Performance & Formulation Insights for Fermentoil Camellia Seed

How Fermentation Enhances Camellia Seed Oil

Fermentoil Camellia Seed is developed using a specialized fermentation process with Pseudozyma epicola, a yeast that transforms traditional Camellia Japonica Seed Oil into a more potent and bio-available active. This fermentation process breaks down the oil’s triglycerides, significantly increasing the concentration of free fatty acids, including oleic acid. This change lowers the oil’s molecular weight and improves its affinity with the skin, leading to enhanced penetration and faster absorption without a greasy residue. The result is a bioactive oil that delivers nutrients more effectively, providing superior moisturizing and barrier-repair benefits compared to its unfermented counterpart.

Formulation Guidelines & Technical Advantages

Fermentoil Camellia Seed is an oil-soluble ingredient that should be incorporated into the oil phase of your formulation. It is stable across a wide range of temperatures typical for cosmetic manufacturing. With a recommended usage rate of 2–10%, it adapts well to various product types, from lightweight serums to rich creams. Its unique fermented nature can also provide improved emulsifying capabilities, which may enhance the stability and texture of emulsions. This ingredient is highly compatible with other oil-soluble actives, such as vitamins A and E, and works synergistically with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides in the final formulation.

Key Formulation Benefits

Enhanced Skin Absorption: The fermentation process reduces effective particle size for a lighter, less greasy texture that absorbs quickly and deeply into the skin and hair shaft.
Superior Moisturization: Delivers intense hydration to both skin and hair, helping to restore moisture balance and prevent dryness.
Rich in Antioxidants: Naturally rich in antioxidants and squalene, it helps protect the skin from free radical damage and soothes irritation.
Improves Hair Health: Conditions hair, adds a luminous shine, and helps address damage from split ends, perms, and colorants.
Boosts Skin Barrier Function: The increased level of free fatty acids helps fortify the skin’s natural lipid barrier, improving resilience and moisture retention.
Improved Formulation Aesthetics: Contributes to a silky, smooth, and non-tacky feel in finished products, enhancing the sensory experience.
