ASPERGILLUS/MALUS DOMESTICA FRUIT/RICE SEED FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

ASPERGILLUS/MALUS DOMESTICA FRUIT/RICE SEED FERMENT FILTRATE is a innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of apple fruit and rice seed by Aspergillus, a genus of mold. This complex ingredient harnesses the power of natural fermentation to produce a potent blend of beneficial compounds for the skin.

The fermentation process breaks down the apple and rice components into smaller, more easily absorbed molecules, enhancing their bioavailability and efficacy. This filtrate is rich in alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), particularly malic acid from apples, which gently exfoliates the skin and promotes cell turnover. It also contains amino acids, vitamins, and antioxidants that help protect the skin from environmental stressors and support its natural barrier function.

The rice seed component contributes to the ingredient's moisturizing properties, helping to hydrate and soften the skin. Additionally, the fermentation byproducts of Aspergillus may include enzymes and other bioactive compounds that can further enhance skin health and appearance.

This ingredient is suitable for various skincare formulations, including serums, essences, and moisturizers, particularly those targeting skin brightening, hydration, and overall skin health improvement.
