When you hear the word “fermentation”, do you think of things like kimchi, yogurt, or kombucha? It’s time to add skincare to the list. These things all have more in common than you might think. The power of fermentation helps heal the body from the inside out, including the skin. Let’s get into it.
The Science
Fermentation involves breaking down ingredients into different compounds. In other words, the ingredients are shrunk down and made more concentrated, allowing them to penetrate deeper into the skin. This is important because better absorption leads to better results.
Some studies also prove that fermentation boosts the potency of ingredients by increasing their nutrient density. Fermented skincare supports the skin’s microbiome — this is particularly beneficial for people with acne-prone skin.
The Skincare
Lots of skincare products are starting to utilize fermentation technology to enhance their benefits. This includes serums, moisturizers, essences, and more. Fun fact: Japan has a long history of fermenting skincare ingredients to create high-performance formulations.
Worried about irritation? Don’t be. Fermented skincare mimics cell functions and rarely causes adverse reactions, making it suitable for sensitive skin. Additionally, fermentation helps maintain the skin’s pH balance as well as alleviating- dryness and its associated irritation.
Meet Flora Drip
Ready to experience the transformative benefits or fermented skincare for yourself? We recommend starting with our beloved Flora Drip. This Japanese essence is our premiere youth-boosting elixir that promotes firm, smooth, radiant, hydrated skin.
The star ingredient in Flora Drip is our one-of-a-kind, world-class ingredient blend: MYURAT™. With our advanced technology, we created MYURAT™ by fermenting five special herbs with pure white koji fungus, also known as Shirakami. Using koji as a fermenting agent results in more benefits from the plant extracts, making this essence even more effective and transformative. This special blend is processed at our very own lab and farm in Japan where we
are constantly innovating and researching the best skincare ingredients.
Skincare is constantly evolving and researchers are always discovering new ingredients and technologies. Fermentation is gaining popularity these days, but it has been around for ages and has proven to be extremely beneficial. It’s an exciting path that will hopefully lead you to your best skin yet. Give it a try—you won’t regret it.
