Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient functions as a cellular bio-optimizer by delivering high concentrations of Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) and amino acids to the skin. It protects mitochondrial efficiency and supports NAD+ precursors to maintain cellular energy levels, while simultaneously inhibiting matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) that break down collagen and reinforcing the Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) for enhanced barrier integrity.
Research
Clinical Evidence
High confidence2%
Key findings
- 01 Clinical evaluation of Chlorella-derived ferments demonstrated significant improvements in dermal hydration and barrier resilience at 1-2% concentrations.
- 02 In-vitro analysis confirmed that the fermentation process with Sodium Glutamate maximizes GABA levels, providing a soothing effect and protecting mitochondrial health against oxidative stress.

Dusting Analysis
Because it is a complex ferment with high-performance claims, many products include it at 'label-claim' levels (below 1%) to capitalize on the name. At Moumoujus, we consider levels below 1.0% to be insufficient for delivering the documented mitochondrial and antioxidant benefits.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Heat sensitive; must be incorporated during the cooling phase (below 40°C) of production to maintain the integrity of the bioactive ferments.
Synergies
- NAD+ precursors
- L-Ascorbic Acid
- Peptides
Conflicts
- High concentrations of ethanol
- Strong oxidizing agents
Safety
Safety Profile
While the specific ferment is a newer biotech innovation, its parent components (Chlorella and Sodium Glutamate) have long-standing safety records in both food and cosmetic applications.
