CANDIDA ALBICANS/FRITILLARIA VERTICILLATA BULB FERMENT EXTRACT

Description

Candida Albicans/Fritillaria Verticillata Bulb Ferment Extract is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of Fritillaria verticillata bulb by the yeast Candida albicans. This unique combination harnesses the power of biotechnology to create a potent extract with multiple benefits for the skin.

The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability of active compounds found in Fritillaria verticillata, a plant traditionally used in Asian medicine. These compounds include steroidal alkaloids, which have demonstrated anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The extract also contains metabolites produced during fermentation that may contribute to its efficacy.

Key benefits of this ingredient include improved skin hydration, enhanced barrier function, and potential anti-aging effects. It has been shown to stimulate the production of hyaluronic acid in skin cells, promoting moisture retention and plumpness. Additionally, the extract may help regulate sebum production, making it suitable for various skin types.

In formulations, Candida Albicans/Fritillaria Verticillata Bulb Ferment Extract is typically used at concentrations between 0.1% to 2%. It is compatible with a wide range of skincare ingredients and can be incorporated into serums, moisturizers, and other leave-on products.
