Findings

Kombucha-fermented red berry extracts showed higher levels of active compounds than non-fermented versions, with both proving non-toxic to skin cells in lab tests. Applied topically in a tonic formula, these ingredients improved skin hydration, reduced water loss, and helped balance pH—suggesting kombucha ferments could be a legitimate skincare ingredient, not just hype.
