In the past two years, with the popularity of skin care concepts such as "efficacy skin care", "precision skin care" and "micro-ecological skin care", consumers have deepened their awareness of cosmetic ingredients, resulting in consumers' requirements for the efficacy and safety of raw materials. Simply relying on retinol, ceramide these traditional efficacy ingredients have been difficult to arouse consumer interest. In this situation, the more subdivided "fermentation skin care" has become a trend of concern, according to the data of the past year, the sound volume of "fermentation skin care" has increased by 127.67%.
Why fermented skin care is worth paying attention to?
Fermentation skin care refers to the skin care technology that ferments natural raw materials and microorganisms to produce natural substances. The fermentation product extract can regulate the skin surface microecology and the physiological activity of the skin itself. Fermentation raw materials can be divided into three categories according to the source: plant, animal and microbial.
• Plant fermentation raw materials
Plant fermentation raw materials refer to the active ingredients produced by plant extracts under the action of microorganisms. For example, plant extracts can be converted into active substances with moisturizing, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and other effects through the action of microorganisms such as yeast or lactic acid bacteria.
• Animal fermentation raw materials
Animal fermentation raw materials refer to the active ingredients produced by animal extracts under the action of microorganisms. For example, milk can be fermented into lactic acid and other active ingredients through the action of lactic acid bacteria, which has the effect of moisturizing and soothing the skin.
• Microbial fermentation raw materials
Microbial fermentation raw materials refer to the fermentation process using microorganisms themselves to produce active ingredients. For example, yeast fermentation can produce peptides, amino acids and other ingredients that benefit skin health.
Fermented skin care" has become a mainstream trend.
What are the advantages of fermented skin care?
Comprehensive effect
In the face of complex skin problems, fermentation ingredients compared to innovative peptides and collagen/functional protein ingredients, characterized by multi-pathway, multi-targeting, the main is a comprehensive! Up to hundreds of skin-friendly ingredients can be produced through fermentation. This also means that fermentation ingredients can have multiple auxiliary effects while focusing on a core effect, which is more suitable for solving sub-health skin problems.
homology
The fermentation ingredients prepared by biosynthesis have good skin homology, and the molecular weight of some components is very small. For example, it contains a variety of nucleic acids, vitamins, amino acids, folic acid and other substances, which are found in the skin and can be well absorbed by the skin to play a role.
security
The use of bioenzymolysis extraction technology, without acid, base, nor high temperature, freezing, at normal temperature and neutral conditions using biological enzymes to crack cells, so that yeast proteins, yeast peptides, yeast polysaccharides, trace elements, amino acids, nucleic acids, biological active enzymes, etc. to avoid destruction, to maximize the retention of natural activities; The use of mild excipients in the formula will not inhibit antioxidant activity after repeated testing, nor will it destroy the natural conformation of yeast protein, yeast multi-skin and other substances.
On the market, raw material ingredients such as retinol and ceramide with obvious efficacy have seized the attention of consumers, but at the same time, these ingredients also bring the "side effects" of damaging the skin barrier to consumers.
RETINOL
Advantages: Reduce the accumulation of fat in the skin tissue, make the skin structure younger;
Disadvantages: the skin has a certain irritation, easy to lead to redness, peeling and other phenomena; Sensitive to sunlight, more easily oxidized, sensitive people do not recommend the use of skin care products containing these ingredients;
CERAMIDE
Benefits: Repair skin barrier;
Disadvantages: Ceramides need to be used in combination with cholesterol and fatty acids to have the best repair effect on sensitive skin; Studies have found that ceramides also have a negative effect, inducing apoptosis (programmed cell death), and are also associated with obesity, diabetes and other diseases. Therefore, the amount of ceramide should not be too high, less than 1% is more secure.
What is the role of fermented skin care in the formula?
Maintain stability and relieve
It can prevent staphylococcus aureus, propionibacterium acnes and other harmful bacteria from being too active to achieve the effect of anti-acne and anti-sensitivity. Fermentation raw materials from the conditioning of surface flora, balance the pH value of the epidermis, enhance water content has a certain effect, but also by relieving inflammation, to reduce the color sink, oxidation, and improve the overall luster of the skin.
Photoaging prevention
It can effectively resist and reduce the skin cell damage caused by ultraviolet radiation, improve the skin self-repair ability, and promote the body's own cell repair activity, so as to prevent the skin aging caused by light aging. At the same time, it can inhibit lipid oxidation and accelerate cutin metabolism.
Brightening and whitening
Yeast fermentation raw materials can inhibit the activity of rosinase, inhibit the transformation of rosinine into melanin in the skin, and achieve the effect of whitening, fading stains and eliminating dullness.
Fermentation skin care in the application of outstanding performance
• Application field
Fermentation raw materials are widely used in various forms in various categories of cosmetics, such as toners, serums, creams, masks, etc.
Fermentation raw material is a veritable core raw material that integrates barrier repair, antioxidant, whitening and anti-aging.
Not only that, the common probiotic fermentation raw materials such as rice fermentation product filtrate and bifissure yeast fermentation product lysate on the market are easily absorbed by the skin due to the change of their composition from the original protein and other large molecules to small molecules such as amino acids after fermentation. They are hydrated and refreshing to use, and have been used by many brands as the base inspiration for anhydrous formulas. In a way, it can also help the claims of synergistic composition.
• Environmental protection concept to promote development
"Fermented skin care" quickly occupied the domestic market, it can be seen that cosmetics companies have realized the importance of green raw materials and sustainable development of products, and introduced these concepts into the development of products. In the process of product development, in line with the national "low-carbon", "decarbonization", "carbon neutral" and other policy directions, reduce environmental pollution, the use of more friendly and sustainable synthetic biological raw materials, fermentation raw materials, in order to reduce the impact on the environment, to achieve the green transformation of the cosmetics industry.
• Incompatibility
Although fermentation raw materials have many effects and types, it is also necessary to pay attention to their compatibility taboos to avoid destroying raw material active substances, nutrients and efficacy.
Mixing with oxidants: The ingredients of fermentation raw materials are easily oxidized, so they should not be mixed with oxidants, otherwise it may reduce its efficacy;
Mixing with acidic substances: The pH value of fermentation raw materials is high, generally around 7, if mixed with acidic substances, it may lead to a decrease in pH value, thus affecting its efficacy;
Mixing of products containing large amounts of alcohol: Products containing large amounts of alcohol may cause irritation and dryness to the skin, which may be aggravated if mixed with fermentation ingredients;
Mixing of other active ingredients: fermentation raw materials as active ingredients in cosmetics, if mixed with other active ingredients, will affect its efficacy, and even lead to skin discomfort and other adverse reactions;
Therefore, when using fermentation raw materials, please avoid mixing with the above ingredients. Double the effectiveness with streamlined formulations.
In summary, "safety" and "efficacy" are the core topics of common concern from upstream raw material suppliers to brands, founderings, and end consumers, "fermented skin care" with a mild, clear and safe skin care concept strong circle at the same time, attention soared.
