Streptococcus Thermophilus Ferment

Low risk

FunctionFerment Exfoliant

What it is — Streptococcus Thermophilus Ferment (INCI: Streptococcus Thermophilus Ferment), a fermentation-derived ingredient produced by culturing this bacterium under controlled conditions.

What it does — It is commonly used as a gentle exfoliating and conditioning agent, and ferment ingredients like it are often included to support a soft, smooth surface and a comfortable skin feel.

Typical use — Found in essences, serums, moisturizers and some scalp treatments, usually as a supporting ingredient rather than the headline active.

Who it suits / good to know — Generally considered mild and suitable for a range of skin types, including those who prefer fermentation-based formulas; results depend on the overall product.

Safety — Rated low risk here and typically well tolerated. This is general information, not medical advice; if your skin is reactive, a patch test before regular use is sensible.
