PAECILOMYCES JAPONICA MYCELIUM/POLYGONUM MULTIFLORUM ROOT FERMENT EXTRACT FILTRATE

Description

PAECILOMYCES JAPONICA MYCELIUM/POLYGONUM MULTIFLORUM ROOT FERMENT EXTRACT FILTRATE is a novel ingredient in skincare, combining the fermentation products of two potent natural sources. Paecilomyces japonica, a fungus known for its bioactive compounds, is fermented alongside Polygonum multiflorum root, a traditional Chinese medicinal herb renowned for its anti-aging properties.

This ferment extract filtrate is rich in enzymes, peptides, and antioxidants produced during the fermentation process. These bioactive components work synergistically to enhance skin health and appearance. The ingredient demonstrates significant free radical scavenging activity, helping to protect skin cells from oxidative stress and environmental damage.

Studies have shown that this extract can stimulate collagen production, improving skin elasticity and firmness. It also exhibits melanin-inhibiting properties, potentially aiding in the reduction of hyperpigmentation and promoting a more even skin tone. The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability of active compounds, allowing for better skin penetration and efficacy.

Additionally, this ingredient has shown moisturizing capabilities, helping to maintain skin hydration and improve barrier function. Its gentle nature makes it suitable for various skin types, including sensitive skin.
