What’s so special about fermented ingredients in skincare?

Liam Smith

Fermented skin care, a field of skin care full of mystery and charm, uses bio-fermentation technology to transform natural raw materials such as plants and herbs into skin care artifacts. These fermented products are rich in nutrients such as peptides, amino acids, organic acids, etc., which can regulate the skin microecology, improve the skin's physiological activity, and directly provide nutrition to the skin.

Speaking of which, in our traditional skin care ideas, skin care is mainly based on "treating the symptoms". For example, many people think that if the skin is dry, they need to moisturize and hydrate, so they will choose skin care products containing relevant ingredients for this problem to maintain; but as consumers mature and their understanding of ingredients deepens, many people also begin to pay attention to the matching of ingredients. But whether it is focusing on ingredients or formulas, wanting to "cure the root cause", returning the skin to a healthy state, and allowing the functional ingredients to play a greater role, it is inseparable from the scope of skin microecology.

Fermented skin care, it sounds a bit magical, right?
In fact, it is to use natural raw materials and microbial fermentation to produce some substances that are good for the skin. These fermented products can regulate the microecology on the surface of the skin, enhance the physiological activity of the skin, provide various nutrients and active ingredients, and have various benefits for the skin. Fermented raw materials are mainly divided into three categories: plants, animals and microorganisms.
The magic of fermented skin care products
From the perspective of efficacy, fermented skin care products are basically pure natural ingredients, which produce natural skin care effects of various plants, animals or microorganisms through fermentation. When facing complex skin problems, fermented ingredients are characterized by multi-channel, multi-target, and comprehensive care, unlike traditional skin care products that rely on chemical additives.
Safety comparison
From the perspective of ingredient safety, fermented skin care products have fewer ingredients, and fermented ingredients prepared by biosynthesis have good skin homology, while traditional skin care products often contain various chemical additives. From the perspective of production process safety, fermented skin care products adopt one-stop closed aseptic production, and no acid and alkali chemical reagents are added during the extraction process to maximize the retention of natural activity; while traditional skin care products are mostly open production.

The star ingredient of fermented skin care products - Cellec β-glucan
Celec β-glucan is a high-purity raw material (>90%) obtained through fermentation, with multiple functions. It is naturally mild and non-irritating, and can soothe and anti-inflammatory, moisturize and replenish water, resist UV and antioxidant, repair wounds and regulate skin microecology.
Soothing and anti-inflammatory: Cellec β-glucan can relieve sensitivity and inflammation and enhance the skin's "immunity".
Moisturizing and hydrating:
It forms a barrier on the skin surface, absorbs moisture from the air to replenish the moisture of the stratum corneum, reduces the transepidermal water loss rate, and regulates the filaggrin in the calcium ion pathway to reduce the degradation of hyaluronic acid, repair the skin barrier, and maintain the stability of the skin.
Anti-ultraviolet and anti-oxidant:
Celeco β-glucan can repair the damage caused by ultraviolet UVA to the skin, inhibit the damage of ultraviolet UVA, and at the same time act as a free radical scavenger, eliminate the burden of oxidation on the skin, and play an anti-aging and anti-wrinkle role.
Wound repair:
It reduces the damage caused to the skin by the continuous high expression of inflammatory factors in the early stage of wound healing, promotes the proliferation of fibroblasts, shortens the time of wound healing, and plays an antibacterial role.
Regulating skin microecology:
Celeco β-glucan can maintain skin stability by regulating skin pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Ralstonia.
In general, Cellec β-glucan is a multi-functional raw material that can provide targeted care for various skin problems and can repair the skin barrier, truly achieving precise skin care.
