PHALLUS INDUSIATUS MYCELIUM/POLYGONUM MULTIFLORUM ROOT EXTRACT FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

PHALLUS INDUSIATUS MYCELIUM/POLYGONUM MULTIFLORUM ROOT EXTRACT FERMENT FILTRATE is an innovative skincare ingredient combining the potent properties of two distinct botanical extracts. Phallus indusiatus, also known as the bamboo fungus, contributes antioxidant and hydrating properties. Polygonum multiflorum, or fo-ti root, is renowned in traditional Chinese medicine for its anti-aging effects.

This fermented filtrate harnesses the power of both extracts through a biofermentation process, enhancing their bioavailability and efficacy. The resulting compound offers multiple benefits for skin health and appearance. It provides potent antioxidant protection, neutralizing free radicals and helping to prevent oxidative stress-induced damage. The ingredient demonstrates significant moisturizing capabilities, improving skin hydration and barrier function.

Additionally, it exhibits anti-aging properties, potentially reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while promoting a more even skin tone. The fermentation process may also yield beneficial enzymes and peptides that further support skin vitality. This multifaceted ingredient is suitable for various skincare formulations, including serums, creams, and masks, targeting concerns such as dryness, dullness, and premature aging.
