OXIDIZED ALPINIA ZERUMBET STEM FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

Oxidized Alpinia Zerumbet Stem Ferment Filtrate is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermented stem extract of Alpinia zerumbet, also known as shell ginger. This plant, native to East Asia, has been traditionally used for its medicinal properties. The fermentation process, followed by oxidation, enhances the bioavailability and efficacy of the active compounds present in the stem.

This ingredient is rich in polyphenols, particularly kaempferol and quercetin, which exhibit potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds help protect the skin from oxidative stress and environmental damage. The fermentation process also yields probiotics and postbiotics that support the skin's microbiome, promoting overall skin health and barrier function.

Oxidized Alpinia Zerumbet Stem Ferment Filtrate has shown promise in improving skin hydration, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and enhancing skin elasticity. Its anti-inflammatory properties may help soothe sensitive or irritated skin. Additionally, preliminary studies suggest potential benefits in regulating sebum production, making it a versatile ingredient for various skin types and concerns.
