Description

Lactobacillus/Panax Ginseng Berry/Leaf/Root Extract Ferment is a fermented ingredient obtained from the combination of Panax ginseng berries, leaves, and roots, and Lactobacillus bacteria. This extract is produced through a fermentation process where the Lactobacillus bacteria ferment the plant materials, enhancing the bioavailability and efficacy of the active compounds. The inclusion of Panax ginseng, known for its adaptogenic and revitalizing properties, combined with Lactobacillus, supports the development of a potent bioactive ingredient.

Chemical Composition and Structure:

Active Components: The extract contains various ginsenosides from the ginseng, including Rb1, Rb2, Rc, and other related saponins. Fermentation also introduces beneficial metabolites produced by the Lactobacillus bacteria.
Molecular Weight: Components vary from small molecules and peptides to larger polysaccharides, depending on the extent of fermentation.
Structure: Includes complex carbohydrates (e.g., polysaccharides and beta-glucans) and saponins, with potential additional bioactive compounds produced during fermentation.

Physical Properties:

Appearance: Typically a brownish to amber liquid. The exact color may vary depending on the concentration and specific formulation.
Odor: May have a characteristic fermented or earthy odor due to the fermentation process and the plant extracts used.
Solubility: Soluble in water and aqueous solutions.
pH: Usually neutral or slightly acidic, depending on the fermentation process and formulation specifics.

Production Process:

Fermentation: Panax ginseng berries, leaves, and roots are combined with Lactobacillus bacteria and subjected to fermentation. This process helps to break down complex compounds into more bioavailable forms.
Filtration: After fermentation, the mixture is filtered to remove solid residues, resulting in a clear filtrate that contains concentrated bioactive compounds.
Purification and Concentration: The filtrate may be further purified to remove impurities and concentrated to enhance its efficacy in cosmetic formulations.

Applications:

Skin Care: This extract is used for its potential benefits in enhancing skin vitality, providing antioxidant protection, and supporting skin hydration. It may also help in improving skin texture and appearance.
Cosmetic Products: Incorporated into various skincare products such as serums, creams, and masks aimed at revitalizing and improving the overall health of the skin.

Environmental and Safety Considerations:

Environmental Impact: Sustainable sourcing of raw materials and eco-friendly fermentation processes are recommended to minimize environmental impact.
Safety: Generally considered safe for use in cosmetics. However, individuals with specific plant allergies or highly sensitive skin should exercise caution and consult product labels before use.

INCI:


Hair conditioning agent. A significant number of ingredients with specific and targeted purposes may co-exist in hair shampoo formulations: cleansers, conditioners, thickeners, matting agents, sequestering agents, fragrances, preservatives, special additives. However, the indispensable ingredients are the cleansers and conditioners as they are necessary and sufficient for hair cleansing and manageability. The others act as commercial and non-essential auxiliaries such as: appearance, fragrance, colouring, etc. Hair conditioning agents have the task of increasing shine, manageability and volume, and reducing static electricity, especially after treatments such as colouring, ironing, waving, drying and brushing. They are, in practice, dispersants that may contain cationic surfactants, thickeners, emollients, polymers. The typology of hair conditioning agents includes: intensive conditioners, instant conditioners, thickening conditioners, drying conditioners. They can perform their task generally accompanied by other different ingredients.

Skin conditioning agent. It is the mainstay of topical skin treatment as it has the function of restoring, increasing or improving skin tolerance to external factors, including melanocyte tolerance. The most important function of the conditioning agent is to prevent skin dehydration, but the subject is rather complex and involves emollients and humectants that can be added in the formulation.
