From September 5 to 7, 2019, the 53rd China (Guangzhou) International Beauty Expo was held in Pazhou Exhibition Hall in Guangzhou. The traditional Chinese medicine beauty industry branch of the World Federation of traditional Chinese Medicine Societies held a forum on the inheritance and breakthrough of national cosmetics -- Chinese herbal medicine cosmetics formula. At the invitation of the association, Dr. Xiang Qi, director of our center, shared the application of plant ferments in cosmetics in the forum.
China is rich in plant resources, which can tap more value for Chinese herbal medicine in the theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine. The application of Chinese herbal medicine in skin care products after fermentation is a new topic and a wind vane for the development of domestic skin care products. Compared with traditional plant extracts, plants can convert macromolecular substances into small molecule products after microbial transformation (fermentation), and increase amino acids, organic acids and other nutrients, which plays a role in reducing toxicity and increasing efficiency. In addition, the fermentation process is green and environmental protection, which is consistent with the needs of sustainable development in today's society.
Our center has developed a series of plant fermentation liquid, such as coix seed fermentation liquid, quinoa seed fermentation liquid, Tartary Buckwheat fermentation liquid, Centella asiatica fermentation liquid, which have been successively introduced to the market.
