What It Is

This ingredient is a natural antifungal preservative derived from the fermentation of coconut fruit with Lactobacillus. It helps prevent the growth of mold and yeast in water-based skincare products, extending shelf life while being gentle on the skin.

Why We Use It

We use this fermented coconut extract to naturally protect our formulations from fungal contamination without synthetic preservatives. It offers a clean, effective way to preserve product integrity while supporting sensitive skin needs.

Origin & How It’s Made

This ingredient is sourced from coconut fruit. It’s made by fermenting coconut extract with Lactobacillus bacteria, a probiotic commonly used in skincare. The fermentation process produces antimicrobial peptides that inhibit the growth of unwanted microbes like mold and yeast.
