Description

Phellinus Baumii Mycelium/Panax Ginseng Root Ferment Extract Filtrate is a cosmetic ingredient obtained from the fermentation of Panax ginseng root using the mycelium of Phellinus baumii. This extract is valued for its bioactive compounds resulting from the fermentation process, which can offer various skincare benefits.

Chemical Composition and Structure:

Active Components: Includes ginsenosides, polysaccharides, proteins, peptides, and other 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 fermentation products.
Structure: Comprises soluble proteins, peptides, polysaccharides, and other metabolites in liquid form, often containing organic acids and beneficial fermentation metabolites.

Physical Properties:

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

Production Process:

Fermentation: Panax ginseng roots are subjected to a fermentation process involving Phellinus baumii mycelium. This process breaks down root 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 further purification to enhance stability and remove potential 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:

Skincare Products: Used in various formulations to provide benefits such as enhanced hydration, soothing effects, and anti-aging properties.
Cosmetic Formulations: Included in serums, creams, and masks to take advantage of the bioactive components and by-products of fermentation.

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 amounts 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 very 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.
