Description

Bifida/Panax Ginseng Root Cell Culture Extract Ferment Filtrate is a cosmetic ingredient derived from the fermentation of Panax ginseng root cell cultures using Bifida microorganisms. This extract is valued for its complex blend of metabolites that are produced during fermentation, which can provide various skin benefits.

Chemical Composition and Structure:

Active Components: Includes a range of bioactive compounds such as ginsenosides, polysaccharides, peptides, and other fermentation by-products. These components are known for their potential hydrating, soothing, and anti-aging effects.
Molecular Weight: The filtrate contains compounds of varying molecular weights, including low and medium molecular weight substances that are indicative of the fermentation process.
Structure: Consists of soluble proteins, peptides, polysaccharides, and other fermentation metabolites in a liquid form, often containing organic acids and beneficial metabolic by-products.

Physical Properties:

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

Production Process:

Fermentation: Panax ginseng root cell cultures are fermented using Bifida microorganisms. This process breaks down the 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 impurities.
Formulation: The purified filtrate is incorporated into cosmetic formulations such as serums, creams, and masks to leverage the benefits of the fermentation components.

Applications:

Skin Care 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 utilize the bioactive components and fermentation by-products for skin care.

Environmental and Safety Considerations:

Environmental Impact: The fermentation process can be more eco-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 very sensitive skin should exercise caution.

INCI:


Antimicrobial agent. This ingredient is able to suppress or inhibit the growth and replication of a broad spectrum of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and viruses by making the stratum corneum temporarily bactericidal and fungicidal.

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.

Nail Conditioning agent. It is an agent that creates protection against harmful or chemical substances by strengthening the nail structure against external elements and can repair any chipping, cracking or brittle nails. It helps keep the nail's outer layer and keratin protein in good condition. It can also prevent cracking and peeling of the nail.

Oral care agent. This ingredient can be placed in the oral cavity to improve and/or maintain oral hygiene and health, to prevent or improve a disorder of the teeth, gums, mucous membrane. It provides cosmetic effects to the oral cavity as a protector, cleanser, deodorant.

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.
