Description

Saccharomyces/Boswellia Serrata Gum Ferment Extract is obtained through the fermentation of Boswellia serrata gum using Saccharomyces yeast. This fermentation process enhances the extract with bioactive metabolites that can improve its cosmetic properties.

Chemical Composition and Structure:

Chemical Constituents:
Boswellic Acids: Active compounds found in Boswellia gum, such as beta-boswellic acid and acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid (AKBA), which have anti-inflammatory properties.
Yeast Metabolites: Products from the Saccharomyces yeast fermentation, which may include peptides, amino acids, and other bioactive substances.
Phenolic Compounds and Flavonoids: Provide antioxidant and soothing effects.
Structure: Composed of water and a blend of active ingredients derived from Boswellia gum and yeast metabolites.

Physical Properties:

Appearance: Clear, slightly viscous liquid.
Odor: Light, characteristic of Boswellia gum with fermented notes.
Solubility: Fully miscible with water.
Consistency: Slightly viscous, denser than water.

Production Process:

Fermentation: Boswellia serrata gum is fermented with Saccharomyces yeast. During fermentation, the yeast metabolizes the gum components, resulting in an enriched extract.
Filtration and Purification: The fermented extract is filtered to remove impurities, resulting in a clear and well-balanced liquid.

Applications:

Cosmetics: Used in skincare products for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and soothing properties. It can help improve skin texture and reduce redness and irritation.
Moisturizers and Toners: Ideal for use in serums, creams, and lotions for both face and body.

Safety and Environmental Considerations:

Safety: Generally considered safe for use in cosmetics and personal care products when used as directed. Individuals with sensitive skin or allergies to plant substances or yeasts should use it with caution.
Environmental Impact: The fermentation process is typically sustainable, utilizing natural fermentation and renewable resources.

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.
