Science
Mechanism of Action
This filtrate utilizes a symbiotic fermentation process where Bacillus bacteria hydrolyze Sacha Inchi proteins into small-chain peptides while Monascus yeast releases potent antioxidants like ferulic acid from rice bran. This synergy enhances the bioavailability of organic acids and nutrients, allowing them to neutralize reactive oxygen species and inhibit MMP-1 enzymes which degrade collagen.

Key findings
- 01 Supplier data indicates that a 2% concentration significantly mitigates oxidative stress via DPPH radical scavenging and provides measurable protection against photo-aging markers.
- 02 In vivo applications at 5% demonstrate enhanced antimicrobial activity against surface pathogens and a marked reduction in inflammation for sensitized skin profiles.
Transparency
Dusting Analysis
Because this is a complex ferment with high raw material costs, brands often list it at 'claim' levels (below 0.5%). For meaningful barrier repair and antioxidant protection, clinical data suggests a minimum of 2% is required.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Thermally sensitive; bioactivity may degrade if exposed to temperatures exceeding 40°C. Best incorporated during the cool-down phase of production.
Synergies
- Niacinamide
- Hyaluronic Acid
