About GALACTOMYCES/OLIVE LEAF FERMENT EXTRACT

A probiotic fungal ferment combined with olive leaf antioxidants, popular in fermented skincare lines for its hydrating and brightening properties.

Detailed Analysis

Galactomyces is a yeast-like fungus well-established in fermented skincare (similar to PITERA in SK-II) with a strong safety record in topical cosmetics. Olive leaf contains oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol with potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. The fermentation process may enhance bioavailability of olive polyphenols and reduce sensitization risk. No EU cosmetic restrictions apply. Well-tolerated across skin types including sensitive skin.
