How does fermented tomato extract work?
During fermentation, microorganisms transform part of the fruit’s natural components, creating a mixture of plant-derived compounds and fermentation metabolites. This may affect their solubility, availability in the formulation, and the way they interact with the skin. The final profile of the raw material, however, depends on the strain used, fermentation conditions, and further processing.
The primary cosmetic function of fermented extract is skin and hair conditioning. In facial products it supports softness, smoothness, and skin comfort, and complements the action of moisturizing and regenerating formulations. In hair cosmetics it helps improve their perceptible smoothness, softness, and manageability.
Fermented extract may also contribute ingredients with antioxidant potential to the formulation, derived from the tomato or formed during fermentation. It is not, however, a live bacterial culture and should not be called a probiotic.
