How we scored it
Filtrate of a bacterial fermentation broth: cell metabolites built from sugar and nutrient feedstock (fermentation product). Natural 100% / total 100% = 1.00.
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
Dominant route is fermentation of Sphingomonas on a sugar-based medium, followed by extraction and filtration of the broth. CosIng does not state the medium, so a plant-derived sugar and nutrient source is assumed.
In plain English
A skin-protecting ingredient made by growing Sphingomonas bacteria in a nutrient broth, then extracting and filtering the liquid to remove the cells. It is a mixture of substances the bacteria produce during fermentation rather than a single compound.
CosIng definition: Sphingomonas Ferment Extract Filtrate is a filtrate of the extract of the product obtained by the fermentation of Sphingomonas.
