Science
Mechanism of Action
Through Bacillus-mediated fermentation, complex botanical polysaccharides and flavonoids are broken down into low-molecular-weight compounds for superior dermal penetration. Volcanic scoria acts as a mineral catalyst, enriching the final filtrate with essential ions like Magnesium, Calcium, and Zinc which fortify the skin barrier, while the resulting bio-active metabolites inhibit tyrosinase activity to modulate melanin production.
Research
Clinical Evidence
High confidence3%
Key findings
- 01 Clinical evaluations of the Polygonatum Odoratum extract complex at 3.0% concentration demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in fine lines alongside measurable improvements in skin luminosity and deep-tissue hydration.
- 02 Technical assessments of the VolcanEX fermentation series indicate that concentrations between 1.0% and 5.0% provide optimal anti-inflammatory and regenerative benefits without triggering cellular stress.
Transparency
Dusting Analysis
Because fermented extracts often appear impressive on ingredient labels, they are frequently used at 'claim levels' below 0.5%. However, clinical data suggests a minimum of 1.0% is required to activate its mineral-transport and brightening properties.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Thermolabile; must be integrated during the cooling phase (below 40°C) to preserve the integrity of the fermentation-derived metabolites.
Synergies
