ACETOBACTER/LYCIUM CHINENSE FRUIT/REHMANNIA GLUTINOSA ROOT/CUSCUTA CHINENSIS FRUIT/CISTANCHE DESERTICOLA/ZANTHOXYLUM PIPERITUM FRUIT/CHRYSANTHEMUM MORIFOLIUM FRUIT/PORIA COCOS/CINNAMOMUM CASSIA FERMENT is a complex, fermented botanical blend that harnesses the power of traditional Asian medicinal plants and modern biotechnology. This ingredient combines the benefits of multiple plant extracts with the transformative effects of fermentation by Acetobacter bacteria.
The formulation includes Lycium chinense (goji berry), known for its antioxidant properties; Rehmannia glutinosa root, which may aid in skin hydration; and Cuscuta chinensis fruit, traditionally used for its anti-aging effects. Cistanche deserticola and Zanthoxylum piperitum fruit contribute potential anti-inflammatory benefits, while Chrysanthemum morifolium fruit offers additional antioxidant support. Poria cocos, a fungus used in traditional medicine, may help improve skin texture and tone. Cinnamomum cassia adds antimicrobial properties to the blend.
The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability and efficacy of these botanical ingredients, potentially increasing their skin-beneficial compounds and creating new active metabolites. This fermented complex aims to provide comprehensive skincare benefits, including improved hydration, antioxidant protection, and support for overall skin health and appearance.
