BACILLUS/CHRYSANTHEMUM ZAWADSKII EXTRACT FERMENT FILTRATE.

Valuable / SKIN CONDITIONING

A bio-transformed botanical active produced by fermenting Siberian Chrysanthemum with Bacillus bacteria to maximize the bioavailability of antioxidant polyphenols. This precision ingredient combines traditional herbal medicine with modern biotechnology to target both structural aging and pigment regulation.

Science

This filtrate operates through a triple-action pathway: it inhibits tyrosinase enzymes to disrupt melanin production, suppresses MMP-1 collagenase to preserve the dermal matrix, and delivers probiotic-derived organic acids and peptides that fortify the skin's microbiome and barrier resilience.

Key findings

  1. 01 In vitro analysis confirms significant tyrosinase inhibition and reduced melanin content in B16F10 cells at concentrations between 1-5%.
  2. 02 Patent data (WO2017171480A1) demonstrates MMP-1 inhibition at 0.1-2.0%, effectively reducing collagen breakdown.
  3. 03 Comparative research shows Bacillus fermentation significantly increases levels of linarin and chlorogenic acid for superior radical scavenging compared to standard extracts.
