How we scored it
Fermentation product; filtrate of microbial growth media, no isolated small-molecule structure to fragment -> 1.0 by category rule
What counts. ISO 16128-2 scores the atoms that remain in the final ingredient. Reagents, solvents, catalysts and protecting groups used during manufacture leave no mass behind and are not counted.
Where it comes from
Made by fermenting Bacillus bacteria in a nutrient broth, then filtering out the cells. The remaining liquid is the natural fermentation by-product used in the product.
In plain English
A skin-conditioning ingredient left over after filtering the bacteria out of a fermentation broth. Produced by growing Bacillus bacteria in a nutrient medium, similar to how yogurt cultures are fermented.
CosIng definition: Bacillus Ferment Filtrate is a filtrate of the product obtained by the fermentation of a growth media by Bacillus Ferment
