What is it?

Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate — a fermentation product with documented antimicrobial activity, traditionally associated with the natural preservation of fermented food products (kimchi). Mechanism: bacteriocins and organic acids formed during fermentation inhibit the growth of a wide range of bacteria and fungi, allowing the component to be used as a natural preservative booster in formulas with reduced synthetic preservatives, although it usually does not completely replace primary preservatives.
