Description

Aspergillus/Coffee Seed/Rice Ferment Filtrate is a biofermented ingredient derived from the fermentation of Coffea arabica seeds and rice, using the microorganism Aspergillus. This filtrate combines the benefits of fermented coffee seed extract and rice extract, leveraging the enzymatic activity of Aspergillus to enhance the formulation's efficacy in various cosmetic products.

Chemical Composition and Structure

Fermentation Components: The filtrate contains bioactive compounds resulting from the fermentation process, including peptides, amino acids, and various antioxidants.
Aspergillus Enzymes: Enzymes produced by Aspergillus during fermentation contribute to the breakdown of complex compounds into more bioavailable forms.

Physical Properties

Appearance: Typically a clear to light brown liquid.
Odor: Mild, characteristic of fermented products.
Solubility: Soluble in water-based formulations.
Texture: Light and easily absorbed into the skin.
Production Process

Fermentation: Coffea arabica seeds and rice are fermented using Aspergillus strains.
Filtration: The resulting fermentation mixture is filtered to obtain the liquid filtrate.
Concentration: The filtrate may be concentrated to enhance its potency.
Packaging: The final filtrate is packaged under sterile conditions to preserve its efficacy.

Applications

Cosmetic: Used in skincare products for its moisturizing, antioxidant, and anti-aging properties. Commonly found in creams, serums, and masks.
Pharmaceutical: May be used in topical treatments for its skin-beneficial properties.
Food: Not typically used in food products.

Environmental and Safety Considerations

Biodegradability: The filtrate is designed to be environmentally friendly and biodegradable.
Toxicity: Generally regarded as safe for topical application. It should be used according to established guidelines to avoid potential allergic reactions or skin irritations. People with allergies or very sensitive skin should be cautious. Ensure that the ingredient is sustainably sourced and free from harmful contaminants.
Disposal: Should be disposed of in accordance with local environmental regulations to minimize its impact on the environment.

INCI Functions:


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.
