BACILLUS/MONASCUS/VANDA COERULEA CALLUS/RICE BRAN FERMENT FILTRATE.

Valuable / ANTI-SEBUM, SKIN CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING - EMOLLIENT

A sophisticated biotechnological complex that fuses Blue Vanda orchid callus with nutrient-dense rice bran through dual-stage microbial fermentation. This process creates a bioavailable filtrate rich in stilbenoids and organic acids designed to regulate sebum and provide photo-protective support.

Anti-sebum Antioxidant Skin-Conditioning Microbiome Support Photo-protection

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions via a multi-pathway approach: it inhibits 5-alpha reductase to decrease sebocyte lipogenesis, suppresses matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) to prevent collagen breakdown, and delivers postbiotic metabolites that reinforce the skin's microbiome and barrier integrity.

Key findings

  1. 01 Clinical evaluation of the PhytoG-AntiSebum technology showed a 25-35% reduction in skin surface sebum after 28 days of consistent application.
  2. 02 In-vitro research indicates stilbenoids from Vanda coerulea callus inhibit UVB-induced COX-2 and pro-MMP-1, offering significant anti-inflammatory and anti-aging benefits.
