Performance & Formulation Insights for Fermentoil Leonurus

How Fermentation Enhances Leonurus (Motherwort) Oil

Fermentoil Leonurus utilizes a specialized fermentation process with Pseudozyma epicola, a unique yeast that transforms a blend of botanical oils and Leonurus sibiricus (Motherwort) extract. This bio-fermentation breaks down larger oil molecules into smaller, more bioavailable components like free fatty acids, triglycerides, and beneficial metabolites. The result is an active oil with significantly improved skin absorption and a lighter, less greasy feel compared to conventional oils. Furthermore, fermentation unlocks and potentiates the natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of Motherwort, making it more effective at soothing skin and combating visible signs of aging.

Formulation Guidelines and Technical Advantages

Fermentoil Leonurus is an oil-soluble active that should be incorporated into the oil phase of your formulation. It is stable across a wide range of temperatures typical for cosmetic production. Owing to its enhanced absorption properties, it can also improve the delivery of other oil-soluble actives in the formula. The recommended usage rate is between 2% and 10%, depending on the desired level of efficacy. Its unique texture provides a silky, non-greasy skin feel, elevating the sensory experience of emulsions, facial oils, and anhydrous systems.

Key Formulation Benefits

  • Enhanced Skin Penetration: The fermentation process increases the concentration of free fatty acids and generates smaller, more bioavailable components for deeper, more efficient absorption.
  • Potent Antioxidant Power: Helps neutralize free radicals to protect skin from environmental stressors and prevent premature aging.
  • Superior Soothing & Calming: Leverages the anti-inflammatory properties of Leonurus sibiricus to calm redness, reduce irritation, and support sensitive or compromised skin.
  • Improved Skin Barrier Function: Replenishes essential lipids to help repair and reinforce the skin’s natural barrier for better moisture retention and resilience.
  • Elegant Sensory Profile: Delivers the benefits of rich botanical oils in a lightweight, fast-absorbing format that leaves a smooth, non-greasy finish.
  • Biomimetic Composition: The fermented oil’s structure closely mimics natural sebum, ensuring excellent compatibility and a low potential for irritation.
