TLDR Lactic acid bacteria fermentation can turn waste into valuable skincare ingredients.
The study explores the use of lactic acid bacteria fermentation to convert unused resources into high-value cosmetic ingredients. It focuses on fermenting animal placentas and asparagus byproducts, which are typically discarded. The research developed a "lactic acid bacteria-decomposed placenta fermentation liquid" using Enterococcus faecalis PR31, which promoted the proliferation of human skin fibroblasts and keratinocytes, showing significant moisturizing effects. Additionally, a "lactic acid bacteria-fermented asparagus extract" was created, enhancing skin barrier function through TLR2 stimulation. The study highlights the potential of these fermented products as environmentally friendly skincare ingredients, contributing to sustainable development goals by upcycling waste materials.
