What is it?

Fermented Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract — a fermentation product in which microbial fermentation transforms green tea catechins (EGCG and related compounds) into new forms with potentially higher stability and bioavailability. Mechanism: native green tea catechins are sensitive to oxidation and degradation, while fermentation transformation can enhance the stability of active compounds, preserving or enhancing their antioxidant activity. This makes fermented green tea extract an interesting alternative to standard green tea extract for formulations requiring a longer shelf life of active components.

Antioxidant serums with increased stability, formulations based on fermentation technologies, anti-aging products.

Key Benefits

✦
Increased stability of antioxidant catechins
The fermentation transformation of fermented green tea extract enhances the stability of active catechins compared to native green tea, which is sensitive to oxidation, ensuring longer preservation of antioxidant activity in the formula throughout the product's shelf life.
◈
Potentially enhanced antioxidant activity
Some studies indicate that microbial fermentation can create new bioactive compounds with potentially higher antioxidant activity compared to native catechins, neutralizing free radicals and protecting skin cells from oxidative stress.
✧
Modern fermentation technology for a classic active
Fermented green tea extract demonstrates how modern fermentation technology can improve the functional properties of a well-known, classic cosmetic active (green tea), expanding its application beyond the limitations of the native form.
