Performance & Formulation Insights for Fermentoil Green Tea Seed
How Fermentation Unlocks Advanced Bioactivity
Fermentoil Green Tea Seed is created using a meticulous fermentation process with the yeast Pseudozyma epicola. This bio-fermentation breaks down the complex triglyceride structures of traditional Green Tea Seed Oil into smaller, more bioactive molecules, significantly increasing the concentration of free fatty acids, vitamins, and beneficial metabolites. With a reduced molecular weight and enhanced bioavailability, this active oil penetrates the skin more efficiently than its unfermented counterpart, delivering the antioxidant and nourishing power of green tea where it is needed most for faster, more visible results.
Formulation Guidelines and Technical Advantages
This fermented oil is a versatile, oil-soluble active that integrates seamlessly into the oil phase of emulsions or can be used in anhydrous (water-free) formulations. The recommended usage rate is 2-10%, allowing flexibility from daily-use moisturizers to intensive treatments. For optimal stability, add during the cool-down phase when possible; however, it is generally heat-stable within typical emulsion processing temperatures. Fermentoil Green Tea Seed is highly compatible with other lipophilic actives such as Vitamin E (Tocopherol), Coenzyme Q10, and botanical oils, working synergistically to enhance antioxidant performance and overall sensoriality.
Key Formulation Benefits
- Superior Antioxidant Power: Fermentation enhances the release of catechins, providing potent protection against free radicals to help slow visible signs of skin aging.
- Enhanced Skin Absorption: Reduced molecular size supports deeper, more efficient penetration to deliver nutrients where they are needed most.
- Improved Skin Feel: Fermentation refines texture for a lighter, non-greasy finish and an elegant afterfeel in leave-on formats.
- Deep Moisturization & Nourishment: Elevated levels of free fatty acids, including oleic acid, replenish the lipid barrier, lock in moisture, and improve softness and elasticity.
- Soothes and Calms: Natural anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and bactericidal properties help comfort irritated skin and support a balanced skin microbiome.
- Supports Skin Regeneration: By shielding from oxidative stress and supplying essential nutrients, it supports the skin’s natural renewal processes for a more youthful appearance.
