Black Garlic Powder (Fermented)

Black Garlic Powder (Fermented) is derived from fresh Allium sativum bulbs that have undergone a prolonged Maillard reaction-driven fermentation process, transforming raw garlic into a dark, odor-reduced ingredient with a significantly amplified bioactive profile. The fermentation process dramatically increases the concentration of S-allylcysteine (SAC), polyphenols, and melanoidins compared to raw garlic, resulting in superior antioxidant activity and improved skin bioavailability. Formulators choose this ingredient for its potent free-radical scavenging capacity, its ability to support skin barrier function, and its markedly reduced sulfurous odor, making it far more cosmetically acceptable than conventional garlic-derived ingredients.
