PAECILOMYCES JAPONICA/PANAX GINSENG ROOT FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

PAECILOMYCES JAPONICA/PANAX GINSENG ROOT FERMENT FILTRATE is an innovative skincare ingredient that combines the power of fermentation with traditional Asian botanicals. This complex is derived from the fermentation of Paecilomyces japonica, a beneficial fungus, with Panax ginseng root extract. The fermentation process breaks down the ginseng compounds into smaller, more easily absorbed molecules, enhancing their bioavailability and efficacy.

This ingredient is rich in bioactive compounds, including polysaccharides, flavonoids, and saponins, which contribute to its multifaceted skincare benefits. It exhibits potent antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize free radicals and protect the skin from oxidative stress. The ferment filtrate has been shown to improve skin hydration, boost collagen production, and enhance skin elasticity.

Additionally, it possesses anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe irritated skin and reduce redness. The ingredient has demonstrated potential in improving skin barrier function, which is crucial for maintaining healthy, resilient skin. Some studies suggest it may also have mild brightening effects, helping to even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation. Its gentle yet effective nature makes it suitable for various skin types, including sensitive skin.
