Science
Mechanism of Action
The Saccharomyces/Calcium/Germanium Ferment Lysate Extract works synergistically to enhance skin health. It provides vital nutrients and potent antioxidants, which fortify the skin's natural protective barrier and maintain optimal hydration. The extract stimulates cellular oxygen uptake, thereby boosting energy production and invigorating the skin's inherent repair and regeneration processes, which helps to visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It promotes natural skin renewal and cell turnover. Possessing anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, it effectively calms irritation and reduces redness. Its antioxidant capacity neutralizes damaging free radicals, safeguarding skin from environmental aggressors such as UV radiation and pollution. Functioning as a humectant, it draws and retains moisture, while also enhancing the absorption of other active ingredients. The inclusion of Germanium specifically contributes free radical scavenging and improved oxygen utilization, while Calcium supports healthy cell membrane function and nutrient exchange. The presence of beta-glucan further enhances oxygen flow within cells. It stimulates soluble elastin production, helps balance sebum, inhibits tyrosinase for a brighter complexion, maintains elasticity, and provides deep hydration through natural moisturizing factors (NMF). Additionally, it supports skin recovery post-sun exposure.

Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has determined that a class of yeast-derived ingredients, including Saccharomyces Ferment Lysate Extract, are safe for use in cosmetic applications. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the parent yeast, is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for food use up to 5%. Similar yeast extracts are used in cosmetic formulations up to 2%. Specific Saccharomyces Lysate Extract forms have been used in baby products at up to 0.067%. Reproductive studies in mice showed no relevant effects at oral doses significantly higher than cosmetic exposure. SkinSAFE has classified similar Saccharomyces Ferment Lysate Filtrate as 'Irritant Free' and devoid of common allergens.
