About
A fermented botanical ingredient combining sweet potato root with probiotic fungi, creating a bioactive-rich substrate that is gentler and more bioavailable than the unfermented plant material.
Fermentation of Ipomoea batatas by Aspergillus and Saccharomyces species produces bioactive compounds including reduced anthraquinones, short-chain fatty acids, and microbial metabolites. The fermentation process generally reduces inherent toxicity of the raw material. Fermented cosmetics are widely used in K-beauty with a good safety record. No EU restrictions specifically apply to this ferment.
Skin benefits
- fermented bioactives more bioavailable
- skin brightening
