ASPERGILLUS/CASTANEA CRENATA PELLICLE FERMENT EXTRACT

Description

Aspergillus/Castanea Crenata Pellicle Ferment Extract is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of Japanese chestnut (Castanea crenata) outer shell by Aspergillus fungi. This bioactive compound harnesses the power of fermentation to enhance the natural properties of chestnut extract, resulting in a potent antioxidant and skin-conditioning agent.

The fermentation process breaks down complex molecules into smaller, more easily absorbed compounds, increasing the bioavailability of beneficial nutrients. This extract is rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, and tannins, which offer powerful antioxidant protection against free radical damage and environmental stressors. It also contains amino acids and peptides that support skin barrier function and promote moisture retention.

Studies have shown that Aspergillus/Castanea Crenata Pellicle Ferment Extract exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, helping to soothe irritated skin and reduce redness. Additionally, it has demonstrated potential in improving skin elasticity and firmness, making it a valuable ingredient in anti-aging formulations. The extract's gentle nature makes it suitable for various skin types, including sensitive skin.
