Description

Bacillus/Aristotelia Chilensis Fruit Extract Ferment Filtrates are derived from the fermentation of Aristotelia chilensis (maqui berry) fruit extract by Bacillus bacteria. This advanced bioferment provides enhanced skin benefits by combining the natural antioxidant properties of maqui berries with the probiotic benefits of Bacillus fermentation, leading to improved skin health and appearance.

Chemical Composition and Structure:

Bacillus/Aristotelia Chilensis Fruit Extract Ferment Filtrates contain:

Lactic Acid: Produced during fermentation, it helps in exfoliation and maintaining skin hydration.
Polyphenols: Includes anthocyanins and flavonoids from maqui berries, offering antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
Probiotic Components: From Bacillus fermentation, these may include peptides, vitamins, and other bioactive compounds that support skin microbiome health.
Fermentation By-products: Such as amino acids and organic acids that contribute to the extract’s skin conditioning properties.

Physical Properties:

Color: Pale to dark amber.
Consistency: Liquid to viscous.
Aroma: Mildly fruity or neutral, depending on the fermentation process.
Solubility: Soluble in water and compatible with aqueous formulations.

Production Process:

Preparation: Aristotelia chilensis fruit extract is prepared and inoculated with Bacillus bacteria.
Fermentation: The mixture is fermented under controlled conditions, allowing Bacillus bacteria to metabolize the fruit extract and produce beneficial by-products.
Filtration: The fermented mixture is filtered to remove solids and isolate the liquid filtrate.
Concentration: The filtrate may be concentrated to enhance the potency of active ingredients.
Quality Control: The final product is tested for stability, purity, and efficacy to ensure it meets cosmetic standards.

Applications:

Cosmetics: Utilized in skincare products like serums, creams, and masks for its antioxidant, hydrating, and skin-conditioning benefits. It improves skin texture, enhances radiance, and provides protective effects against environmental stressors.
Personal Care: Incorporated into products such as cleansers and toners to support the skin’s microbiome and improve overall skin health.
Medical Applications: May be used in topical treatments for sensitive or irritated skin to aid in skin barrier repair and support.
Environmental and Safety Considerations:

Bacillus/Aristotelia Chilensis Fruit Extract Ferment Filtrates are generally safe for use in cosmetics and personal care products. It is crucial to ensure that the fermentation process adheres to environmentally friendly practices and that the final product is tested for potential allergens or irritants. Sustainable sourcing and production methods help minimize environmental impact.

INCI Functions:


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.
