BACILLUS/MONASCUS/GERMINATED LEONTOPODIUM ALPINUM ROOT/RICE BRAN FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

BACILLUS/MONASCUS/GERMINATED LEONTOPODIUM ALPINUM ROOT/RICE BRAN FERMENT FILTRATE is a complex, multi-component ingredient derived from the fermentation of various botanical and microbial sources. This innovative compound combines the benefits of probiotic fermentation with plant-based extracts to create a potent skincare active.

The ingredient utilizes Bacillus and Monascus, beneficial bacteria known for their fermentation capabilities, to process germinated Leontopodium alpinum (Edelweiss) root and rice bran. This fermentation process enhances the bioavailability and efficacy of the natural compounds present in these botanicals.

Key benefits of this ingredient include antioxidant protection, skin barrier support, and potential anti-aging effects. The fermentation filtrate is rich in amino acids, peptides, and other bioactive compounds that can help improve skin hydration, texture, and overall appearance.

Leontopodium alpinum, an alpine plant known for its resilience in harsh environments, contributes unique phytochemicals that may offer protective benefits against environmental stressors. Rice bran, a nutrient-dense byproduct of rice processing, provides additional skin-nourishing compounds.

This ferment filtrate is suitable for various skincare formulations, including serums, essences, and moisturizers, targeting concerns such as fine lines, uneven skin tone, and loss of firmness.
