CHLORELLA VULGARIS/LUPINUS ALBUS PROTEIN FERMENT
Chlorella vulgaris/Lupinus albus protein ferment is a liquid cosmetic ingredient made by fermenting Lupinus albus protein with the microalga Chlorella vulgaris. It is not the same as lupin oil or whole powdered microalgae: the name identifies a fermentation preparation based on that protein-and-algae combination.
CHLORELLA VULGARIS/LUPINUS ALBUS PROTEIN FERMENT: what it is
Chlorella vulgaris/Lupinus albus protein ferment is a liquid cosmetic ingredient made by fermenting Lupinus albus protein with the microalga Chlorella vulgaris. It is not the same as lupin oil or whole powdered microalgae: the name identifies a fermentation preparation based on that protein-and-algae combination.
Chlorella vulgaris is classified among green algae, while Lupinus albus is white lupin. The preparation is described as a protein fermentation product, meaning that the starting material has been biologically transformed before it is used in a formula. The two biological names therefore identify the materials associated with the preparation, rather than a simple raw blend.
CHLORELLA VULGARIS/LUPINUS ALBUS PROTEIN FERMENT: what it does in cosmetics
In skin-care cosmetics, Chlorella vulgaris/Lupinus albus protein ferment is used for skin conditioning. In everyday terms, that means it is included to help keep skin in good condition as part of the overall formula, rather than to act as a stand-alone treatment.
It is also listed for skin protecting, meaning protection from external influences within a cosmetic formula. That category does not make it a sunscreen or establish protection against any particular exposure; it places the ferment among skin-care ingredients.
