Performance & Formulation Insights for Fermentoil Artemisia

How Fermentation Unlocks Bioactive Potential

Fermentoil Artemisia is created using a specialized fermentation process with the yeast Pseudozyma epicola. This microbe metabolizes a blend of nutrient-rich botanical oils and Artemisia princeps (Mugwort) extract, transforming them into a more potent and skin-compatible ingredient. Fermentation breaks down larger oil molecules into smaller, readily absorbed components such as free fatty acids, vitamins, and other bioactive metabolites. The result is enhanced bioavailability of Artemisia’s soothing and antioxidant compounds, allowing for deeper penetration and more effective results than a simple, non-fermented blend.

Formulation Guidelines & Technical Advantages

Easily incorporated into the oil phase of anhydrous systems and emulsions, Fermentoil Artemisia imparts a smooth, non-greasy skin feel. It may be gently heated with the oil phase up to 75°C without compromising activity. Recommended usage is 2% to 10%, with higher levels ideal for intensive treatments. It is highly compatible with lipophilic actives such as ceramides, squalane, and vitamin E, enabling synergistic blends for barrier repair and anti-aging. The fermented composition also contributes to improved product stability and sensorial elegance.

Key Formulation Benefits

Enhanced Soothing Power: Fermentation amplifies Artemisia’s anti-inflammatory activity to help calm redness, irritation, and sensitivity.
Superior Skin Absorption: Smaller molecules and increased free fatty acids support faster, deeper penetration without a greasy residue.
Potent Antioxidant Defense: Concentrates Mugwort’s antioxidant compounds to help mitigate free radical damage and environmental stress.
Natural Brightening Effect: Helps clarify the complexion and promote a more even tone by addressing inflammation-induced discoloration.
Skin Barrier Fortification: Supplies essential lipids and fatty acids to strengthen the barrier and reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
Improved Sensory Profile: Lends a silky, elegant texture to creams, serums, and facial oils for an elevated user experience.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fermentoil Artemisia

The fermentation process makes Artemisia’s actives more bioavailable and potent, while enriching the base oils with beneficial metabolites and free fatty acids. This leads to enhanced absorption, superior soothing, and improved barrier repair compared to a standard extract in carrier oil.

Advanced soothing, visible reduction of redness and irritation, potent antioxidant protection, and strengthening of the skin’s natural barrier, with secondary brightening and antimicrobial effects.

Yes. Its strong calming and anti-inflammatory properties make it well-suited for sensitive, reactive, and compromised skin types.

Use 2% to 10%. Lower levels are ideal for daily maintenance products; higher levels (up to 10%) suit targeted treatments, facial oils, and reparative creams.

Add Fermentoil Artemisia to the oil phase. It is oil-soluble and can be gently heated with other oils during manufacturing.

They offer enhanced penetration, a more elegant skin feel, increased antioxidant capacity, and a higher concentration of skin-beneficial free fatty acids versus unfermented oils.
