About

A fermented ginger-family botanical from Alpinia speciosa that may offer enhanced bioavailability of bioactive compounds through the fermentation process.

Alpinia speciosa (also known as Alpinia zerumbet or shell ginger) fermented leaf and stem undergoes microbial transformation that may increase the bioavailability of phenolic compounds and flavonoids. Fermentation can reduce some anti-nutritional factors while potentially generating novel bioactive metabolites. Not specifically restricted under EU cosmetics law; the fermentation process itself is not a concern provided the final ingredient meets microbial standards for cosmetics.
