PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA/CARAPA GUIANENSIS SEEDCAKE FERMENT FILTRATE

Description

Pseudomonas Aeruginosa/Carapa Guianensis Seedcake Ferment Filtrate is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of Carapa guianensis (Andiroba) seed cake by the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This unique combination harnesses the benefits of both microbial fermentation and the nutrient-rich Andiroba seed.

The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability of active compounds, including flavonoids, terpenes, and fatty acids naturally present in Andiroba seeds. These components contribute to the ingredient's anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and skin-soothing properties. The filtrate is rich in enzymes and peptides produced during fermentation, which may aid in skin barrier function and hydration.

Studies suggest that this ingredient may help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture, and promote a more even skin tone. Its antimicrobial properties, derived from both the Pseudomonas aeruginosa metabolites and Andiroba seed compounds, may assist in managing acne-prone skin.

When formulating with this ingredient, it is typically used in concentrations of 0.1% to 2% in various skincare products, including serums, moisturizers, and anti-aging formulations. As with any new skincare ingredient, patch testing is recommended to ensure compatibility with individual skin types.
