KAZACHSTANIA/CORNUS OFFICINALIS FRUIT EXTRACT FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

Kazachstania/Cornus officinalis fruit extract ferment filtrate is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of Cornus officinalis fruit by Kazachstania yeast. This process enhances the bioavailability and efficacy of the fruit's natural compounds. Cornus officinalis, also known as Japanese cornel dogwood, has been used in traditional medicine for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

The fermentation process by Kazachstania yeast breaks down complex molecules into smaller, more easily absorbed compounds. This results in a filtrate rich in beneficial metabolites, including organic acids, peptides, and polyphenols. These components work synergistically to provide multiple skin benefits, such as improved hydration, enhanced barrier function, and protection against environmental stressors.

Key attributes of this ingredient include its ability to boost skin radiance, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and promote a more even skin tone. It also exhibits potent antioxidant activity, helping to neutralize free radicals and mitigate oxidative stress. The ferment filtrate is well-tolerated by most skin types and can be incorporated into various skincare formulations, including serums, essences, and moisturizers. Its lightweight texture and compatibility with other active ingredients make it a versatile addition to modern skincare routines.
