What is Bacillus/Folic Acid Ferment Filtrate Extract?

Bacillus/Folic Acid Ferment Filtrate Extract is a fascinating compound derived from the fermentation of Bacillus bacteria with folic acid. It's a relatively novel ingredient in the skincare industry but has roots in traditional medicine.

Historically, Bacillus species have been utilized for various health and culinary purposes, especially in traditional Asian cuisines and medicines. One notable example is 'Natto,' a Japanese delicacy made by fermenting soybeans using Bacillus subtilis. Bacillus strains have been part of traditional medicine practices in Asian cultures mainly for promoting digestion and immune system health.

Folic Acid, also known as Vitamin B9, has been known for its vital role in human health. Its ferment with Bacillus unlocks additional properties, making it a valuable component in skincare products.
