PSEUDOZYMA EPICOLA/MACADAMIA SEED OIL FERMENT EXTRACT FILTRATE

Description

PSEUDOZYMA EPICOLA/MACADAMIA SEED OIL FERMENT EXTRACT FILTRATE is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of macadamia seed oil using the yeast Pseudozyma epicola. This unique process enhances the bioavailability and efficacy of the oil's beneficial compounds. The resulting filtrate is rich in antioxidants, fatty acids, and bioactive molecules that offer multiple skin benefits.

The ingredient demonstrates potent anti-inflammatory properties, helping to soothe irritated skin and reduce redness. It also exhibits strong moisturizing capabilities, improving skin hydration and reinforcing the skin barrier function. The fermentation process increases the production of ceramides, which are crucial for maintaining skin integrity and preventing moisture loss.

Furthermore, this filtrate has shown promising results in promoting collagen synthesis, potentially improving skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines. Its antioxidant content helps protect the skin from environmental stressors and free radical damage. The lightweight texture of the ingredient allows for easy absorption without leaving a greasy residue, making it suitable for various skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin.
