About BACILLUS/BIOTITE/BENTONITE FERMENT EXTRACT FILTRATE
A unique triple-ferment using Bacillus bacteria on a mineral substrate of biotite (mica) and bentonite (clay), combining probiotic, mineral, and ferment benefits with some interesting regulatory nuances.
Detailed Analysis
Bacillus/Biotite/Bentonite Ferment Extract Filtrate is produced by fermenting a mixture of biotite (a mica-group silicate mineral) and bentonite (montmorillonite clay) with Bacillus bacteria. The fermentation may release minerals and generate bioactive metabolites. Bacillus species (particularly B. subtilis) have a long history of use in probiotic cosmetics andfermented foods (natto). Bentonite is widely used in cosmetics as a viscosity controller and is not restricted. Biotite is a natural mica mineral. The combination is novel but components individually have good safety profiles. Its pubchem_safety_score of 80 reflects a generally safe profile. Used for antimicrobial, antioxidant, and occlusive skin conditioning.
