In our reference data, Aspergillus Ferment Extract Filtrate can feed Malassezia (fungal acne).
Aspergillus Ferment Extract Filtrate is a filtrate obtained from the fermentation of substrates by Aspergillus fungi, used in cosmetics for skin-conditioning, humectant, and antioxidant effects, and as a source of enzymes, peptides, and amino acids. It is promoted for improving skin texture, hydration, and barrier support.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Mild transient irritation or stinging | Uncommon | Possible on sensitive or compromised skin, generally short-lived. |
Contact dermatitis / allergic sensitization | Rare | Fermentation extracts may contain residual proteins or metabolites that trigger allergy in predisposed individuals. |
Erythema or itching | Rare | Reported sporadically, typically resolving on discontinuation. |
Reactions in mold/fungal-allergic individuals | Very rare | Theoretical risk due to Aspergillus origin; documented cases are limited. |
Frequencies reflect typical cosmetic use reported in the literature, not a guarantee for your skin.
