BACKGROUND

FSS Vegan Yogurt Hydrolysate SF is the natural solution for non-animal derived, hydrolyzed yogurt protein answering the rappidly rising vegan trend. Veganism, one of the fastest growing sub-cultures of our day, has emerged in the beauty industry influencing every aspect of new product development. Cruelty free and vegan skin care products support and protect animal rights. Vegan products generally contain natural, organic and plant derived ingredients. Additionally, dairy free products are highly promoted to prevent lactose intolerance, sensitivity and irritation normally caused by traditional dairy based ingredients. 

Yogurt is recognized as a potent probiotic capable of delivering a variety of health benefits. Ancient cultures that first made cosmetics may not have understood how actives such as yogurt improved the skin, but they certainly used them. It has been said that Cleopatra used to bathe in milk so her skin would be smooth and soft. The traditional art of fermenting milk into yogurt as a means of preservation is thought to have occurred around 2,000 BCE. Since then yogurt has become a dietary staple in many Asian, Middle Eastern and European cultures.

SCIENCE

Probiotics are live microorganisms which when applied in adequate amounts can offer health benefits to the host. "Pro” and "biotic” directly translate to "in favor of life”. Probiotics are bacteria baring resemblance to bacteria naturally found on and within the human body. They work to protect the healthy bacterial environment present on the skin by replacing lost bacteria, preventing future loss, and creating a prospering environment. When a balance of good bacteria is present on the skin the skin becomes calm and resistant to aging. 

This coconut yogurt has been sustainably manufactured by fermenting coconut milk with the beneficial bacteria Lactobacillus bulgaricus. The proteins are then hydrolyzed to develop FSS Vegan Yogurt Hydrolysate SF, a moisturizing vegan probiotic. Hydrolyzing proteins enhances both the functional and nutritional properties of an active. The molecular weights of these proteins range between 2,000 and 4,000 daltons. Coconut milk is an excellent dairy replacement, rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids. The fermentation of coconut milk with Lactobacillus bacteria allows the formation of vegan yogurt proteins  that capitalizes on both vegan and probiotic trends.
