ASPERGILLUS/CAMELLIA SINENSIS LEAF FERMENT POWDER

Description

Aspergillus/Camellia Sinensis Leaf Ferment Powder is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of green tea leaves by Aspergillus fungi. This process enhances the bioavailability and efficacy of green tea's beneficial compounds, including polyphenols and catechins.

The fermentation breaks down complex molecules into smaller, more easily absorbed components, potentially increasing their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This ingredient is known for its potent free radical scavenging abilities, which can help protect the skin from oxidative stress and environmental damage.

Studies suggest that this fermented green tea extract may improve skin hydration, elasticity, and overall texture. It has shown promise in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as in regulating sebum production, making it beneficial for both aging and acne-prone skin.

The powder form allows for easy incorporation into various skincare formulations, including serums, creams, and masks. Its stability and compatibility with other ingredients make it a versatile addition to skincare products targeting multiple skin concerns. However, as with any botanical ingredient, patch testing is recommended to ensure individual skin compatibility.
