What is it?

Streptococcus Thermophilus Ferment — a fermentation product with polysaccharides that in studies demonstrate a unique ability to stimulate the skin's keratinocytes to produce their own ceramides (as opposed to simple topical supply of ceramides from outside). Mechanism: these polysaccharides theoretically activate cellular signaling pathways that regulate the synthesis of lipids in the stratum corneum, promoting natural restoration of the skin barrier function from within, rather than just through external lipid composition filling.

Next-generation barrier-repair formulas, products for very dry and dehydrated skin, anti-aging agents focusing on the skin's own lipid production.

Key Benefits

✦
Stimulation of own ceramide production
The unique mechanism of streptococcus thermophilus ferment lies in stimulating keratinocytes to enhance their own ceramide production, rather than just in the topical supply of ready-made lipids from outside. Mechanism: the polysaccharides of the fermentate activate cellular signaling pathways for lipid synthesis. Result: support for long-term restoration of barrier function through activation of the skin's natural mechanisms.
◈
Barrier support for very dry skin
Due to the stimulation of its own ceramide synthesis, the component is particularly valuable for very dry, dehydrated skin with a disrupted lipid barrier, where supporting natural lipid production mechanisms may be more effective than simple external filling.
✧
Innovative approach to barrier support
Streptococcus thermophilus ferment represents a "biostimulation" approach to barrier function — instead of passive filling of lipid composition from outside, the component actively signals cells to enhance their own production of protective lipids.

Suitable for

very dry and dehydrated skinskin with a disrupted lipid barrier
