A more recent development in natural cosmetics is the use of fermented ingredients. In biology, fermentation is the microbial or enzymatic conversion of organic substances into acid, gases or alcohol. This is done by adding bacterial, fungal or other biological cell cultures, but enzymes (ferments) can also be used.
Why fermented ingredients?
The microorganisms produced by the natural fermentation process can then be used in natural cosmetic products to improve and care for the skin. There are numerous advantages to using them on a daily basis to care for and protect your skin in a particularly long-lasting way. We have found out for you what these are:
- Increased Potency: Fermentation can help to extract and concentrate beneficial compounds from raw materials, making them more potent and effective in skin care products.
- Rich in Antioxidants: Femented ingredients are rich in antioxidants, which help to protect the skin against damage from free radicals and prevent premature aging.
- Nourishing Enzymes: Fermented ingredients contain enzymes that can help to nourish and revitalize the skin, leaving it looking and feeling healthier.
- Calming Effect: Fermented ingredients have a calming effect on the skin, helping to reduce inflammation and minimize redness and irritation.
- Improved Moisture Balance: Fermented ingredients can help to balance the skin's moisture levels, keeping it hydrated and healthy.
- All-Natural: Fermented ingredients are made from natural raw materials, making them a safe and natural alternative to synthetic ingredients.
- Suitable for Sensitive Skin: Fermented ingredients are well-tolerated and suitable for sensitive skin, as they are less likely to cause irritation or adverse reactions.
In short, fermented ingredients are special because they offer a range of skin care benefits, are all-natural, and are well-suited for use in cosmetics, especially for sensitive skin.
One of our brands at ENVI, Amala Beauty, taps into the power of fermented natural skincare ingredients because fermentation makes them rich in probiotics, more concentrated and also more quickly absorbed by the body.
