MONASCUS/HIPPOPHAE RHAMNOIDES FRUIT/SOYBEAN EXTRACT FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

MONASCUS/HIPPOPHAE RHAMNOIDES FRUIT/SOYBEAN EXTRACT FERMENT FILTRATE is a complex, bioactive ingredient derived from the fermentation of red yeast rice (Monascus), sea buckthorn fruit (Hippophae rhamnoides), and soybeans. This unique combination harnesses the power of fermentation to enhance the bioavailability and efficacy of its components for skincare applications.

The fermentation process breaks down larger molecules into smaller, more easily absorbed compounds, while also producing beneficial metabolites. Monascus contributes natural pigments and antioxidants, while sea buckthorn fruit provides a rich source of vitamins C and E, carotenoids, and fatty acids. Soybean extract adds isoflavones and proteins that support skin health.

This filtrate offers multiple benefits for the skin, including improved hydration, enhanced collagen production, and protection against environmental stressors. Its antioxidant properties help neutralize free radicals, potentially reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The ingredient also exhibits anti-inflammatory effects, making it suitable for sensitive or irritated skin.

When incorporated into skincare formulations, this ferment filtrate can contribute to a more radiant, youthful-looking complexion while supporting the skin's natural barrier function.
