Description

Aspergillus/Lindera Strychnifolia Leaf/Rice Ferment Filtrate is a complex extract derived from the fermentation of rice grains (Oryza sativa) and the leaves of Lindera strychnifolia (Lauraceae,) by the microorganism Aspergillus. This filtrate is used in cosmetic formulations for its potential benefits in enhancing skin hydration, improving skin texture, and providing antioxidant properties.

Chemical Composition and Structure:

Active Compounds: The filtrate contains a range of bioactive molecules, including fermentation by-products, peptides, amino acids, and antioxidants derived from the rice and Lindera leaves.
Molecular Weight: Varies depending on the specific fermentation by-products and bioactive compounds present.
Structure: The extract comprises a mixture of organic compounds resulting from the fermentation process, including peptides, amino acids, and other metabolites.

Physical Properties:

Appearance: Typically a clear to slightly opaque liquid.
Odor: May have a mild, earthy, or slightly sweet odor, characteristic of fermented products.
Solubility: Soluble in water and compatible with a range of cosmetic solvents.
pH: Generally neutral to slightly acidic, depending on the formulation.

Production Process:

Fermentation: Rice grains (Oryza sativa) and the leaves of Lindera strychnifolia are fermented using the microorganism Aspergillus.
Filtration: The fermentation mixture is filtered to remove solid residues, resulting in a clear liquid filtrate.
Purification: The filtrate may undergo additional purification steps to concentrate beneficial compounds and ensure product stability.
Formulation: The purified filtrate is incorporated into cosmetic products such as serums, creams, and lotions.

Applications:

Skin Care: Used in cosmetic formulations to enhance skin hydration, improve skin texture, and provide antioxidant benefits.
Cosmetic Products: Included in a variety of skincare products for its potential benefits on skin appearance and health.

Environmental and Safety Considerations:

Environmental Impact: Sustainable and responsible sourcing of raw materials should be ensured to minimize environmental impact.
Safety: This ingredient is generally regarded as safe for use in cosmetics and personal care products when used as directed. Individuals allergic to specific plants or with very sensitive skin should be cautious.

INCI:


Skin conditioning agent - Humectant. Humectants are hygroscopic substances 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 the 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: corneum, the most superficial, lucidum, granulosum, spinosum and basale. Humectants have the ability to retain in the stratum corneum the water they attract from the air and have the function of moisturising the skin. It is better to use them before emollients that are oil-based.

Skin conditioning agent - Miscellaneous. This ingredient has the task of modifying and improving the condition of the skin when it is damaged or dry, reducing flaking and restoring its elasticity.
