MONASCUS/TURMERIC ROOT/RICE BRAN FERMENT EXTRACT FILTRATE

Description

Monascus/Turmeric Root/Rice Bran Ferment Extract Filtrate is a innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of Monascus (red yeast rice), turmeric root, and rice bran. This potent blend harnesses the power of traditional Asian ingredients, combining their beneficial properties through a controlled fermentation process. The resulting filtrate is rich in bioactive compounds, including kojic acid, monacolin K, and curcuminoids.

This ingredient offers multiple benefits for skin health and appearance. It exhibits potent antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize free radicals and protect against environmental stressors. The filtrate also demonstrates skin-brightening effects, primarily due to the presence of kojic acid and curcuminoids, which can help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and promote a more even skin tone.

Additionally, this ferment extract filtrate possesses anti-inflammatory properties, potentially soothing irritated skin and reducing redness. Its composition may also support skin barrier function and hydration, contributing to overall skin health. The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability of active compounds, potentially increasing their efficacy when applied topically.
