(ASPERGILLUS/SACCHAROMYCES)/RICE FERMENT/BARLEY GRAIN MEAL/NELUMBO NUCIFERA FLOWER EXTRACT FERMENT EXTRACT FILTRATE

Description

(Aspergillus/Saccharomyces)/Rice Ferment/Barley Grain Meal/Nelumbo Nucifera Flower Extract Ferment Extract Filtrate is a complex, biofermented skincare ingredient that harnesses the power of traditional Asian fermentation techniques. This multi-component extract combines the benefits of fermented rice, barley, and lotus flower, processed using Aspergillus and Saccharomyces yeasts. The fermentation process breaks down large molecules into smaller, more easily absorbed compounds, enhancing the bioavailability of nutrients and active components.

This ingredient is rich in antioxidants, amino acids, and various bioactive compounds that contribute to skin health. It offers moisturizing properties, helps to improve skin texture, and may assist in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The presence of lotus flower extract adds anti-inflammatory and soothing benefits, potentially aiding in calming sensitive or irritated skin.

The filtrate's composition includes natural alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) produced during fermentation, which can provide gentle exfoliation and promote cell turnover. Additionally, the fermentation process generates probiotics and postbiotics that may support the skin's microbiome, contributing to overall skin health and resilience. This ingredient is particularly suitable for formulations targeting skin brightening, hydration, and anti-aging effects.
