In our reference data, Thermus Thermophillus Ferment can feed Malassezia (fungal acne).
Thermus Thermophillus Ferment is a fermentation-derived ingredient obtained from a thermophilic (heat-loving) bacterium, used in skincare primarily for its antioxidant properties and purported ability to enhance skin's resistance to environmental and thermal stress. It is often included for its protective and conditioning effects rather than as a primary corrective active.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Mild irritation or redness | Rare | Occasional transient irritation, generally in individuals with sensitive skin. |
Allergic contact dermatitis | Very rare | Sensitization is uncommon but possible, as with most fermentation-derived ingredients. |
Stinging or itching | Rare | Usually transient and formulation-dependent. |
Frequencies reflect typical cosmetic use reported in the literature, not a guarantee for your skin.
