Lactobacillus Casei

A lactic acid bacterium long used in fermented foods, and in our process to help gently balance the skin's microbiome.

Benefits

• Supports a balanced skin microbiome
• Produces natural lactic acid during fermentation for gentle, non-abrasive exfoliation
• Helps break down plant material into smaller, more bioavailable compounds

Traditional Use & Modern Science

Lactobacillus casei has been used in fermented foods such as yogurt and kimchi for centuries. Its adoption in skincare fermentation is more recent, following growing interest in the skin microbiome.

Fermentation Advantage (Matter & Magic)

We ferment selected botanicals with beneficial cultures like L. casei to transform them into gentler, more skin-compatible actives, while naturally producing mild acids that support the skin's own balance.

Safety & Usage Notes

• Ferment filtrates are generally well tolerated
• Patch test recommended for very sensitive or compromised skin
