POSTBIOLIFT™ is a bioactive ingredient derived from the biofermentation process of Lactobacillus crispatus. It contains dormant cells of the living bacterium, which contributes to more elastic skin, a smoother appearance of wrinkles around the eyes, and an even complexion. As skin microbiota diversity changes with age, certain beneficial lactic acid bacteria decrease in mature skin. BASF researchers found that Lactobacillus crispatus is one such bacterium, decreasing in specific skin areas and disappearing from the wrinkle hollows of older individuals. POSTBIOLIFT™ is the first cosmetic ingredient to use this "youth bacterium" found naturally on the skin, offering unique benefits that other biotics on the market lack. When used in conjunction with Postbiolift, which contains the fermentation supernatant of Lactobacillus crispatus, POSTBIOLIFT™ offers a comprehensive solution for maintaining youthful-looking skin.

Product Properties

Postbiolift is a new and unique postbiotic ingredient containing beneficial metabolites secreted by Lactobacillus crispatus. It helps to stimulate the synthesis of elastin and its partners, while slowing down the frequency of subcutaneous cells’ contraction and decreasing melanin synthesis. It contributes to an improvement in the mechanical properties of the skin to help make it more elastic, smooth the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes and create an even complexion.
