(ASPERGILLYUS/SACCHAROMYCES)/RICE FERMENT/BARLEY GRAIN MEAL/NELUMBO NUCIFERA FLOWER EXTRACT FERMENT EXTRACT FILTRATE.

Insufficient Data / BLEACHING

This sophisticated complex integrates fermented extracts from rice, barley grain, and Nelumbo nucifera flower, processed with *Aspergillus* and *Saccharomyces* microorganisms. It is engineered to deeply hydrate, nourish, and fortify the skin barrier, while actively stimulating collagen production and enhancing elasticity. The ingredient further supports skin regeneration, balances the microflora, and provides robust antioxidant protection against environmental stressors.

Science

Mechanism of Action

This multi-component ferment acts by delivering a rich profile of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids essential for deep dermal hydration and robust barrier integrity. Key fermented components stimulate cellular renewal and collagen synthesis, visibly improving skin elasticity and mitigating the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also contributes to harmonizing the skin's microbial environment and provides potent antioxidant defense. Functioning as a humectant, it efficiently draws and retains moisture, while its regenerative properties promote cell growth and repair, offering anti-aging benefits and contributing to skin brightening.

Stability

This ingredient, composed of fermented filtrates and aqueous extracts, is generally water-soluble. A specific 'Rice Power® extract' (Y30), obtained via fermentation with *Aspergillus oryzae* and *Saccharomyces cerevisiae*, exhibited a pH of 6.50. However, an optimal pH range for the stability of this complete complex has not been specifically identified. It is not recommended for use as a fragrance or flavor.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Insufficient data
Sensitization risk Unknown

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel issued a Tentative Report in March 2025, concluding 'insufficient data' to determine the safety of all 14 *Nelumbo nucifera*-derived ingredients, including 'Nelumbo Nucifera Flower Extract' which is part of this complex. This 'insufficient data' status for a key component takes precedence for the overall complex ingredient, despite 'Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate' having an excellent and generally safe profile for cosmetic use.

Verdict

Insufficient Data

While individual components demonstrate promising benefits for hydration, anti-aging, and skin barrier support, a comprehensive safety determination for the entire complex is currently pending due to insufficient regulatory data for the *Nelumbo nucifera* component.
