The aim is to explore a new biobased cosmetic ingredient from onion-derived endophytic fungi with skin-whitening and anti-aging properties.
Isolated endophytic fungi from onion tissues (Allium cepa) and prepared aqueous extracts.
Conducted screening for melanin-reducing capacities among fungal isolates.
Tested the bioactivity of Aspergillus brasiliensis (ACL05) under various sterilization methods.
Formulated a cosmetic essence using ACL05 extract and assessed its efficacy.
The best isolate achieved a maximum melanin reduction of 97.83%.
Autoclaved culture filtrate retained 62.85% of melanin-reducing activity.
The cosmetic essence from ACL05 resulted in a 15.39% reduction in melanin.
The extract demonstrated multifunctional anti-aging effects against tyrosinase, collagenase, and elastase.
