Performance & Formulation Insights for Fermentoil Angelica

How Fermentation Enhances Angelica Oil

Fermentoil Angelica is created using a specialized fermentation process with the yeast Pseudozyma Epicola. This microorganism metabolizes the carrier oils (Apricot, Olive, Sunflower, Sweet Almond) and the Angelica Gigas Root Extract, breaking down large molecules into smaller, more bioavailable components. This transformation yields significant benefits over conventional botanical oils: it increases the concentration of free fatty acids, produces valuable metabolites like sophorolipids, and reduces the molecular size of the active compounds. The result is an oil with a lighter, less greasy texture that absorbs more readily into the skin and hair, delivering its moisturizing and antioxidant benefits more effectively.

Formulation Guidelines & Technical Advantages

Fermentoil Angelica is an oil-soluble active that should be incorporated into the oil phase of your formulation. It is stable at typical formulation temperatures, but adding it during the cool-down phase can help preserve maximum efficacy. Recommended for use at concentrations between 2% and 10%, it can serve as both a functional active and a carrier oil. Its unique post-fermentation texture improves the sensory profile of formulas, providing a silky, smooth feel without the heaviness of traditional oils. Fermentoil Angelica is highly compatible with other lipophilic actives, such as oil-soluble vitamins (A, E), ceramides, and other botanical extracts.

Key Formulation Benefits

  • Enhanced Skin Absorption: The fermentation process reduces the particle size of the oil, allowing for faster and deeper penetration into the skin for superior moisturization.
  • Potent Antioxidant Activity: Fermentation amplifies the natural antioxidant properties of Angelica Gigas Root, helping to neutralize free radicals and protect the skin from oxidative stress and photoaging.
  • Improved Skin Feel: Offers a sophisticated, lightweight, and non-greasy texture, elevating the sensory experience of anhydrous and emulsion-based products.
  • Deep Moisturization: The increased bioavailability of free fatty acids helps to nourish and reinforce the skin’s lipid barrier, preventing moisture loss and maintaining hydration.
  • Multi-Functional Efficacy: Provides comprehensive anti-aging, moisturizing, and protective benefits for both skin and hair in a single, stable ingredient.
  • Hair & Scalp Nourishment: Effectively conditions and strengthens hair while providing soothing and moisturizing benefits for a healthy scalp.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fermentoil Angelica

Fermentoil Angelica uses a blend of oils fermented with the extract. This process breaks down molecules for significantly better skin absorption, higher antioxidant potency, and a superior, lighter skin feel compared to a simple mixture of the oils and extract.
The recommended usage rate is between 2% and 10%, depending on the desired efficacy and application. For daily moisturizers, 2-5% is common, while for intensive treatments like serums or facial oils, 5-10% is recommended.
Yes, its lightweight nature and nourishing properties make it excellent for hair and scalp oils, conditioners, and leave-in treatments. It moisturizes and adds shine without weighing hair down.
This specific fermentation process is known for its ability to transform oils into more cosmetically elegant and effective ingredients. It increases the level of free fatty acids, creates beneficial sophorolipids (natural surfactants), and enhances the overall bioavailability of the active compounds.
Yes, it is stable enough to be added to the oil phase during emulsification. For optimal preservation of its bioactive components, it is best practice to add it during the cool-down phase when possible.
Fermentoil Angelica has a mild, characteristic odor from its natural components, but it is not heavily aromatic, making it suitable for a wide range of cosmetic formulations.
