ASPERGILLUS/GELATIN/RICE FERMENT FILTRATE.

Valuable / ANTIOXIDANT, BLEACHING, SKIN CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING - EMOLLIENT

A sophisticated biotechnological active that combines fungal fermentation with plant and protein substrates to deliver a multi-layered approach to skin rejuvenation. By utilizing Aspergillus to process rice and gelatin, this filtrate provides a nutrient-dense cocktail of bio-available peptides and organic acids that target both structural integrity and surface radiance.

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates through a dual-pathway fermentation process. Aspergillus fungi break down rice to produce kojic acid for enzymatic brightening and B-vitamins for barrier support. Simultaneously, the fermentation of gelatin liberates small-molecule peptides and amino acids that function as Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMFs) and signaling molecules, stimulating the production of Type I and Type III collagen and elastin within the extracellular matrix.

Key findings

  1. 01 In vitro analysis confirms that a 1.25% concentration significantly enhances hydration, while a 3% concentration is required to maximize mRNA expression of collagen and elastin genes.
  2. 02 Technical data indicates that similar fermented rice extracts provide up to 45% free radical scavenging capacity and visible reduction in hyperpigmentation via tyrosinase inhibition.
