ASPERGILLUS/LACTOBACILLUS/APHANIZOMENON FLOS-AQUAE/RICE SEED EXTRACT FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

ASPERGILLUS/LACTOBACILLUS/APHANIZOMENON FLOS-AQUAE/RICE SEED EXTRACT FERMENT FILTRATE is a complex, multi-functional skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of blue-green algae and rice seeds using Aspergillus and Lactobacillus bacteria. This bioactive compound harnesses the power of fermentation to enhance the bioavailability and efficacy of its constituent components.

The ingredient offers a range of benefits for skin health and appearance. It contains antioxidants that help protect against free radical damage and environmental stressors. The fermentation process yields small molecular weight peptides and amino acids that can penetrate the skin barrier more effectively, promoting hydration and improving skin texture.

Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, a nutrient-rich blue-green algae, contributes vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients that support skin cell regeneration and overall skin health. Rice seed extract provides additional antioxidants and skin-brightening properties.

The fermentation filtrate also exhibits mild exfoliating properties, helping to remove dead skin cells and promote a more even skin tone. Additionally, it may have probiotic-like effects, potentially supporting the skin's microbiome and enhancing its natural defense mechanisms.

This ingredient is suitable for various skincare formulations, including serums, moisturizers, and masks, targeting concerns such as aging, uneven skin tone, and dehydration.
