New Step in Supporting the Skin Microbiome: Bio-Fermented Aloe Vera
The Rise of Microbiome Friendly Formulas
In recent years, the cosmetics world has been constantly renewing to meet the needs of consumers by focusing on natural and science-based solutions. In particular, trends such as fermented ingredients, skin microbiome-friendly formulas and anti-pollution (protection against environmental stress factors) offer both effective and sustainable solutions. In this article, we explain how bio-fermented Aloe Vera-based product, which contains powerful actives such as Lactobacillus/Aloe Barbadensis Ferment Filtrate and ß-Glucan, fits perfectly with these trends.
1. Why are fermented ingredients trending in cosmetics?
Fermentation technology has transformed skincare by enhancing the bioavailability of both plant and bacterial ingredients. This process breaks down bioactive molecules found in plants, making them smaller and more readily absorbed by the skin. Additionally, the lysates, which are fragments of bacterial cells generated during fermentation, help to fortify the skin barrier and nurture the skin microbiome.
Microbiome Balancing:
Lactobacillus ferment helps to prevent the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria by balancing the skin microbiome balance effect and shows a postbiotic effect. In this way, it helps the skin microbiome to achieve a healthy balance. Research shows that balancing the skin microbiome reduces problems such as acne, eczema and sensitivity (Source: International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2023).
Especially Lactobacillus/Aloe Barbadensis Ferment Filtrate is one of the most effective examples of this technology. Fermented Aloe Vera helps moisturises the skin (Dal'Belo et al., 2006), has an anti-inflammatory effect (Vázquez et al., 1996) and protects against environmental stress factors. This positions it as an essential element of microbiome-friendly skincare trends.
Why Hydration and TEWL Reduction Matter
Hydration is the key to plump, youthful, and healthy-looking skin.
TEWL (transepidermal water loss) occurs when the skin loses moisture to the environment, leading to dryness, sensitivity, and a weakened barrier.
Environmental factors like pollution and UV exposure accelerate TEWL, making it crucial to use products that lock in moisture and repair the skin barrier.
The fermentation process increases the bioavailability of the polyphenols and polysaccharides contained in Aloe Vera. These molecules help enhance skin hydration by boosting the natural moisturizing factors (NMF), while also improving penetration due to the breakdown of high molecular weight polysaccharides. In addition, the lysates produced during fermentation strengthen the skin barrier, helps to reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines and promote collagen synthesis by inhibiting MMP-1 activity, leading to enhanced skin repair and anti-aging effects.
