ASPERGILLUS/SACCHAROMYCES/MORUS ALBA FRUIT/RICE FERMENT LEES EXTRACT

Description

Aspergillus/Saccharomyces/Morus Alba Fruit/Rice Ferment Lees Extract is a complex, multi-functional ingredient derived from the fermentation process of rice and mulberry fruit using Aspergillus and Saccharomyces yeasts. This potent extract combines the benefits of traditional Asian fermentation techniques with modern skincare science.

The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability of nutrients and produces beneficial compounds such as amino acids, peptides, and organic acids. These components contribute to improved skin hydration, brightening, and overall skin health. The extract is rich in antioxidants, which help protect the skin from free radical damage and environmental stressors.

Aspergillus and Saccharomyces yeasts are known for their ability to break down complex molecules into smaller, more easily absorbed components. This process allows for better penetration of active ingredients into the skin. The inclusion of Morus Alba (white mulberry) fruit extract provides additional brightening properties due to its natural content of arbutin, a known tyrosinase inhibitor.

Rice ferment lees, a byproduct of sake production, contributes to the extract's moisturizing and skin-smoothing effects. This ingredient is particularly beneficial for addressing concerns such as uneven skin tone, dullness, and dehydration.
