In skincare, some ingredients work only on the surface, offering quick fixes, while others go deeper, supporting the very ecosystem that keeps skin healthy. Lactobacillus Ferment Filtrate belongs firmly in the latter group. Rooted in the science of fermentation, this ingredient is now reshaping how we understand skin resilience, particularly during menopause.

What Is Lactobacillus Ferment Filtrate?

Lactobacillus Ferment Filtrate is created by fermenting Lactobacillus bacteria, long recognised for their role in gut and skin health. During fermentation, these microbes release a variety of beneficial compounds that the skin can readily absorb, thanks to their smaller, more bioavailable size. These include:

• Amino acids and peptides: Support repair, hydration, and overall skin resilience.
• Organic acids (such as lactic acid): Help maintain a healthy skin pH, gently exfoliate, and improve hydration.
• Enzymes: Contribute to skin renewal and barrier recovery.
• Antioxidants: Provide protection from oxidative stress and environmental damage.

Together, these compounds enhance the ingredient’s potency, allowing it to deliver benefits that extend far beyond basic hydration.

Why It Matters for Skin Health

The skin is constantly exposed to stress, whether from pollution, UV light, or internal changes such as menopause. Lactobacillus Ferment Filtrate helps meet these challenges by strengthening the barrier, calming irritation, and supporting a stable microbiome. Its humectant properties improve hydration, while its antioxidant activity offers protection against environmental aggressors. The result is skin that feels calmer, more resilient, and better equipped to adapt through change.

The Menopause–Microbiome Connection

Falling oestrogen during menopause doesn’t just affect collagen, it also alters the skin’s microbiome. This shift often leads to dryness, redness, breakouts, and slower recovery. By supporting the microbiome, Lactobacillus Ferment Filtrate helps skin adapt during this transition, providing comfort, hydration, and protection.

The Science Behind the Calm

Research has shown that topical application of Lactobacillus Ferment Filtrate can reduce signs of sensitivity such as stinging and itching, while boosting hydration. Its protective effects against pollution and oxidative stress make it a quiet yet powerful ally for long-term skin health.

How We Use It at Nu Allumé

Every formulation in the Nu Allumé range has a clear scientific purpose. We use Lactobacillus Ferment Filtrate to restore barrier strength, ease irritation linked to microbiome changes, and keep menopausal skin calm, hydrated, and resilient. Paired with Centella Asiatica, antioxidant complexes, and other ferments, it becomes part of a holistic approach to supporting the biology of skin in menopause.

Conclusion

Lactobacillus Ferment Filtrate may work in the background, but its impact is profound. By linking the science of fermentation to the needs of menopausal skin, it delivers resilience, hydration, and calm when skin needs it most — making it a cornerstone of Nu Allumé’s microbiome-focused skincare.
