LACTOBACILLUS/SACCHAROMYCES/POLYGONATUM SIBIRICUM RHIZOME FERMENT EXTRACT

Description

Lactobacillus/Saccharomyces/Polygonatum Sibiricum Rhizome Ferment Extract is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of Polygonatum sibiricum rhizome using Lactobacillus and Saccharomyces microorganisms. This unique fermentation process enhances the bioavailability and efficacy of the active compounds found in the Polygonatum sibiricum plant, also known as Siberian Solomon's Seal.

The extract is rich in polysaccharides, saponins, and flavonoids, which contribute to its various skin benefits. It demonstrates potent antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize free radicals and protect the skin from oxidative stress. The ingredient also exhibits anti-inflammatory effects, potentially reducing redness and irritation associated with sensitive or compromised skin.

Furthermore, this ferment extract has shown promise in improving skin hydration and barrier function. It may help to increase the production of hyaluronic acid in the skin, leading to enhanced moisture retention and a plumper appearance. The extract also supports collagen synthesis, contributing to improved skin elasticity and firmness over time.

In formulations, this ingredient is typically used at concentrations between 0.1% to 5%, depending on the desired effect and product type.
