Description

Lactobacillus/Panax Ginseng Root Ferment Filtrate is an extract obtained through the fermentation of Panax ginseng root with the probiotic microorganism Lactobacillus. This fermentation process produces a filtrate rich in bioactive compounds beneficial for skin health.

Chemical Composition and Structure:

Active Components: Includes ginsenosides, amino acids, peptides, vitamins, and metabolites produced during the fermentation process. These compounds are known for their hydrating, soothing, and anti-aging properties.
Molecular Weight: Varies based on the specific bioactive compounds present; includes a range of low to medium molecular weight substances.
Structure: Comprises a mixture of soluble proteins, peptides, and other metabolites in a liquid form, often including polysaccharides and organic acids.

Physical Properties:

Appearance: Typically a clear to slightly cloudy liquid, depending on the concentration and formulation.
Odor: Generally neutral or slightly earthy, characteristic of the fermentation process.
Solubility: Soluble in aqueous solutions.
pH: Typically ranges from slightly acidic to neutral, reflecting the fermentation process.

Production Process:

Fermentation: Panax ginseng root is fermented with Lactobacillus bacteria in a controlled environment. This process promotes the breakdown of ginseng compounds into more bioavailable forms and the production of additional beneficial metabolites.
Filtration: After fermentation, the mixture is filtered to remove solid residues and concentrate the liquid filtrate containing the active compounds.
Purification: The filtrate may undergo further purification to enhance stability and remove any remaining impurities.
Formulation: The purified filtrate is incorporated into cosmetic formulations, such as serums, creams, and lotions, designed to deliver the benefits of the fermented ingredients to the skin.

Applications:

Skincare Products: Used in various skincare products to provide benefits such as improved hydration, soothing effects, and anti-aging properties.
Cosmetic Formulations: Incorporated into creams, serums, and masks to utilize the probiotic fermentation benefits and ginseng's active compounds.

Environmental and Safety Considerations:

Environmental Impact: The fermentation process can be more sustainable compared to traditional extraction methods, as it may require less plant material and energy.
Safety: This ingredient is generally considered safe for use in cosmetics and personal care products when used according to instructions. People with allergies to ginseng or sensitive skin should exercise caution.

INCI:


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.
