BACILLUS/MONASCUS/PSOPHOCARPUS TETRAGONOLOBUS SEED FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

Bacillus/Monascus/Psophocarpus tetragonolobus seed ferment filtrate is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of winged bean seeds using Bacillus and Monascus microorganisms. This complex ferment filtrate offers a unique blend of bioactive compounds that can provide multiple benefits for the skin.

The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability of nutrients and creates new metabolites with potential skin-improving properties. Key components may include peptides, amino acids, vitamins, and antioxidants. These elements work synergistically to support skin health and appearance.

This ingredient has demonstrated potential for improving skin hydration, enhancing barrier function, and providing antioxidant protection against environmental stressors. It may also help to balance the skin microbiome, promoting a healthier skin ecosystem. Some studies suggest it could have mild anti-inflammatory and brightening effects.

The filtrate is typically well-tolerated by most skin types and can be incorporated into various skincare formulations, including serums, essences, and moisturizers. Its natural origin and fermentation-derived benefits make it an attractive option for formulators seeking multifunctional, bio-based ingredients for advanced skincare products.
