Description
Infinity ingredients is the UK distributor of BiotyFerment™ ASTRA from IFF Lucas Meyer Cosmetics.
Inspired by the traditional kefir beverage, the patented fermentation process of BiotyFerment™ ASTRA uses unique kefir grains made of symbiotic microorganisms. Due to this specific composition of kefir grains, astragalus bioactive molecules are transformed, giving an increased capacity to stimulate hyaluronic acid and collagen production and recover skin vitality.
Astragalus, also called Huang Qi in China and Korea, is an adaptogen plant that has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for more than 2,000 years. Its roots are the most widely prescribed medicinal herbs in Chinese formulas to reinforce “Qi”, the vital energy. Infusions made with the roots are also used as a tonic for persons who want to revitalise their body and fight fatigue to improve general health and wellness.
Organically sourced astragalus roots are fermented with a patented process in order to boost cell metabolism (cells in proliferation), increase hyaluronic acid synthesis, stimulate collagen production and provide an anti-fatigue effect.
