Aspergillus/Aloe Vera Leaf Ferment Filtrate

Aspergillus/Aloe Vera Leaf Ferment Filtrate is a processed form of aloe vera that has undergone fermentation using Aspergillus fungi. During fermentation, beneficial compounds are broken down into smaller molecular fragments, which may enhance skin penetration and bioavailability compared to unfermented aloe.The filtrate portion means the liquid has been separated from solid matter, creating a concentrated liquid ingredient. In skincare, it primarily functions as a humectant and conditioning agent, drawing moisture into the skin and helping to maintain hydration levels.

Fermentation breaks down aloe vera's polysaccharides and other compounds into smaller, more easily absorbed molecules. This process can increase the ingredient's ability to penetrate the stratum corneum (outer skin layer) and deliver hydrating compounds more effectively than whole aloe leaf juice.The ferment filtrate works primarily as a humectant — it attracts water molecules from the dermis (deeper skin layers) and the environment into the epidermis, plumping skin and reducing the appearance of dryness. It also contains compounds with potential anti-inflammatory properties, though more re…

This ingredient is typically found in serums, hydrating toners, and lightweight moisturisers. Apply to clean skin before heavier creams to allow hydration to penetrate. It works well layered with other humectants such as glycerol or hyaluronic acid for additive hydrating effect. No specific usage restrictions, though as with any new skincare product, patch test first if you have sensitive or reactive skin.

Generally well-tolerated and considered safe for cosmetic use. Aloe vera derivatives are unlikely to cause irritation in most people, though those with known aloe sensitivity should avoid products containing this ingredient.
