Verdict
Aspergillus Ferment brings traditional koji fermentation credibility and enzyme-rich brightening activity. Evidence is limited to traditional use and in vitro data. Mandatory mycotoxin testing (especially aflatoxins) in production batches is a critical safety requirement for regulatory compliance.
US Note
Permitted in OTC cosmetics. Safety substantiation required. Traditional use history (koji fermentation) supports general safety.
