SACCHAROMYCES/BARLEY SEED FERMENT FILTRATE.

Essential / HUMECTANT

This advanced ferment leverages the power of yeast to break down barley seed compounds into highly bioavailable molecules. It delivers exceptional, long-lasting hydration, strengthens the skin barrier, and offers significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.

Science

Mechanism of Action

Through a precision fermentation process, complex barley constituents are transformed into smaller, more active molecules. These create unique moisture reservoirs that penetrate deeper skin layers, enabling sustained hydration release over 8 hours. The ingredient actively reduces IL-8, a key inflammatory marker, thereby calming irritation and preventing compensatory sebum production in oily skin. It also concentrates natural antioxidants like ferulic acid, enhancing their skin penetration for robust environmental protection and anti-aging effects. Furthermore, it generates beneficial metabolites for immediate surface conditioning, improving texture, boosting nutrient bioavailability (amino acids, vitamins), supporting the skin microbiome, strengthening the skin barrier, and stimulating collagen production for reduced fine lines and enhanced skin regeneration.

Key findings

  1. 01 In a randomized, controlled trial involving 65 participants (aged 25-60 with dry skin) over an 8-week period, a significant increase in hydration was observed on both facial and forearm skin after 4 and 8 weeks.
  2. 02 Demonstrated 300% greater moisture retention compared to glycerin, maintaining skin hydration for a full 8 hours.
  3. 03 Clinical data showed more than a 10% reduction in IL-8, a primary inflammatory marker, indicating significant anti-inflammatory action beneficial for oily skin.
