Question
What does the high percentage claim (e.g., 98.5%) for Pitera (Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate) in cosmetic products actually refer to?
Answer
Based on the discussion, when cosmetic brands claim a high percentage like 98.5% for Pitera, it generally refers to the concentration of the Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate ingredient in the final product formula. This ingredient is a liquid extract that naturally contains water from the fermentation process. It does not mean that 98.5% of the product is a dry, pure Pitera substance, or a concentration before the ingredient is supplied. If you are formulating a product, the percentage you claim would be the amount of the supplied Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate ingredient used in your final formula.
