PICHIA/OSAJIN FERMENT EXTRACT

Description

Pichia/Osajin Ferment Extract is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of Pichia yeast with osajin, a potent isoflavone found in Maclura pomifera (Osage orange) fruit. This unique combination harnesses the power of biotechnology to enhance the bioavailability and efficacy of osajin's beneficial properties.

The fermentation process breaks down the complex molecular structure of osajin, creating smaller, more easily absorbed compounds. These compounds exhibit powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which help protect the skin from environmental stressors and reduce signs of aging. The extract also demonstrates potential in improving skin barrier function and promoting collagen synthesis.

Studies have shown that Pichia/Osajin Ferment Extract may help to even skin tone, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve overall skin texture. Its gentle nature makes it suitable for various skin types, including sensitive skin. The ingredient is often incorporated into serums, moisturizers, and anti-aging formulations due to its multifaceted benefits.

As with any new skincare ingredient, it is recommended to perform a patch test before incorporating products containing Pichia/Osajin Ferment Extract into a regular skincare routine.
