Description
PSEUDOZYMA EPICOLA/SOYBEAN FLOUR/APRICOT KERNEL OIL/OLIVE FRUIT OIL/SUNFLOWER SEED OIL/SWEET ALMOND OIL/LEONURUS SIBIRICUS EXTRACT FERMENT EXTRACT FILTRATE is a complex, biofermented ingredient that combines the benefits of multiple plant-based oils and extracts. This innovative formulation utilizes Pseudozyma epicola, a yeast species, to ferment a blend of nutrient-rich components, resulting in a potent skincare active.
The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability and efficacy of the natural ingredients. Soybean flour provides amino acids and isoflavones, while the blend of apricot kernel, olive fruit, sunflower seed, and sweet almond oils delivers a rich array of fatty acids and vitamins. These oils contribute to skin hydration, barrier function improvement, and antioxidant protection.
Leonurus sibiricus (motherwort) extract adds anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties to the mix. The fermentation extract filtrate is likely to contain beneficial metabolites, enzymes, and peptides produced during the fermentation process.
This ingredient may offer multiple skin benefits, including moisturization, antioxidant protection, and potential anti-aging effects. It is suitable for various skincare formulations, particularly those targeting hydration, nourishment, and overall skin health improvement.
