Performance & Formulation Insights for Fermentoil Saururus

How Fermentation Unlocks Advanced Brightening

Fermentoil Saururus leverages a dual-action approach to improve skin clarity and luminosity. First, the active botanical, Saururus chinensis (often referenced for its traditional brightening benefits), is rich in compounds that help inhibit melanin synthesis—addressing the formation of dark spots and uneven tone. Its strong antioxidant capacity also helps defend against environmental stressors that can trigger hyperpigmentation and dullness.

Second, an innovative biotechnological fermentation using Pseudozyma epicola transforms a base of Apricot, Olive, Sunflower, and Sweet Almond oils. Fermentation breaks down triglycerides into smaller, more bioavailable components such as free fatty acids and beneficial metabolites. The result is enhanced penetration of brightening actives, improved moisturization with a lightweight, non-greasy skin feel, and a superior delivery system for Saururus chinensis extract.

Formulation Guidelines & Technical Advantages

As an oil-soluble active, Fermentoil Saururus should be incorporated into the oil phase of emulsions or used directly in anhydrous systems. It may be gently heated with the oil phase if needed. Recommended usage is 2–10%, depending on desired brightening intensity and moisturization. Beyond efficacy, this fermented oil enhances spreadability, supports a silky finish, and helps reduce the heavy feel often associated with traditional oils—broadening suitability across skin types, including combination and oily skin.
