Science
Mechanism of Action
This synergistic filtrate operates through three primary modes of action: microbial breakdown of botanical and protein structures into low-molecular-weight peptides for enhanced penetration, stimulation of dermal fibroblasts to synthesize Type I collagen and GAGs, and the introduction of sialic acids that emulate epidermal growth factor (EGF) activity to catalyze cellular turnover.

Key findings
- 01 Aspergillus-mediated fermentation of Centella Asiatica yielded a 250% increase in active triterpenoids, significantly boosting collagen synthesis over non-fermented counterparts.
- 02 A 2.0% concentration of the Swiftlet Nest component demonstrated measurable improvements in epidermal growth factor expression, resulting in enhanced skin elasticity and moisture retention within 28 days.
Transparency
Dusting Analysis
Due to the prestige and cost of Swiftlet Nest and fermented Cica, brands often include this at trace levels (below 0.5%) for marketing claims. A minimum of 1.0% is required to trigger the documented regenerative benefits.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
The ingredient is naturally self-stabilizing in slightly acidic environments due to the fermentation process. It is thermolabile and must be incorporated during the cooling phase at temperatures below 40°C.
Synergies
- Hyaluronic Acid
- Niacinamide
- Peptides
Conflicts
- Strong oxidizing agents
- Highly alkaline solutions (pH > 8.0)
