lysate tackled this common problem of sedimentation via application of a unique hydrogel technology. The introduction of this hydrogel technology makes the ingredients more stable and homogeneous, consequently, there is no more observable precipitates or sediments at the bottom of the container (Figure 6B).


Conclusion The uniqueness of SpecChem’s LF Lactobacillus ferment lysate series is that by transforming the advantages of TCM ingredients, it combines the efficacy of prebiotics and postbiotics. As a result, it could add in unprecedented dual nourishment, protection and repair effect to both skin and hair care products. With the global micro-ecological skincare


trend and the increased popularity of natural cosmetic ingredient, SpecBio LF Hydrogel and SpecBio LF Filtrate should be a valuable asset for many cosmetic and personal care brands that want to participate in the rally of micro- ecological skincare products.
