Lactobacillus/Punica granatum fruit ferment extract is a biotechnological product that is created by fermenting pomegranate juice with selected strains of Lactobacillus bacteria.
This extract is used as a potent antioxidant in skincare products, with some reporting that it can promote the creation of hyaluronic acid, which would make it a moisturizing humectant ingredient (with an ability to retain water in the skin).
Fermentation with lactic acid bacteria is commonly done to improve the stability, shelf life, and antioxidant properties of various plant materials. Pomegranate juice is known for being rich in various plant polyphenols – which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These activities are increased even more when the juice goes through the fermentation process.
