source of bioactive metabolites and cell fragments
2. Bacterial Cell Wall Components
- Peptidoglycans
- Lipoteichoic acids (trace amounts)
- Polysaccharides
→ Help stimulate skin repair and barrier signaling
3. Postbiotic Metabolites
- Organic acids (e.g., lactic acid derivatives)
- Short-chain fatty acid fragments
- Enzyme residues
→ Support skin microbiome balance
4. Proteins and Peptides
- Small molecular weight peptides
- Enzyme fragments
→ Contribute to skin conditioning and resilience
5. Nucleic Acid Derivatives
- DNA/RNA fragments (very low molecular weight)
→ Involved in skin stress-response signaling
6. Amino Acids
- Free amino acids released during cell lysis
→ Moisturizing and repair-supporting effects
7. Fermentation Medium Residues (Trace)
- Water
- Mineral salts
- Growth nutrients (largely removed during purification)
INCI Name (Cosmetic Label)
Key Characteristics
- Non-living (postbiotic, not probiotic)
- Water-soluble
- Biocompatible with skin
- Suitable for sensitive and compromised skin
Summary
Bifida Ferment Lysate is essentially composed of postbiotic fractions from fermented Bifidobacterium, including peptides, cell wall fragments, metabolites, and amino acids that work together to support skin barrier repair, microbiome balance, and anti-stress protection.
