ANTRODIA CINNAMOMEA FERMENT FILTRATE POWDER

Description

Antrodia cinnamomea ferment filtrate powder is derived from the mycelia of Antrodia cinnamomea, a rare fungus native to Taiwan's cypress forests. This ingredient has garnered significant attention in skincare for its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability of its active compounds, including triterpenoids, polysaccharides, and phenolic acids.

Studies have shown that Antrodia cinnamomea extract exhibits strong free radical scavenging activity, potentially protecting skin cells from oxidative stress and premature aging. Its anti-inflammatory effects may help soothe irritated skin and reduce redness. The ingredient has also demonstrated potential in supporting skin barrier function and enhancing moisture retention.

In skincare formulations, Antrodia cinnamomea ferment filtrate powder is typically used in concentrations ranging from 0.1% to 1%. It is compatible with a wide range of skincare ingredients and can be incorporated into various product types, including serums, moisturizers, and masks. The powder form allows for easy integration into both water-based and oil-based formulations. While more research is needed to fully elucidate its benefits, preliminary findings suggest this ingredient holds promise for addressing multiple skin concerns, particularly those related to aging and environmental stress.
