Radish Root Ferment: Probiotics for Natural Preservation

Radish root ferment is a natural preservative derived from fermented radish roots. The INCI name for radish root ferment is Leuconostoc Radish Root Ferment .

Lactic acid bacteria are used to produce radish root ferment. This traditional Korean production method is also used to make gut-friendly kimichii. During the fermentation process, the bacteria secrete a peptide with antimicrobial properties, thus creating the ferments.

The ferments from radish root are excellent food for the "good" bacteria on the skin, thus promoting a healthy skin microbiome. A healthy skin microbiome with many beneficial bacteria offers little space for pathogenic bacteria, resulting in fewer inflammations. Radish root ferment also has antioxidant properties.
