Performance & Formulation Insights for B9-Vitapol

How Bio-Fermented Folic Acid Works

B9-Vitapol utilizes a sophisticated fermentation process with Bacillus to transform standard Folic Acid (Vitamin B9) into a more stable, potent, and skin-compatible active. Vitamin B9 is essential for DNA synthesis and repair, as well as healthy cell turnover. Fermentation helps produce a smaller, more bioavailable profile that skin can readily absorb and utilize. This fermented folate extract supports fibroblast activity to promote collagen synthesis for improved firmness and visible wrinkle reduction. In addition, its strong antioxidant capacity helps defend cellular DNA from UV- and pollution-induced oxidative stress, while its anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties help calm the look of irritation. The inclusion of Sodium Hyaluronate provides immediate, surface-level hydration that complements long-term cellular benefits.

Formulation Guidelines

B9-Vitapol is a water-soluble liquid compatible with serums, gels, emulsions, and aqueous solutions. For optimal stability, add to the water phase or incorporate during the cool-down phase below 40°C (104°F). It performs well in a typical cosmetic pH range of 5.0–7.0 and is compatible with most common actives, including vitamins, peptides, and botanical extracts.
