The primary ingredient of Mixsoon Bean Essence is Glycine Max Ferment Filtrate, and its permeability of small molecule peptide (molecular weight ≤500 Da) is 3.2 times greater than that of regular formula. Boosts cuticle water content to 24.3% from 9.8% in 15 minutes (as measured by Corneometer CM825). According to a 2023 study in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science, its isoflavones (concentration 0.2%) inhibited matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) activity by 47%, thereby reducing UV-induced collagen degradation (skin elasticity increased by 29%, measured by Cutometer MPA580). The Korean Association of Dermatology’s clinical trial showed that after using it daily for 28 days, the percutaneous water loss rate of the patient decreased from 22.5 g/m²/h to 14.1 g/m²/h (37.3% decrease), and epidermal lipid layer thickness rose by 18.6% (confocal Raman spectroscopy).
The antioxidant effect is derived from the superoxide dismutase (SOD, active unit ≥1200 U/g) obtained through fermentation, and the assay shows that its free radical scavenging activity is 1.8 times greater than that of vitamin C (determination of ORAC value: 8500 μmol TE/g). Under a PM2.5 simulation exposure (75 μg/m³), mixsoon bean essence reduced the carbon particle deposition on the skin by 52% (tape stripping) because of the electrostatic adsorption of cationic polysaccharides such as beta-glucan. Comparison experiments proved that the anti-blue light activity (415-455nm) increased the survival rate of HEK293 cells from 63% to 89% in the control group (MTT assay), and the wrinkle density of photoaging was reduced by 31% (3D skin model imaging).
The anti-inflammatory mechanism is accomplished through the control of cytokines. 0.1% sodasterol formulations reduced IL-6 secretion by 62% (ELISA) and TLR-2 expression by 41% (qPCR), effectively alleviating rosacea patients’ erythema (38% reduction in Mexameter MX18 readings). In the sensitive skin test, the lactic acid sting test score decreased from 5.2 out of 10 to 2.1, and 72% of subjects re-established the skin barrier within 7 days (pH reverted from 6.3 to 5.1).
Cost-benefit analysis reveals the superiority of its formulation. Its unit cost per ml of Mixsoon Bean Essence production is $0.32, where 63% is accounted for by the fermentation process (energy consumption of 4.2 kWh/L), but with respect to comparison with SK-II Fairy Water with comparable ingredients (cost of $1.05/ml), its moisturizing effectiveness per unit cost ($0.01 / hour) is 3.7. It has superior value to 2.1 of competing products. Survey of Korean Consumer Agency was exhibited that re-purchase rate of the user was 49% (industry average 28%), and negative feedback regarding “sticky” (similar product on the average 15%) was just 5%.
(Innovation of technology provides stability control.). The degradation rate of active ingredient under 40°C/75% humidity was reduced from 9.2%/month to 0.7%/month utilizing microlipid encapsulation (80-120nm) (HPLC detection), and the valid time after opening was extended from standard 12 months to 18 months. The 2024 AmorePacific Group patent states that addition of 0.02% ergothione enhances its synergistic protection of ultraviolet (UVB) and raises the unlabeled SPF to an equal SPF15 (in vitro ISO 24444 test).
