PANTOEA AGGLOMERANS/WHEAT FLOUR FERMENT EXTRACT

Description

PANTOEA AGGLOMERANS/WHEAT FLOUR FERMENT EXTRACT is an innovative bioactive ingredient derived from the fermentation of wheat flour by the bacterium Pantoea agglomerans. This fermentation process yields a potent extract rich in beneficial compounds for skincare applications.

The extract contains a complex mixture of peptides, amino acids, and polysaccharides that contribute to its skin-enhancing properties. It has been shown to improve skin hydration by increasing the production of hyaluronic acid and other natural moisturizing factors within the skin. Additionally, the extract exhibits antioxidant properties, helping to protect the skin from oxidative stress and environmental damage.

Studies have demonstrated that this ferment extract can stimulate collagen synthesis, promoting skin firmness and elasticity. It also has anti-inflammatory effects, making it suitable for sensitive or irritated skin conditions. The ingredient has been found to enhance the skin's barrier function, reducing transepidermal water loss and improving overall skin health.

In formulations, PANTOEA AGGLOMERANS/WHEAT FLOUR FERMENT EXTRACT is typically used at concentrations between 1-5% and is compatible with a wide range of skincare products, including serums, creams, and masks.
