What It Does

This is a natural preservative system created through the fermentation of radish root by Leuconostoc bacteria, combined with Lactobacillus-fermented coconut fruit extract. The fermentation process produces antimicrobial peptides and organic acids that provide broad-spectrum preservation against bacteria, yeast, and mold, making it a popular choice for natural and organic cosmetic formulations seeking alternatives to traditional synthetic preservatives. Formulators value this ingredient for its dual functionality as both a preservation system and a skin-conditioning agent, while maintaining a clean label appeal and compatibility with sensitive skin formulations.
