Lacto-intensive active complex

Whey

The special lacto-intensive active complex is the base of most of the BIOTURM products for problematic skin. It consists of organic whey (sour whey which originates from certified organic farms); lactic acid bacteria are added under controlled conditions and the whey is fermented under identical conditions. During this process, milk proteins and milk sugar are degraded into amino acids, lactic acid and its salts.

Similarity to natural skin condition

The lacto-intensive active complex contains many ingredients which can be found in a very similar composition in the natural skin milieu: whey proteins and amino acids, lactic acid and its salts, minerals, trace elements, carbohydrates and vitamins. Thus, already the base of the products is compliant with the skin and very well tolerated. It causes a normalisation of the skin flora and the acid mantle. Natural lactic acid, essential amino acids, trace elements etc. are well absorbed by the skin and normalise the skin's moisture level.

The following chart shows the functions fulfilled by the skin, how these functions are fulfilled in the natural skin milieu (right) respectively how the ingredients of the lacto-intensive active complex fulfill these functions (left).
