Science
Mechanism of Action
This dual-fermentation process employs Aspergillus to dismantle complex polysaccharides into alpha-hydroxy acids and kojic acid, while Saccharomyces converts these substrates into essential amino acids and B-vitamins. The resulting filtrate mimics the skin's Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) while providing mild enzymatic resurfacing via natural proteases.

Key findings
- 01 Simultaneous fermentation significantly increases polyphenol bioavailability compared to standard extracts, leading to measurable improvements in hydration and barrier recovery.
Transparency
Dusting Analysis
Due to its long INCI name and marketing appeal as a 'superfruit blend,' it is often used at trace levels (below 1.0%) which fails to trigger the enzymatic and hydrating benefits observed in clinical data.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Thermolabile; must be processed during the cool-down phase below 40°C to preserve enzymatic activity. Stable in aqueous systems within a pH range of 3.5 to 7.5.
Synergies
- Hyaluronic acid
- Niacinamide
- Panthenol
Conflicts
- High ethanol concentrations
- Strong oxidizers
- Extreme pH environments
