Science
Mechanism of Action
Endomyces/Sodium Hyaluronate Ferment Filtrate operates by leveraging the inherent capabilities of Sodium Hyaluronate, a potent humectant known to attract and retain significant moisture, up to 1000 times its weight. The fermentation process, carried out by Endomyces fungi, is designed to reduce the molecular size of the Sodium Hyaluronate, potentially improving its penetration and compatibility with the skin. This leads to enhanced hydration, a visible reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improved skin elasticity, and contributes to anti-inflammatory effects.

Stability
This ferment filtrate maintains optimal stability and efficacy within a pH range of 6.5 to 7.5, consistent with the conditions suitable for hyaluronic acid production. It is generally water-soluble, facilitating its integration into aqueous formulations.
Safety
Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has deemed hyaluronates, including Sodium Hyaluronate (a primary component), safe for cosmetic use at concentrations up to 7.5% in leave-on products. While many yeast-derived ingredients (such as Endomyces) have also been reviewed as safe by CIR, this specific combined ingredient, ENDOMYCES/SODIUM HYALURONATE FERMENT FILTRATE, is considered a 'new ingredient' and has not yet received a specific, separate safety rating by industry sources or the SCCS.
