ASPERGILLUS/SACCHAROMYCES RICE FERMENT LEES

Description

Aspergillus/Saccharomyces Rice Ferment Lees is a powerful skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation process of rice using Aspergillus and Saccharomyces yeasts. This bioactive compound is rich in amino acids, peptides, and enzymes that offer multiple benefits for the skin.

The fermentation process breaks down complex molecules in rice, creating smaller, more easily absorbed compounds. These include kojic acid, a natural skin-brightening agent that helps reduce hyperpigmentation and even out skin tone. The ingredient also contains antioxidants that protect the skin from free radical damage and environmental stressors.

Aspergillus/Saccharomyces Rice Ferment Lees has hydrating properties, helping to improve skin moisture retention and barrier function. It may also promote collagen production, contributing to improved skin elasticity and firmness. The ingredient has mild exfoliating properties, gently removing dead skin cells to reveal a smoother, more radiant complexion.

This fermented rice extract is suitable for various skin types and can be incorporated into serums, moisturizers, and masks. It is particularly beneficial for addressing dull, uneven skin tone, fine lines, and dehydration.
