BIFIDOBACTERIUM/LACTOBACILLUS/STREPTOCOCCUS/PANAX NOTOGINSENG RHIZOME/ROOT EXTRACT FERMENT FILTRATE.

Valuable / ANTIOXIDANT, HUMECTANT, SKIN CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING - EMOLLIENT, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

A high-precision biotechnological ferment that fuses Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern probiotic science. By utilizing a triple-strain bacterial system to biotransform Panax Notoginseng, this filtrate delivers concentrated, bioavailable metabolites that reinforce the skin barrier and modulate inflammatory pathways.

Science

The fermentation process utilizes Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, and Streptococcus to enzymatically break down complex ginsenosides into smaller, highly active molecules like Compound K and Ginsenoside Rd. These metabolites downregulate NF-κB signaling to suppress pro-inflammatory cytokines while probiotic-derived postbiotics stimulate the synthesis of Type I collagen and hyaluronic acid, simultaneously balancing the cutaneous microbiome.

Key findings

  1. 01 Application at 2.0%-5.0% demonstrated significant suppression of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 cytokines alongside increased expression of essential barrier proteins filaggrin and involucrin.
  2. 02 In vivo testing at 3.0% concentration resulted in a 24% boost in hydration levels and a 15% reduction in trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) over a 28-day period.
  3. 03 Clinical observation noted visible improvements in skin luminosity and overall tone uniformity following consistent use.

Due to the prestige and cost associated with triple-strain fermented Panax Notoginseng, many formulations include it at 'label claim' levels (below 0.5%). However, clinical data suggests a minimum threshold of 2.0% is required to trigger significant barrier protein synthesis and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Stability

The extract is thermo-sensitive; exposure to temperatures exceeding 50°C may degrade bioactive metabolites. It should be incorporated during the cooling phase of production (below 40°C).
