Rhodopseudomonas Palustris

A photosynthetic soil bacterium used in modern 'ferment filtrate' skincare for the antioxidant and skin-conditioning metabolites it produces during fermentation.

Benefits

• Produces antioxidant metabolites during fermentation
• Contributes to skin-conditioning ferment filtrates

Traditional Use & Modern Science

Rhodopseudomonas palustris has long been studied in biotechnology for bioremediation and biofuel production, and has more recently been adopted by the fermentation-skincare space for its versatile metabolism.

Fermentation Advantage (Matter & Magic)

We use slow fermentation processes involving cultures like this one to generate bioactive ferment filtrates from our botanical ingredients.

Safety & Usage Notes

• Generally considered well tolerated in cosmetic ferment filtrates at typical use levels
• Patch test recommended for sensitive skin
