PHIALOPHORA PARASITICA/AQUILARIA AGALLOCHA WOOD FERMENT POWDER.

Insufficient Data / FRAGRANCE

This ingredient is a finely processed ferment derived from Aquilaria agallocha wood, commonly known as agarwood, through enzymatic conversion by microorganisms such as Phialophora parasitica. In skincare formulations, its primary application is to impart a unique fragrance.

Summary

Science

Mechanism of Action

Its principal action in cosmetic products is to enhance the olfactory profile, perfuming both the product itself and the skin. While the raw agarwood material is recognized for containing bioactive compounds like flavonoids and sesquiterpenes, which exhibit reported antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, the specific cutaneous mechanisms of action for this fermented powder beyond its aromatic contribution remain largely undelineated in current research.
