LENTINUS EDODES/LICORICE ROOT EXTRACT FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

Lentinus Edodes/Licorice Root Extract Ferment Filtrate is an innovative skincare ingredient that combines the potent properties of shiitake mushroom (Lentinus edodes) and licorice root through a fermentation process. This bioactive compound harnesses the synergistic effects of these two powerful botanical extracts, resulting in a multifunctional ingredient with significant skin benefits.

The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability and efficacy of the active compounds, including polysaccharides, beta-glucans, and glycyrrhizin. This filtrate exhibits strong antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize free radicals and protect the skin from oxidative stress. It also demonstrates anti-inflammatory effects, potentially soothing irritated skin and reducing redness.

The ingredient has shown promise in improving skin hydration and barrier function, contributing to a more resilient and moisturized complexion. Additionally, it may help in regulating melanin production, addressing hyperpigmentation concerns. The ferment filtrate's gentle exfoliating properties can promote cell turnover, leading to improved skin texture and tone.

Clinical studies have indicated its potential in supporting collagen synthesis, which may contribute to improved skin elasticity and reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
