About GALACTOMYCES/PHELLINUS LINTEUS EXTRACT FERMENT FILTRATE

Phellinus linteus mushroom fermented by Galactomyces creates a bioactive ingredient combining fungal beta-glucans with probiotic metabolites; Phellinus linteus has extensive use in traditional Asian medicine.

Detailed Analysis

Galactomyces/Phellinus linteus extract ferment filtrate uses the yeast Galactomyces (formerly classified under Candida) to ferment Phellinus linteus, a medicinal mushroom (Polyporaceae family). Phellinus linteus contains hispidin derivatives, flavonoids, and unique polysaccharides including the beta-glucan PLN. Galactomyces species are commonly used in Japanese cosmetic fermentation technology (similar to Galactomyces ferment filtrate in SK-II). The fermentation process generates low-molecular-weight bioactive compounds. CosIng does not list restrictions for this combination.
