Premier Naturals™ by OnScent: Natural Cosmetic Ingredients
A Breakthrough Cosmetic Ingredient for Strengthening Skin Resilience & Vitality
The Acerola Cherry, long valued in the nutritional industry, is now recognized as a skincare superfruit, capturing the interest of beauty innovators due to its high antioxidant and Vitamin C content. In addition to enhancing skin health by inhibiting compounds that reduce resilience, Acerola Cherry Ferment™ (ACF) infuses formulations with antioxidants and nutrients for healthy-looking skin. Through fermentation, Acerola’s benefits are enhanced, increasing nutrient bioavailability and mitigating glycation and fine lines.
Acerola Cherry Ferment Benefits For Preventative Skincare
Mitigates Glycation
Acerola Cherry Ferment™ inhibits the buildup of AGEs (Advanced Glycation End-products), which form when sugars bind to proteins and fats through glycation. Over time, AGEs naturally accumulate and can increase with sugar intake and sun exposure. As a result, they reduce skin resilience and firmness, while also contributing to dullness and fine lines.
What is Glycation? Glycation occurs when sugars like glucose bind to proteins and fats forming harmful compounds called AGEs. While glycation is a normal part of metabolism, excessive AGEs can build up, leading to tissue damage, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Notably, AGEs can form naturally in the body and also come from certain foods. Fortunately, Acerola Cherry Ferment™ has proven effective at anti-glycation, helping inhibit AGEs and support healthier, more resilient skin.

How Fermentation Boosts Acerola's Bioavailability For Skincare Formulas: Lactobacillus / Acerola Cherry Ferment
Fermentation breaks down ingredients into biologically active compounds, thereby enhancing their efficacy. Specifically, our Acerola Cherry Ferment™ is fermented with a proprietary strain of Lactobacillus plantarum, which produces targeted by-products that boost nutrient bioavailability and increase activity, ultimately creating a high-performance ingredient for skincare. Moreover, standardized to 1.6% Vitamin C, the entire process is natural—employing no chemical processing or solvent extraction beyond water—and utilizes sustainably sourced, renewable resources.
