Bifida Ferment Filtrate

Filtrate obtained through the fermentation of compound bifidobacterium strains

Typically found in skin care products claiming to deliver microbiome-balancing benefits

Currently, there is a lack of research on this ingredient as it pertains to skin

In raw material form, it appears as a colorless to light-yellow, transparent liquid

Bifida ferment filtrate is a non-living probiotic-related ingredient typically found in skin care products claiming to deliver microbiome-balancing benefits (although “supporting the microbiome” is more accurate since one ingredient cannot balance the ever-shifting microbiome). It is a filtrate obtained through the fermentation of compound bifidobacterium strains. At the time of this review, there is a lack of research on this ingredient as it pertains to skin, making it difficult to assess.

In general, fermented probiotics have been shown to help reduce the proliferation of harmful microorganisms on skin’s surface. In theory, there’s potential for Bifida ferment filtrate to improve the health of skin.

Suppliers of this ingredient claim that it offers mild exfoliating and antioxidant benefits. However, we did not find any independent studies to support this. Despite this, similar ingredients have impressive bona-fides, so we’re giving this one some leeway in anticipation of what future research may reveal.

In raw material form, it appears as a colorless to light-yellow, transparent liquid.

As this is a probiotic-related ingredient, it is best to keep it away from both light and air exposure.
