"An intact skin barrier is the foundation of healthy skin.""Ferments support the skin microbiome in such a versatile and effective way – that’s why they are indispensable active ingredients in my skincare line."
WHY FERMENT?
Während ihrer Tätigkeit in der Wundambulanz des Universitätsklinikums Hamburg-Eppendorf suchte Dr. Emi Arpa nach ergänzenden Behandlungsmethoden zur konventionellen Wundpflege. Dabei stieß sie 2017 erstmals auf Fermente als potenziellen Wirkstoff und begann ihre Recherche nach aktuellen Daten zu deren positiver Einfluss auf die Hautgesundheit.
WHAT IS FERMENTATION?
Fermentation is a bioprocess for food that has been practiced since the dawn of civilization. Fermented products such as tofu, tempeh, natto, bread, kefir, and cheese have been a staple of diets in numerous cultures for thousands of years and are valued for their good digestibility.
Bioprocesses are generally defined as specific biochemical reactions aimed at producing desired components such as fatty acids, polysaccharides, vitamins, bacteriocins, enzymes, and peptides. Fermentation reactions are carried out by living cells or their components.
BENEFITS OF FERMENTS
Die Vorteile fermentierter Wirkstoffe für die Haut lassen sich auf verschiedene Faktoren zurückführen. Während der Fermentation werden die eingesetzten Rohstoffe (z.B. Sojabohnen) durch Mikroorganismen in kleinere Moleküle aufgespalten. Auf diese Weise wird die Bioverfügbarkeit der Nährstoffe im fermentierten Endprodukt erhöht. Durch die Fermentierung werden also „gute Moleküle“ freigesetzt und können besser von deiner Haut aufgenommen werden.
INCREASED EFFECTIVENESS
Fermentation improves bioavailability, allowing the molecules to work more effectively. Bioavailability indicates to what extent, within what time frame, and at what location in the body a medical or cosmetic ingredient exerts its effect. A high bioavailability means that the body can easily absorb the substance, while a low bioavailability makes absorption more difficult.
SKIN HEALTH
Healthy skin is your shield against external influences such as UV radiation or pathogens. Healthy skin cells ensure a natural balance and radiant, naturally beautiful skin. From increasing skin hydration to improving skin redness, certain enzymes can support your skin health in various ways.
SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN
Postbiotics are metabolic products of intentionally inactivated microbial cells that have been shown to contribute to a positive health benefit. Postbiotic components include fatty acids, polysaccharides, vitamins, bacteriocins, enzymes, and peptides, which are also suitable for sensitive skin.

MORE SKINCARE HEROES: PRE- & POSTBIOTICS
In addition to postbiotic ferments, our products contain so-called prebiotics, which serve as food for the skin's microbiome. The ingredients Alpha-glucan-oligosaccharides and inulin are part of the prebiotics.
Together with other selected ingredients, pre- and postbiotics support a strengthened, healthy skin barrier. An intact skin barrier is capable of retaining moisture and protecting the skin from external influences such as dirt, microorganisms, and free radicals.
