Description

Lactobacillus/Leaf/Panax Ginseng Sprout Ferment Extract Filtrate is a cosmetic ingredient derived from the fermentation of Panax ginseng sprouts using Lactobacillus bacteria. This filtrate combines the bioactive components of ginseng sprouts with the benefits of fermentation, resulting in an extract that is utilized for its potential skin benefits.

Chemical Composition and Structure:

Active Components: The extract contains various bioactive compounds including ginsenosides, polysaccharides, peptides, and fermented metabolites. Fermentation enhances the bioavailability of these compounds.
Molecular Weight: The fermentation process breaks down larger molecules into smaller, more bioavailable forms.
Structure: The extract is composed of a mixture of bioactive substances and metabolites resulting from the fermentation of ginseng sprouts by Lactobacillus.

Physical Properties:

Appearance: Typically a clear to slightly opaque liquid or gel with a pale color.
Odor: Mild, slightly fermented or earthy scent.
Solubility: Soluble in water and aqueous solutions.
pH: Usually neutral to slightly acidic, depending on the fermentation conditions and formulation.

Production Process:

Fermentation: Panax ginseng sprouts are subjected to fermentation using Lactobacillus bacteria. This process transforms the sprouts’ compounds into more effective and bioavailable forms.
Filtration: The fermented mixture is filtered to remove any insoluble materials, resulting in a clear filtrate.
Concentration and Stabilization: The filtrate is concentrated and stabilized to maintain its efficacy and shelf-life in cosmetic formulations.

Applications:

Skin Care: Used in skincare products for its potential to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and overall health. It may also have soothing and anti-aging properties.
Cosmetic Products: Incorporated into serums, creams, and masks designed to provide rejuvenating and moisturizing effects.

Environmental and Safety Considerations:

Environmental Impact: Sustainable practices should be considered during the cultivation of ginseng and the fermentation process to minimize environmental impact.
Safety: Generally considered safe for cosmetic use. People allergic to plants or with very sensitive skin should be cautious.

INCI:


Antioxidant agent. Ingredient that counteracts oxidative stress and prevents cell damage. Free radicals, pathological inflammatory processes, reactive nitrogen species and reactive oxygen species are responsible for the ageing process and many diseases caused by oxidation.

Humectant. Hygroscopic compound used to minimise water loss in the skin and to prevent it from drying out by facilitating faster and greater absorption of water into the stratum corneum of the epidermis. The epidermis is the most superficial of the three layers that make up human skin (epidermis, dermis and hypodermis) and is the layer that maintains hydration in all three layers. In turn, the epidermis is composed of five layers: horny, the most superficial, granular, spinous, shiny, and basal. Humectants have the ability to retain the water they attract from the air in the stratum corneum and have the function of moisturising the skin. They are best used before emollients, which are oil-based.

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.
