CITRUS HYSTRIX FRUIT/SUCROSE FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

Citrus Hystrix Fruit/Sucrose Ferment Filtrate is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of Citrus hystrix, commonly known as kaffir lime, combined with sucrose. This bioactive compound is obtained through a controlled fermentation process, which enhances the natural properties of the fruit and creates new beneficial metabolites.

The filtrate is rich in antioxidants, particularly flavonoids and vitamin C, which help protect the skin from free radical damage and environmental stressors. It also contains alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) that gently exfoliate the skin, promoting cell turnover and improving skin texture. The fermentation process increases the bioavailability of these active compounds, allowing for better absorption and efficacy.

This ingredient exhibits antimicrobial properties, making it useful in formulations targeting acne-prone skin. It also has skin-brightening effects, helping to reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone. The hydrating properties of the ferment filtrate contribute to improved skin moisture retention and barrier function.

Citrus Hystrix Fruit/Sucrose Ferment Filtrate is suitable for various skincare formulations, including serums, moisturizers, and toners, offering multiple benefits in a single, naturally-derived ingredient.
