Leucidal® SF Max is an optimized fermentation extract. Produced through the fermentation of Lactobacillus in a defined medium, it contains a high concentration of naturally produced bacteriocins. During manufacture, Lysozyme (sourced from papaya) is used to facilitate controlled cell lysis, ensuring the maximum release of antimicrobial peptides into the final water-soluble liquid.
Key Features & Technical Benefits

Antimicrobial Potency: Features a tightened specification for bacteriocins compared to standard ferments. MIC data is available for Gram-positive/negative bacteria, yeast, and mould.
-
Clinically Proven Skin Density: Ultrasound skin imaging assays showed a 15.96% improvement in skin density after four weeks of use at 2.0%.
-
Barrier Repair & Hydration: In vivo studies demonstrate a significant reduction in Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) and overall improved hydration compared to base lotions.
-
100% Pure Ferment: Composition is 100% Lactobacillus Ferment with no additional preservatives, antioxidants, or solvents (other than water).
