RE: Products that may contain the Zenakine formulation23 Oct 2025 07:49
This is what chatGPT says (it explains why you dont see the word "zenakine" in the shops)
What this means practically for brands / formulas
When a beauty brand formulates using Zenakine™, they will often purchase the ingredient from Croda under the Zenakine™ brand.
On the ingredient declaration (on product packaging / regulatory documentation) the INCI name must be used. In many jurisdictions, the INCI name for that active will appear as “Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate (and) Glycerin … etc” (as above) — rather than or in addition to simply “Zenakine™”.
For example, the INCI is exactly that full string including glycerin etc.

For marketing / ingredient claim purposes, the brand may say “contains Zenakine™” (the branded active) but regulatory / formulation documents will refer to the INCI.
Thus, “Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate” is the generic functional ingredient term, while Zenakine™ is the branded product name (with a specific formulation/composition, claims, data set) registered by Croda.
