Description

Saccharomyces/Panax Ginseng Adventitious Root Oil Ferment Filtrate Extract is a filtrate derived from the fermentation of adventitious roots of Panax ginseng using the yeast Saccharomyces. This extract combines the beneficial properties of both the ginseng root and the fermentation process.

Chemical Composition and Structure:

Active Components: Contains a blend of ginsenosides, fatty acids from the ginseng root oil, and fermentation byproducts. Fermentation introduces additional metabolites, which can enhance the extract's efficacy.
Molecular Weight: Varies, including larger ginsenosides and smaller fermentation byproducts.
Structure: A complex mixture of ginsenosides, fatty acids, and other bioactive compounds, benefiting from both the root's properties and the fermentation process.

Physical Properties:

Appearance: Typically a clear to slightly yellow liquid, which may vary depending on the concentration and specific formulation.
Odor: Mild, potentially with subtle fermented notes depending on the extent of fermentation.
Solubility: Soluble in oils and compatible with various cosmetic formulations that include lipid-based ingredients.
pH: Generally neutral to slightly acidic, making it suitable for incorporation into diverse cosmetic products.

Production Process:

Preparation: The adventitious roots of Panax ginseng are prepared and treated with Saccharomyces yeast for fermentation.
Fermentation: The roots are fermented with Saccharomyces, allowing the yeast to break down complex molecules and produce beneficial metabolites.
Filtration: The fermented mixture is filtered to remove solid residues, leaving behind the filtrate that contains the active compounds.
Formulation: The filtrate is then incorporated into cosmetic products to enhance their effectiveness.

Applications:

Skincare Products: Used for its moisturizing, nourishing, and anti-aging properties.
Cosmetic Formulations: Suitable for inclusion in serums, creams, and lotions where the benefits of ginseng and fermentation are desired.

Environmental and Safety Considerations:

Environmental Impact: The fermentation process is typically sustainable and efficient, with minimal waste.
Safety: Generally considered safe for cosmetic use. Those with allergies to ginseng or yeast should perform a patch test before use.

INCI:


Skin conditioning agent - Emollient. Emollients have the characteristic of enhancing the skin barrier through a source of exogenous lipids that adhere to the skin, improving barrier properties by filling gaps in intercorneocyte clusters to improve hydration while protecting against inflammation. In practice, they have the ability to create a barrier that prevents transepidermal water loss. Emollients are described as degreasing or refreshing additives that improve the lipid content of the upper layers of the skin by preventing degreasing and drying of the skin. The problem with emollients is that many have a strong lipophilic character and are identified as occlusive ingredients; they are oily and fatty materials that remain on the skin surface and reduce transepidermal water loss. In cosmetics, emollients and moisturisers are often considered synonymous with humectants and occlusives.

Emulsion stabiliser. Emulsions are thermodynamically unstable. Emulsion stabilisers improve the formation and stability of single and double emulsions. as well as their shelf-life. It should be noted that in the structure-function relationship, the molar mass of the ingredient used plays an important role.

Humectant. Hygroscopic compound used to minimise water loss in the skin and to prevent it from drying out by facilitating faster and greater absorption of water into the stratum corneum of the epidermis. The epidermis is the most superficial of the three layers that make up human skin (epidermis, dermis and hypodermis) and is the layer that maintains hydration in all three layers. In turn, the epidermis is composed of five layers: horny, the most superficial, granular, spinous, shiny, and basal. Humectants have the ability to retain the water they attract from the air in the stratum corneum and have the function of moisturising the skin. They are best used before emollients, which are oil-based.

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.

Skin protectant. It creates a protective barrier on the skin to defend it from harmful substances, irritants, allergens, pathogens that can cause various inflammatory conditions. These products can also improve the natural skin barrier and in most cases more than one is needed to achieve an effective result.
