Cosmeceutical Importance Of Fermented Plant Extracts: A Short Review
Open accessAbstract
Personal care products, especially cosmetics, are regularly used all over the world. The used cosmetics are discharged continuously into the environment that affects the ecosystem and human well-being. The chemical and synthetic active compounds in the cosmetics cause some severe allergies and unwanted side effects to the customers. Currently, many customers are aware of the product composition, and they are stringent in product selection. So, cosmetic producers are keen to search for an alternative, and natural active principles for the development and improvisation of the cosmetic products to attain many customers. Phytochemicals are known for several pharmacological and cosmeceutical applications. Fermentation process improved the quality of the active phytochemicals and also facilitates the easy absorption of them by human system. Recently, several research groups are working on the cosmeceutical importance of fermented plant extracts (FPE), particularly on anti-ageing, anti-wrinkle, and whitening property of FPE. The current manuscript is presenting a brief on cosmeceutical importance of FPE. COSMECEUTICAL IMPORTANCE OF FERMENTED PLANT EXTRACTS: A SHORT REVIEW

Specific microbial strains in fermentation produce additional active substances such as proteins, ceramides, amino acids, acids, and antioxidants, increasing final raw material bioactivity and biocompatibility.
“Moreover, specific microbial strains used in the fermentation process produce additional active substances such as proteins, ceramides, amino acids, acids, and antioxidants, thanks to which the final raw material shows increased bioactivity and biocompatibility [150,151].”
From Use of Waste from the Food Industry and Applications of the Fermentation Process to Create Sustainable Cosmetic Products: A Review (2024) · cites this paper as [151]
The Introduction (page not available) says that specific starter cultures can increase phytochemical content and produce amino acids, and that fermenting microbes affect bioactivity. It lists proteins and antioxidants as constituents of fermented plant products, but does not say the microbes produce them or ceramides. The review also does not establish a general increase in biocompatibility of the final material. (LLM, conf=0.88)

The “Cosmeceutical Importance of FPE” section (page unavailable) reports anti-wrinkle and skin-whitening effects for red ginseng fermented with Lactobacillus brevis, along with reduced skin irritation and sensitization. It discusses Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation separately for black ginseng, not red ginseng, and does not report anti-inflammatory or anti-allergenic properties for the red-ginseng preparation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
