What It Does

Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate is a natural antimicrobial peptide produced through the fermentation of radish roots by Leuconostoc kimchii bacteria, the same probiotic culture used in traditional kimchi production. This bio-fermented ingredient produces antimicrobial peptides that inhibit gram-negative bacteria, mold, and yeast, making it a popular natural alternative to traditional synthetic preservatives in clean beauty formulations. Formulators choose it for its dual functionality as both a preservative booster and skin-conditioning agent, while maintaining compatibility with natural and organic certification standards.
