BIFIDA/PAECILOMYCES JAPONICA MYCELIUM/PANAX GINSENG ROOT FERMENT FILTRATE.

Valuable CAS - / SKIN CONDITIONING

A sophisticated biotechnological complex that subjects Panax Ginseng to a multi-stage fermentation process using probiotic Bifida and medicinal fungal mycelium. This bioconversion transforms traditional herbal extracts into a highly bioavailable filtrate enriched with specific metabolites that outperform standard ginseng in efficacy.

Summary

Skin conditioning Antioxidant Skin protecting Anti-aging Brightening

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates via microbial biotransformation, where large, low-permeability ginsenosides are enzymatically broken down into small-molecule metabolites like Compound K (C-K). These bio-active metabolites penetrate the skin barrier to stimulate collagen synthesis and inhibit Matrix Metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), preventing the degradation of the dermal matrix while the probiotic fraction supports microbiome diversity and barrier resilience.

Key findings

  1. 01 Clinical trials at 10% concentration demonstrate significantly higher tyrosinase and elastase inhibition compared to non-fermented red ginseng, marking superior performance in whitening and anti-wrinkle metrics.
  2. 02 Research indicates that 1-5% concentrations effectively enhance skin elasticity and accelerate barrier recovery through the presence of bioconverted ginsenosides.

0.5%

Due to its high cost and the prestige associated with 'Ginseng Ferment,' this ingredient is frequently included in formulations at symbolic levels (<0.5%). However, clinical data suggests a minimum of 1% is required for barrier benefits, and 10% for maximum enzyme inhibition.

Stability

The filtrate is heat-sensitive and must be incorporated during the cool-down phase of manufacturing (under 40°C) to prevent the degradation of bioactive metabolites.
