LACTOBACILLUS/RICE BRAN/SACCHAROMYCES/CAMELLIA SINENSIS LEAF EXTRACT FERMENT

Description

Lactobacillus/Rice Bran/Saccharomyces/Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract Ferment is a complex, multi-functional skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of rice bran and green tea leaves using beneficial microorganisms. This fermented extract combines the nutritional benefits of rice bran with the antioxidant properties of green tea, enhanced through the fermentation process.

The fermentation by Lactobacillus and Saccharomyces yeasts breaks down the raw materials into smaller, more easily absorbed molecules, potentially increasing their bioavailability and efficacy. This process also generates beneficial metabolites such as organic acids and enzymes.

Key benefits of this ingredient include potent antioxidant activity, which helps protect the skin from free radical damage and environmental stressors. It may also offer hydrating and brightening effects, contributing to improved skin texture and tone. The fermented extract can support the skin's natural barrier function and may have anti-inflammatory properties.

In formulations, this ingredient is typically used at concentrations between 0.5% to 5%, depending on the desired effect and product type. It is compatible with a wide range of skincare formulations and can be incorporated into serums, essences, moisturizers, and masks.
