Science
Mechanism of Action
Utilizes enzymatic breakdown to produce low-molecular-weight peptides and amino acids that mimic the skin's Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF). It delivers high concentrations of glucosylceramides to repair the lipid barrier and anthocyanin-rich polyphenols to neutralize oxidative stress and prevent lipid peroxidation.

Key findings
- 01 Statistically significant reduction in transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and upregulation of barrier-related protein synthesis.
- 02 Observed reduction in inflammatory markers and enhanced resilience in subjects with hyper-sensitive skin profiles.

Dusting Analysis
Because it is a ferment filtrate, it is often included at negligible levels (under 0.5%) for 'storytelling' purposes. Moumoujus identifies a threshold of 1.0% to achieve measurable barrier protein synthesis.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Thermally stable up to 50°C; however, integration during the cool-down phase is recommended to maintain the bio-activity of delicate peptides.
Synergies
- Ceramides
- Hyaluronic Acid
- Niacinamide
Conflicts
- Strong oxidizing agents
- High-concentration ethanol (>20%)
- Anionic surfactants in high loads
Safety
Safety Profile
While the composite is not yet CIR-reviewed, the individual Saccharomyces and Aspergillus ferments are established as safe; EU CosIng lists it as a safe humectant.
