MONASCUS/CORNUS OFFICINALIS FRUIT/RICE BRAN FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

MONASCUS/CORNUS OFFICINALIS FRUIT/RICE BRAN FERMENT FILTRATE is a innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of red yeast rice, Cornus officinalis fruit, and rice bran. This potent blend harnesses the power of traditional Asian botanicals and modern fermentation technology to deliver multiple skin benefits.

The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability and efficacy of the active compounds present in these natural ingredients. Monascus, or red yeast rice, contributes kojic acid and monacolin K, which have skin-brightening and antioxidant properties. Cornus officinalis fruit, known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, provides ursolic acid and loganin, supporting skin barrier function and reducing signs of aging. Rice bran ferment adds ceramides and gamma-oryzanol, improving skin hydration and protection against environmental stressors.

This filtrate demonstrates significant potential in addressing various skin concerns, including hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and uneven texture. Its ability to promote collagen synthesis and inhibit melanin production makes it particularly effective in anti-aging and skin-brightening formulations. The fermentation process also yields probiotics and postbiotics, which can help balance the skin microbiome and strengthen overall skin health.
