Lactobacillus/Portulaca Oleracea (Purslane) Ferment Extract

why we use lactobacillus/portulaca oleracea (purslane) ferment extract

The Basics

Lactobacillus/Portulaca Oleracea Ferment Extract is produced by fermenting Portulaca oleracea (commonly known as purslane) with Lactobacillus species. This fermentation process breaks down complex molecules in purslane, enhancing the bioavailability of its beneficial compounds. Purslane is rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and polysaccharides, which contribute to its skin-nourishing properties. Studies have demonstrated that purslane extract exhibits significant antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects against UV-induced skin damage, suggesting its potential in protecting the skin from environmental stressors. Additionally, Lactobacillus ferment has been shown to soothe the skin, reduce redness, and provide hydration.¹

This bioferment is particularly beneficial for stressed or reactive skin, as its anti-inflammatory properties help to calm irritation and restore equilibrium.¹ Its antioxidant-rich profile works to neutralise free radicals and combat the effects of environmental stressors, preserving the skin’s natural radiance.² Additionally, its synergy with vitamin C enhances photoprotection, helping to shield the skin from oxidative damage while supporting a brighter, more even complexion.²
