Lysate Elixir: Lactobacillus
Introduction:
In the world of beauty, continuous innovation is important to respond to consumers' expectations with effective products. In this context, bacterial lysate has emerged as a powerful and versatile ingredient with many advantages and uses in beauty and skincare.
In this blog post, we will specifically address the advantages of bacterial lysate and its perspective in cosmetics.
Understanding Bacterial Lysate:
Bacterial lysate is essentially a mixture of cellular components obtained from the breakdown of bacterial cells. While the term "bacteria" might sound alarming, it's important to note that bacterial lysate used in cosmetics is derived from non-pathogenic bacteria, ensuring safety for skincare applications.
The lysate contains proteins, DNA, and other cellular substances that have been found to be beneficial in skincare.
The process of creating bacterial lysate involves disrupting the bacterial cell walls, releasing a range of bioactive compounds with various benefits for the skin.
Many recent clinical trials clearly show that postbiotic, i.e. bacterial lysate supplementation can be beneficial to the skin. [1,2]
Numerous clinical trials widely suggest that lysate supplementation may be particularly beneficial in the treatment of atopic dermatitis and dry skin conditions.
Advantages of Bacterial Lysate in Cosmetics:
1) Skin Barrier Repair:
Bacterial lysate contains components that can aid in reinforcing and repairing the skin's natural barrier. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with compromised skin barriers, such as those with sensitive or dry skin.
By promoting barrier function, bacterial lysate helps retain moisture, reducing the risk of dryness and irritation.
Let’s see the graphs where a study showed that a lotion containing bacterial lysate can provide a protective effect in reducing water loss in the skin! :

While TEWL, i.e. water loss in the skin, decreased, the rate of moisture level increased at the same rate. [3]

2) Anti-Inflammatory Properties:
The bioactive compounds in bacterial lysate exhibit anti-inflammatory properties, making it an excellent choice for skincare products targeting redness and inflammation.
This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with inflammatory skin conditions like rosacea or acne.

3) Stimulation of Collagen Production:
Collagen is crucial for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. Bacterial lysate has been found to stimulate collagen production, promoting a more youthful and resilient complexion. This makes it a valuable ingredient in anti-aging formulations.
Antioxidant Effects:
Bacterial lysate contains antioxidants that help protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. This is important for preventing premature aging and maintaining overall skin health.
Uses of Bacterial Lysate in Cosmetical Products
