BIFIDA FERMENT LYSATE
Bifida Ferment Lysate is a biotechnologically derived postbiotic made from bifidobacteria. We use a lysate: The bacteria are inactivated, while metabolic products, cytoplasmic fractions, cell wall components, and polysaccharide complexes are preserved. According to the manufacturer, the ferment can counteract UV-induced stress and activate natural cellular defense processes—with the goal of preventing signs of premature light-induced skin aging.(1) Studies also show that the lysate can reduce skin redness and irritation and modulate inflammatory responses by reducing the release of inflammatory mediators.(2) By strengthening the skin barrier’s resilience, it helps the skin defend against oxidative and inflammatory stress. It also supports the formation of proteins that help stabilize cellular structures in the skin.(3–4)
