KAZACHSTANIA/CITRUS JUNOS FRUIT EXTRACT FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

Kazachstania/Citrus Junos Fruit Extract Ferment Filtrate is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of yuzu fruit (Citrus junos) by Kazachstania yeast. This bioactive compound harnesses the power of fermentation to enhance the natural benefits of yuzu, a citrus fruit native to East Asia.

The fermentation process breaks down the yuzu fruit's complex molecules into smaller, more easily absorbed compounds. This results in a potent extract rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and organic acids. The filtrate is particularly high in vitamin C, flavonoids, and limonene, which contribute to its skin-brightening and protective properties.

Key benefits of this ingredient include:
1. Antioxidant protection against free radical damage
2. Skin brightening and evening of skin tone
3. Gentle exfoliation through natural alpha-hydroxy acids
4. Hydration and moisture retention
5. Potential anti-inflammatory effects

The ferment filtrate is suitable for various skincare formulations, including serums, essences, and moisturizers. It is particularly beneficial for addressing concerns such as dullness, uneven skin tone, and environmental stress. As with any active ingredient, patch testing is recommended before widespread use to ensure skin compatibility.
