ASPERGILLUS/RHINACANTHUS NASUTUS LEAF/RICE FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

ASPERGILLUS/RHINACANTHUS NASUTUS LEAF/RICE FERMENT FILTRATE is a complex skincare ingredient combining natural extracts with fermentation technology. This filtrate is derived from the fermentation of Rhinacanthus nasutus leaf and rice using Aspergillus, a genus of mold. Rhinacanthus nasutus, also known as Snake Jasmine, is a plant traditionally used in Asian medicine for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The fermentation process by Aspergillus enhances the bioavailability and efficacy of the active compounds present in the leaf and rice.

This ingredient offers multiple benefits for skin health and appearance. It possesses potent antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize free radicals and protect skin from environmental stressors. The filtrate may also exhibit skin-brightening effects, potentially reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation and promoting a more even skin tone. Additionally, it has moisturizing properties that can help improve skin hydration and barrier function. Some studies suggest that fermented rice extracts may have anti-aging effects, potentially reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. However, more research is needed to fully elucidate the specific mechanisms and long-term effects of this complex ingredient in skincare formulations.
