Science
Mechanism of Action
By utilizing a triple-fermentation process (Aspergillus, Lactobacillus, and Saccharomyces), complex rice proteins are predigested into low-molecular-weight peptides and amino acids for superior penetration. The resulting filtrate is rich in ferulic acid and gamma-tocotrienols, which inhibit tyrosinase activity to suppress melanin synthesis while stimulating collagen production and reinforcing the cutaneous microbiome.

Key findings
- 01 Clinical trials utilizing a 20% dilution demonstrated a 44.31% increase in hydration and a 9.29% improvement in skin brightness over 30 days.
- 02 In vitro testing confirmed antioxidant capacity, with free radical scavenging reaching 71.4% of the efficacy seen in Vitamin C.
- 03 Optimal peptide delivery and soothing benefits are consistently observed at concentrations between 1% and 3%.

Dusting Analysis
While many brands use ferments as 'story' ingredients, this specific filtrate requires at least 1% for peptide-driven soothing and 5% for measurable brightening; levels below 0.5% are likely marketing-driven.
