AUREOBASIDIUM PULLULANS/OLIVE OIL FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

Aureobasidium Pullulans/Olive Oil Ferment Filtrate is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of olive oil by the fungus Aureobasidium pullulans. This process creates a unique blend of bioactive compounds that offer multiple benefits for the skin.

The filtrate is rich in polysaccharides, particularly pullulan, which forms a protective film on the skin's surface. This film helps to lock in moisture, improve skin hydration, and enhance barrier function. Additionally, the fermentation process generates antioxidants that can protect the skin from free radical damage and environmental stressors.

The ingredient also contains natural moisturizing factors and fatty acids from the olive oil, which contribute to its emollient properties. These components help to soften and smooth the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Aureobasidium Pullulans/Olive Oil Ferment Filtrate has shown potential in supporting the skin's microbiome, promoting a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria on the skin's surface. This can lead to improved skin resilience and overall skin health.

In formulations, this ingredient is typically used at concentrations between 1-5% and is compatible with a wide range of cosmetic products, including serums, creams, and masks.
