GRIFOLA FRONDOSA /(PANAX GINSENG/REHMANNIA GLUTINOSA/GLYCYRRHIZA URALENSIS/ANGELICA GIGAS/OPHIOPOGON JAPONICUS/ATRACTYLODES MACROCEPHALA/ASTRAGALUS MEMBRANACEUS) ROOT/ RICE SEED/CITRUS UNSHIU PEEL/CARTHAMUS TINCTORIUS SEED OIL FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

This complex botanical blend combines potent extracts from Eastern traditional medicine with modern fermentation techniques to create a multifunctional skincare ingredient. At its core is Grifola frondosa, a mushroom known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The root extracts of Panax ginseng, Rehmannia glutinosa, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Angelica gigas, Ophiopogon japonicus, Atractylodes macrocephala, and Astragalus membranaceus contribute various skin-beneficial compounds, including saponins, flavonoids, and polysaccharides.

Rice seed extract provides moisturizing and brightening effects, while Citrus unshiu peel offers vitamin C and antioxidants. The inclusion of Carthamus tinctorius (safflower) seed oil ferment filtrate enhances the overall formulation with fatty acids and additional antioxidants. The fermentation process increases the bioavailability of active compounds and potentially enhances their efficacy.

This ingredient combination aims to address multiple skin concerns simultaneously, including hydration, barrier function support, antioxidant protection, and overall skin tone improvement. Its diverse composition makes it suitable for various skin types and may be particularly beneficial in anti-aging and skin-revitalizing formulations.
