Abstract

In light of the fact that three of the five healthiest meals on earth are fermented, fermentation came into focus of both customers, product developers, and researchers all around the world. Even in the cosmetics industry, fermented cosmetics have been increasingly introduced, creating a market emphasising the positive image that healthy fermented substances are environment-friendly and that it also aids skin health. Moreover, discovering usages for various naturally occurring organo-mineral rocks is a growing area of research. Thus, this study’s aim was to combine the benefits of alginite and Lactobacilli (LAB) for cosmetic applications and investigate their combined effect on the skin considering the fermentation parameters as well, such as biomass and lactic acid concentration. The examined LAB strains were Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Limosilactobacillus reuteri, and Lactococcus lactis, and a non-LAB probiotic strain Bifidobacterium adolescentis was also studied for the same purposes. The cell-free broth, also called as “filtrates”, of the fermentations—both those that included alginite and those that did not—were tested for skin moisturising with a corneometer and for antioxidant activity with DPPH scavenging, as well as for skin-whitening properties with the inhibition of mushroom tyrosinase. The findings suggest that the combination of alginite and Limosilactobacillus reuteri is a potential novel cosmeceutical component with skin tanning capabilities. This result may help create more readily available, environmentally friendly, natural, and sustainable cosmetic ingredients.
