Science
Mechanism of Action
The fermentation process, orchestrated by Saccharomyces, enhances the bioavailability of beneficial compounds and generates new active molecules from the botanical constituents. Cornus Officinalis fruit contributes potent anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and anti-apoptotic properties, enriching the extract with polyphenols and iridoid glycosides. Rehmannia Glutinosa root further supplies antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging effects, aiding in skin calm and mitigating factors that trigger irritation, potentially addressing visible signs of aging linked to hormonal shifts. Overall, the mechanism involves accelerated cell renewal, improved skin texture, enhanced moisturization, and optimized penetration of actives, leading to comprehensive skin regeneration.

Fermented extracts generally exhibit stability across typical cosmetic pH ranges. While specific optimal pH data for this precise blend is not available, similar ferment filtrates typically show stability within a pH range of 4.0 to 6.0.
Safety
Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not specifically evaluated this exact complex ingredient. However, related ingredient categories, such as yeast-derived ingredients (Saccharomyces species) and other ferment filtrates (e.g., Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate), have been reviewed, with some showing non-sensitizing properties at dilutions up to 10%. The 'Generally Recognized As Safe' (GRAS) status of many fermented food components also mitigates systemic or dermal toxicity concerns, suggesting a generally favorable safety profile for this ingredient in cosmetic applications.
