Science
Mechanism of Action
This filtrate functions as a biological messenger. Its low-molecular-weight peptides bind directly to fibroblast receptors, triggering the natural production of Type I collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Simultaneously, the fermentation process generates antioxidant metabolites that defend the skin matrix from oxidative stress while providing intense humectancy.

Key findings
- 01 A 12-week clinical study observed significant increases in skin elasticity and hydration, alongside a measurable decrease in wrinkle depth.
- 02 Comparative research indicates that this fermented form achieves superior skin penetration and firming effects over conventional hydrolyzed collagen.

Dusting Analysis
Because it is an expensive fermented active, many brands include it at 'label claim' levels (under 1%). Our data suggests that concentrations of 2.5% to 5.0% are required to achieve the clinically validated structural improvements in skin elasticity.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Highly stable in water-based formulas within a slightly acidic pH range. It is thermolabile and must be incorporated during the cool-down phase below 40°C to maintain peptide integrity.
Synergies
- Vitamin C
- Peptides
- Hyaluronic Acid
Conflicts
- Strong oxidizers
- High heat (>60°C)
- Extreme pH levels
- High concentrations of anionic surfactants
Safety
Safety Profile
Recognized as safe by the CIR Expert Panel. The use of food-grade Koji mold (Aspergillus) ensures a high safety profile for topical application.
