What is Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate?
Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, or Radish Root Ferment, is a plant-based preservative alternative created by fermenting radish root with Leuconostoc, a lactic acid bacteria. During fermentation, the process yields antimicrobial peptides that help prevent bacterial growth while also offering skin-conditioning benefits. Unlike traditional synthetic preservatives, this ferment is known for being gentle, biodegradable, and effective.
Fermentation has long been seen as a process of transformation and renewal. In clean beauty, this aligns with rituals of balance, purity, and intentional formulation.
