Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions by utilizing the beneficial metabolites produced during the Pichia fermentation process. It acts as a potent antioxidant, effectively neutralizing free radicals and mitigating oxidative stress through its rich content of polyphenols and flavonoids. As a humectant, it significantly improves skin hydration by drawing and retaining moisture within the epidermal layers. Furthermore, it stimulates keratinocyte activity, thereby promoting accelerated cellular turnover and renewal for refined skin texture. Its actions also extend to strengthening the skin's natural barrier, reducing inflammation, firming the skin, and restoring its natural luminosity.

Sensitization risk Unknown

The CIR Expert Panel has issued 'Insufficient Data Announcements' for related yeast-derived ingredients (Pichia Ferment Extract Filtrate and Pichia Ferment Lysate Filtrate), requesting confirmatory dermal sensitization data and either food use/GRAS status or 28-day dermal toxicity data. A June 2024 announcement indicated a tentative conclusion of safety for these related ingredients under current cosmetic use practices and concentrations, provided systemic toxicity data or GRAS status is available. No specific GHS classification or direct oral/dermal/inhalation toxicity data was found for PICHIA/SEA SALT FERMENT EXTRACT itself.
