Description

Lactobacillus/Paecilomyces Japonica Mycelium/Panax Ginseng Root Ferment Filtrate is a cosmetic ingredient derived from the fermentation of Panax ginseng root, using Lactobacillus bacteria and Paecilomyces japonica mycelium. This filtrate is valued for its bioactive compounds resulting from the fermentation process, which can be beneficial for skin care.

Chemical Composition and Structure:

Active Components: Includes ginsenosides, polysaccharides, proteins, peptides, and various fermentation by-products. These components contribute to moisturizing, soothing, and anti-aging effects.
Molecular Weight: Varies, with a range of low to medium molecular weight compounds, reflecting the complexity of the fermentation products.
Structure: Consists of soluble proteins, peptides, polysaccharides, and other metabolites in a liquid form, often containing organic acids and beneficial ferment metabolites.

Physical Properties:

Appearance: Typically a clear to slightly turbid liquid, depending on concentration and formulation.
Odor: Generally mild or neutral, with a subtle fermented or earthy note.
Solubility: Water-soluble.
pH: Usually slightly acidic to neutral, consistent with the characteristics of fermented products.

Production Process:

Fermentation: Panax ginseng roots are subjected to a fermentation process involving Lactobacillus bacteria and Paecilomyces japonica mycelium. This process breaks down the root's components into more bioavailable forms and produces additional beneficial metabolites.
Filtration: The fermentation mixture is filtered to remove solid residues, resulting in a concentrated liquid containing the active fermentation products.
Purification: The filtrate may undergo additional purification to enhance stability and remove any impurities.
Formulation: The purified filtrate is incorporated into cosmetic formulations such as serums, creams, and masks to leverage the benefits of the fermentation products.

Applications:

Skin Care Products: Used in various skin care formulations to provide benefits such as improved hydration, soothing effects, and anti-aging properties.
Cosmetic Formulations: Included in serums, creams, and masks to take advantage of the bioactive compounds and fermentation by-products.

Environmental and Safety Considerations:

Environmental Impact: The fermentation process can be more environmentally friendly compared to traditional extraction methods, potentially reducing the need for large quantities of raw materials and energy.
Safety: This ingredient is generally considered safe for use in cosmetics and personal care products when used as directed. Individuals 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.
