LACHANCEA/HYDROLYZED RICE FERMENT FILTRATE

About LACHANCEA/HYDROLYZED RICE FERMENT FILTRATE

A fermented rice extract produced by a non-pathogenic yeast, used for skin brightening and antioxidant benefits.

Detailed Analysis

Lachancea/Hydrolyzed Rice Ferment Filtrate is produced by fermenting hydrolyzed rice (Oryza sativa) seed using the yeast Lachancea, a non-pathogenic and non-toxigenic species related to Saccharomyces. Fermented rice extracts contain a mixture of peptides, organic acids, phenolic compounds, and polysaccharides resulting from enzymatic hydrolysis during fermentation. Under EU Regulation 1223/2009, fermentation-derived cosmetic ingredients are permitted provided the producing microorganism is not pathogenic. Lachancea is considered a safe production organism (similar to Saccharomyces cerevisiae used in food and cosmetics). The ingredient is not listed in any EU annex restriction. Fermented rice extracts have a long history of safe cosmetic use (notably in East Asian traditions) and contain natural antioxidants such as ferulic acid and phytic acid derivatives.
