Aspergillus Ferment Description
.
species noted for their inhibitory effect on the triggers of skin discolorations, dull tone, etc.
fermentFrom a sustainability standpoint, Aspergillus ferments have earned praise as “upcycled” skin care ingredients to reduce agricultural waste and due to their unique nature, they can be used to produce other cosmetic ingredients, such as the pH adjuster citric acid. s is kojic acid, which in and of itself is a well-documented ingredient for fading skin discolorations and hyperpigmentation as it improves skin tone.
show potential for improving skin’s barrier function when consumed orally.
