Science
Mechanism of Action
The ingredient functions through a synergistic proteolytic and yeast-driven fermentation. Bacillus enzymes catalyze the breakdown of complex caviar proteins into bioavailable micro-peptides, while Monascus (Red Yeast) transforms rice bran into antioxidant-rich phenolic compounds like dimerumic acid. This process enhances the skin's uptake of B-complex vitamins, minerals, and omega fatty acids to stimulate cellular metabolism.
Research
Clinical Evidence
High confidence3%
Key findings
- 01 Technical evaluations demonstrate that a 3% inclusion rate correlates with a 25% increase in moisture retention over a 4-week period.
- 02 Comparative analysis shows that dual-fermentation significantly elevates the concentration of essential amino acids and antioxidant metabolites versus standard non-fermented extracts.
Transparency
Dusting Analysis
Due to the high cost of caviar-derived ingredients, this complex is frequently 'dusted' at sub-clinical levels (<1%) for marketing prestige. To achieve the 25% moisture retention benchmarks seen in Japanese technical studies, a minimum concentration of 2-3% is required.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
The filtrate is heat-sensitive and should be integrated during the cooling phase (below 45°C) to prevent the denaturation of bioactive peptides and nutrients.
Synergies
- Niacinamide
- Hyaluronic Acid
- Glycerin
- Panthenol
Conflicts
- Ethanol concentrations exceeding 20%
- Strong oxidizing agents
- Formulations with pH levels below 3.5
