PAECILOMYCES JAPONICA/RUMEX COREANUS ROOT FERMENT EXTRACT FILTRATE

Description

Paecilomyces japonica/Rumex coreanus root ferment extract filtrate is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of Paecilomyces japonica fungus and Rumex coreanus (Korean raspberry) root. This unique combination harnesses the power of fermentation to enhance the bioavailability and efficacy of the active compounds.

The extract is rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, and antioxidants, which contribute to its potent anti-aging and skin-protective properties. It has been shown to inhibit tyrosinase activity, potentially reducing melanin production and helping to even out skin tone. Additionally, the fermentation process produces beneficial enzymes and peptides that may improve skin barrier function and promote collagen synthesis.

Studies suggest that this ingredient exhibits anti-inflammatory effects, making it suitable for sensitive and reactive skin types. Its hydrating properties help maintain skin moisture levels, while its antioxidant content aids in protecting the skin from environmental stressors and free radical damage.

The filtrate is typically used in serums, essences, and moisturizers at concentrations ranging from 0.1% to 5%, depending on the formulation and desired effects. Its lightweight texture and compatibility with various skincare formulations make it a versatile ingredient for addressing multiple skin concerns.
