What is it?
Leuconostoc / Radish Root Ferment Filtrate is a natural skincare ingredient obtained through the fermentation of radish roots with Leuconostoc, a type of lactic acid. This fermentation process produces a filtrate rich in peptides and growth inhibiting compounds, making it an effective natural preservative and conditioning agent in skincare formulations.
Where does it come from?
This ingredient originates from the fermentation of radish roots (Raphanus sativus) using a microorganism commonly used in the fermentation of foods like kimchi. The result is a bioactive filtrate that contains naturally occurring peptides and other compounds known for their purifying and skin-conditioning properties.
