A New Generation of Formulas That Cleanse Without Compromising the Barrier
—When Cleansing Evolves from Stripping Away to Protecting the Skin’s Microbiome
In traditional skincare, “cleansing” meant removal and “makeup removal” meant total elimination.
But in modern skin philosophy, over-cleansing is now seen as a major cause of barrier imbalance.
Today’s consumers ask a different question: “How can I cleanse without damaging?”
This shift gives rise to a new wave of postbiotic and fermented extract–based cleansers and removers—
products that go beyond cleaning, offering gentle repair and microbiome balance in every wash.
1. From Cleansing Power to Barrier Kindness
Old formulas prioritized foam and oil removal, but modern skin demands more:
mild cleansing that preserves lipids, maintains balance, and supports resilience.
The Postbiotics × Fermented Extracts approach redefines cleansing as a nourishing ritual,
focusing on “cleanse + protect + repair” rather than “cleanse + strip.”
These formulations ensure skin remains soft, hydrated, and balanced—even immediately after washing.
2. The Core Formula: Postbiotics × Fermented Extracts
1. Postbiotics
Metabolic by-products of beneficial bacteria, postbiotics are stable, skin-friendly actives that help:
- Balance the skin’s microbiome
- Soothe dryness and irritation during cleansing
- Reinforce barrier function and improve tolerance
Key Ingredients:
- Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate – promotes balance and resilience
- Bifida Ferment Lysate – rich in nucleotides and amino acids; helps strengthen skin, reduce redness, and calm dryness caused by environmental stress
2. Fermented Extracts
Fermentation breaks down raw botanical or yeast materials into smaller, more absorbable molecules,
releasing amino acids, polysaccharides, and organic acids that deeply hydrate and comfort skin.
Key Ingredients:
- Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate – improves smoothness and radiance
- Rice Ferment Filtrate – rich in amino acids for balanced hydration
- Soy Ferment Filtrate – offers antioxidant and moisturizing benefits
3. Gentle Cleansing Base
- Amino acid–based surfactants (e.g., Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate)
- Plant-derived surfactants (e.g., Decyl Glucoside)
- Weakly acidic pH (5.5–6.0) to maintain the skin’s natural acid mantle
- Added Ceramide, LIPIDURE, and Panthenol to minimize post-wash tightness
Together, these create a microbiome-friendly cleansing system that respects the barrier while delivering comfort.
3. Triple Benefits: When Cleansing Becomes Care
- Barrier-Safe – Retains essential lipids, avoids over-cleansing
- Microbiome Support – Postbiotics nurture beneficial bacteria balance
- After-Wash Repair – Fermented actives and lipidic moisturizers leave skin hydrated, not stripped
Ideal for sensitive, dry, and post-procedure skin,
these cleansers transform daily washing into a restorative step.
4. Product Applications and Innovation Directions
- Postbiotic Cleansing Oil / Milk – removes makeup while preserving the lipid layer
- Fermented Cleanser or Foam – low-foam, low-friction for delicate skin
- Fermented Cleansing Balm – deep cleanses while soothing and nourishing
- Fermented Micellar Water – fragrance-free, alcohol-free, leaving skin fresh and calm
By reframing cleansing as part of skin wellness,
brands can introduce “skincare-grade cleansers”—a rising category combining efficacy and comfort.
