INNOVACTIVE FERMENTATION STRATEGY

Bacillus Subtilis originally obtained from Natto (the oldest Japanese food) during soybeans lactic fermentation, is fermented in the laboratory under controlled technological conditions in a specific medium with natural substrates and natural peptides having cosmetic properties.

During fermentation process, Bacillus Subtilis sp. Natto produces several bio actives peptides and enzymes playing key roles in skin cells.

The INNOVACTIVE FERMENTATION STRATEGY to obtain a Ferment-Peptide Complex is based on the addition of  peptide during natural fermentation of Bacillus Subtilis grown with plant-derived nutrients.

INNOVACTIVE MICROFERM

Ferment-Peptide Complex derived from natural fermentation in which Bacillus Subtilis grows in a specific medium including a natural antimicrobial peptide which is the Oligopeptide-10, to synergize with peptides produced by the bacteria offering a strong antimicrobial activity against bacteria pathogens and also against C. Acnes.

KEY ACTIVE INGREDIENTS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS

At the end of fermentation, the bacteria are filtered and lysed to obtain a concentrate rich in active ingredient such as:

Peptides and enzymes are titrated as total proteins and specific enzymatic activities which together with the B Group Vitamins make the Ferment-Peptide Complex particularly effective in several activities.

In the MICROFERM particularly:

The Oligopeptide-10 is an anti-microbial derived from
plant amino acids with a broad spectrum activity against many types of microorganisms, including C. Acnes bacteria

We observe a synergistic antimicrobial effect with
antimicrobial peptide produced by the bacteria during the natural fermentation process.

NEW EFFICACY IN VIVO TEST ANTI-ACNE

Acne is a rather common disorder characterized by inflammation of the pilosebaceous glands.

Typical of puberty, acne can still occur at any age, as it can be triggered by different types of factors, both internal and external such as: hormonal imbalances, bacterial causes, stress, genetic factors, drugs and particularly occlusive cosmetics.

As far as the bacterial causes are concerned, acne can be favored by the uncontrolled proliferation of Cutibacterium Acnes, a bacteria that normally lives on the skin under physiological conditions, however in the event of obstruction of the skin pores, this bacteria is able to multiply up to causing to the appearance of acne and inflammation.

INNOVACTIVE MICROFERM is a Ferment -Peptide Complex with a strong activity against bacteria pathogens and also C. Acnes which is why it is useful in the treatment of acne symptoms where, in addition to counteracting the bacterial proliferation of the responsible pathogen, it also carries out a moisturizing and protective action.

SEBUM-REDUCTION ACTIVITY

The reduction of specular shine demonstrates a reduction in oiliness and therefore in sebum secretion.

SEBUM-BALANCING EFFECT
REDUCTION IN THE VISIBILITY OF REDNESS

It was performed a clinical study with 10 subjects and a gel containing Microferm at 1% was applied twice a day for 14 days on one side of the face and the placebo on the other one.

The effect of the product was evaluated analysing the sebum reduction and the reduction of the visibility of redness in comparison with the variation obtained from a placebo.
