Aspergillus/Camellia Japonica Seed Ferment Extract Filtrate is a filtrate obtained by fermenting Camellia japonica seeds with the fungus Aspergillus. This fermentation process releases bioactive compounds and essential nutrients that enhance skin hydration, radiance, and resilience. It is particularly suitable for hydrating and regenerative cosmetic formulations, offering a calming and smoothing effect.

Chemical Composition and Structure

The filtrate contains enzymes, amino acids, antioxidants, and other nutrients derived from fermentation, which support cellular regeneration and provide antioxidant protection. Fermentation with Aspergillus makes these nutrients more bioavailable, increasing the effectiveness of the product in improving skin texture and elasticity.

Physical Properties

Aspergillus/Camellia Japonica Seed Ferment Extract Filtrate appears as a clear, water-soluble liquid, easily incorporated into serums, lotions, and creams. Its light texture and penetrative ability make it ideal for products intended to deeply hydrate and nourish the skin.

Production Process

The filtrate is obtained through a natural fermentation process, where Camellia japonica seeds are fermented with Aspergillus. After fermentation, the mixture is filtered to isolate bioactive components, preserving hydrating and regenerative properties.

Applications

• Medical: Known for its regenerative and antioxidant properties, with potential applications in treatments for dry and damaged skin.

• Cosmetics: Aspergillus/Camellia Japonica Seed Ferment Extract Filtrate is commonly used in skincare products for its hydrating, nourishing, and soothing properties. It is ideal for serums, anti-aging creams, and facial masks due to its ability to improve skin texture and appearance.

INCI Functions:

Skin conditioning agent. It is the mainstay of topical skin treatment as it has the function of restoring, increasing or improving skin tolerance to external factors, including melanocyte tolerance. The most important function of the conditioning agent is to prevent skin dehydration, but the subject is rather complex and involves emollients and humectants that can be added in the formulation.

• Industry: In the cosmetic industry, it is valued for its ability to enhance the efficacy of hydrating products and support skin regeneration, finding applications in advanced skincare formulations.

Environmental and Safety Considerations
Aspergillus/Camellia Japonica Seed Ferment Extract Filtrate is considered safe for cosmetic use and is biodegradable. As it is derived from a natural fermentation process and plant-based source, it has minimal environmental impact, especially when Camellia japonica seeds are sustainably harvested.
