PANTOEA VAGANS/APPLE JUICE/PRUNUS MUME FRUIT FERMENT EXTRACT FILTRATE

Description

PANTOEA VAGANS/APPLE JUICE/PRUNUS MUME FRUIT FERMENT EXTRACT FILTRATE is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of apple juice and Japanese apricot (Prunus mume) fruit by the bacterium Pantoea vagans. This unique fermentation process yields a potent blend of bioactive compounds, including organic acids, polyphenols, and enzymes.

The extract is rich in antioxidants, which help protect the skin from free radical damage and environmental stressors. It also contains natural alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) that gently exfoliate the skin, promoting cell turnover and improving skin texture. The presence of probiotics from the fermentation process may contribute to strengthening the skin's microbiome and enhancing its natural barrier function.

Studies suggest that this ferment extract has potential anti-inflammatory and skin-brightening properties, making it beneficial for addressing uneven skin tone and reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation. Its hydrating qualities can help improve skin moisture retention, leading to a more supple and plump complexion. The ingredient is suitable for various skin types and can be incorporated into serums, essences, or moisturizers for maximum efficacy.
