EUGLENA/OLEIC ACID FERMENT

Description

EUGLENA/OLEIC ACID FERMENT is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of Euglena gracilis, a unique microalgae, with oleic acid. This process enhances the bioavailability and efficacy of the algae's beneficial compounds. The fermentation breaks down complex molecules, making them more easily absorbed by the skin.

This ingredient is rich in essential fatty acids, particularly oleic acid, which helps to strengthen the skin barrier and improve moisture retention. It also contains beta-glucan, a powerful antioxidant that protects against environmental stressors and promotes skin repair. The fermentation process increases the concentration of paramylon, a unique polysaccharide found in Euglena, known for its anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties.

EUGLENA/OLEIC ACID FERMENT offers multiple benefits for skin and hair care formulations. It helps to hydrate and nourish the skin, reduce inflammation, and improve overall skin texture. In haircare, it can enhance hair strength, shine, and manageability. The ingredient is suitable for various product types, including serums, creams, and hair treatments. Its natural origin and sustainable production make it an attractive option for eco-conscious formulations.
