Lactobacillus/(citrus junos/prunus mume/punica granatum) fruit ferment filtrate is a product obtained by fermenting the fruits of Punica granatum, Prunus mume, Citrus junos, by Lactobacillus.

The name describes the structure of the molecule:

• Lactobacillus, a type of beneficial bacteria used in fermentation. Lactobacillus is known for its probiotic properties and is often used in cosmetics for its skin benefits.
• Citrus Junos/Prunus Mume/Punica Granatum. These terms refer to Yuzu, Ume (Japanese plum), and Pomegranate, respectively. These fruits are known for their antioxidant and nourishing properties.
• Fruit Ferment Filtrate indicates that the product is a filtrate obtained from the fermentation of these fruits with Lactobacillus bacteria. The fermentation process can increase the concentration of certain nutrients and make the compounds more easily absorbable by the skin.

Industrial Production of the Ferment Filtrate

• Fermentation of Citrus Junos, Prunus Mume, and Punica Granatum fruits with Lactobacillus cultures. During fermentation, the bacteria transform the sugars in the fruits into lactic acid and other metabolites.
• Fermentation Control. The fermentation is monitored to ensure it occurs correctly and the fruits are optimally fermented.
• Filtration. After fermentation, the product is filtered to remove solid residues, yielding the ferment filtrate.
• Quality Control The ferment filtrate undergoes quality checks to ensure it meets the required standards. After quality control, it is packaged for use in cosmetic and skincare products, where it utilizes its properties as a nourishing and beneficial ingredient.
