Expert Verdict

Glutamic acid is a naturally occurring amino acid with an excellent safety profile; no significant concerns documented for the ferment filtrate. Bacillus fermentation of glutamic acid may yield poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA), a potent humectant with water-retention capacity reportedly superior to hyaluronic acid; the filtrate is biotechnological in origin
