Description

Saccharomyces/Paecilomyces Japonica Mycelium/Panax Ginseng Root Ferment Filtrate is an extract derived from the fermentation of Panax ginseng root using a combination of Saccharomyces yeast and Paecilomyces japonica mycelium. This process enhances the bioavailability of the ginseng's beneficial compounds through fermentation, resulting in a filtrate that can offer a range of skin benefits.

Chemical Composition and Structure:

Active Components: Includes ginsenosides from Panax ginseng, as well as fermentation by-products such as enzymes, peptides, amino acids, and polysaccharides from Saccharomyces and Paecilomyces japonica.
Molecular Weight: Contains a range of molecular weights, including low and medium, facilitating deep penetration and efficacy in skincare.
Structure: The filtrate is composed of proteins, peptides, polysaccharides, and secondary metabolites, which are products of both the ginseng root and fermentation process.

Physical Properties:

Appearance: The filtrate is typically a clear or slightly turbid liquid, with color variations depending on concentration and specific fermentation conditions.
Odor: Mild, possibly earthy or slightly yeasty, reflective of the fermentation process.
Solubility: Fully soluble in water, allowing easy integration into aqueous cosmetic formulations.
pH: Generally neutral or slightly acidic, suitable for a wide range of skincare products.

Production Process:

Preparation: Panax ginseng roots are prepared and pretreated for fermentation.
Fermentation: The roots are fermented using Saccharomyces yeast and Paecilomyces japonica mycelium. This fermentation process enhances the extraction and bioactivity of ginseng's components.
Filtration: After fermentation, the mixture is filtered to isolate the liquid extract containing the active components.
Formulation: The filtrate is then used as an ingredient in various cosmetic products such as serums, lotions, and creams.

Applications:

Skincare Products: Utilized for its hydrating, anti-aging, and skin-soothing properties.
Cosmetic Formulations: Incorporated into a range of products, including serums, masks, and creams, to benefit from the synergistic effects of fermented ginseng and fungal metabolites.

Environmental and Safety Considerations:

Environmental Impact: The fermentation process is environmentally friendly, generating minimal waste and using sustainable practices.
Safety: Generally considered safe for use in cosmetics when used as intended. People with sensitivities or allergies 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.
