Application

Kopcarotol is a bioactive plant-based ferment of the skin food type, intended for cosmetic formulations for facial skin, body skin, as well as scalp and hair care.
The preparation is a rich source of natural carotenoids, vitamins, and minerals. It is a modern ingredient that combines the traditional properties of carrot with advanced biotechnology, offering intensive revitalizing and protective effects.
The raw material is suitable for vegans and has not been tested on animals.

Key active ingredients:

• Vitamin A: Essential in anti-aging prevention, helps prevent wrinkle formation and smooths skin.
• Vitamin C: Supports natural collagen production, brightens complexion and improves skin tone.
• Potassium: Mineral responsible for maintaining proper hydration levels of the skin and scalp.
• Bioactive compounds: Support cellular metabolism.

Example applications in DIY cosmetics:
• Face and body: brightening serums, anti-aging creams, regenerating emulsions, moisturizing balms, toners, mists, cleansing products.
• Hair: shampoos, conditioners, masks, hair growth–stimulating scalp lotions, trichological products
(note: possible slight coloration at higher concentrations)

Use in formulations:
Add to the water phase or to the finished product (at temperatures below 40°C). Fermentation increases the bioavailability of active ingredients, making the raw material effective even at low concentrations.
Recommended concentration: 1.0–5.0%

Benefits

On the skin:
• Brightens and improves skin tone, reducing dullness and signs of fatigue.
• Provides natural carotenoids – powerful antioxidants that protect against oxidative stress and photoaging.
• Supports epidermal regeneration and natural cell renewal processes.
• Strengthens the hydrolipid barrier, reducing water loss.
• Improves skin hydration and elasticity thanks to potassium content and bioactive ferment-derived metabolites.

On the scalp and hair:
• Supports cellular metabolism of the scalp and hair follicles, promoting healthier hair growth.
• Improves scalp condition and reduces dryness.
• Conditions the hair, enhancing softness and overall appearance.

Additional efficacy information:
• Ferments involving Bacillus bacteria are known to improve the bioavailability of vitamins and antioxidants and to support the skin microbiome.
• Plant bioferments show better skin tolerance than classic extracts, making them suitable for sensitive and fatigued skin.
• Regular use of ferments in cosmetics supports improved skin texture, smoothness, and a more even skin tone.
