CRYPTOCOCCUS/HUMUS FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

Cryptococcus/Humus Ferment Filtrate is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation process of Cryptococcus yeast and humus, a component of soil rich in organic matter. This unique combination harnesses the power of natural fermentation to create a potent extract with multiple benefits for the skin.

The filtrate is rich in beta-glucans, a type of polysaccharide known for its skin-soothing and hydrating properties. It also contains various vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that can nourish and revitalize the skin. The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability of these nutrients, allowing for better absorption and utilization by the skin.

Key benefits of Cryptococcus/Humus Ferment Filtrate include improved skin hydration, enhanced barrier function, and potential anti-aging effects. It may help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by promoting collagen production and improving skin elasticity. Additionally, this ingredient has shown promise in supporting the skin's natural microbiome, which can contribute to overall skin health and resilience.

When formulating with this ingredient, it is typically used in concentrations ranging from 0.5% to 5%, depending on the specific product and desired effects.
