Science
Mechanism of Action
PEDIOCOCCUS/DIOSPYROS KAKI FRUIT FERMENT FILTRATE functions through its dual components. The Diospyros kaki (persimmon) extract is rich in potent antioxidants like carotenoids, proanthocyanidins, gallic acid, and various phenolic compounds and vitamins. These compounds provide anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, and photo-protective properties, while also demonstrating anti-wrinkle effects by inhibiting key enzymes such as tyrosinase, elastase, and collagenase. This contributes to skin brightening, reduced sebum production, and minimized pore appearance. Concurrently, the Pediococcus ferment, specifically from strains like Pediococcus acidilactici, actively breaks down synthesized melanin and impedes its formation, leading to significant skin brightening and enhanced moisture content.
