Pseudozyma Epicola/Camellia Sinensis Seed Oil Ferment Extract Filtrate
A filtrate from fermenting Camellia sinensis seed oil with Pseudozyma epicola yeast, yielding mannosylerythritol lipid (MEL) glycolipids. MELs have a lamellar structure similar to skin's natural lipids, enabling enhanced penetration and barrier-supportive delivery of fatty acids and antioxidants.
