Science
Mechanism of Action
This ferment delivers a complex of yeast metabolites, including amino acids, beta-glucan, vitamins, and minerals, which collectively nourish the skin. It is believed to fortify the skin barrier, refine texture, and offer antioxidant protection against environmental damage. Additionally, it may support skin cell regeneration, promote collagen production for enhanced elasticity, and exhibit anti-inflammatory or melanin-inhibiting properties. The specific contribution of gold to these mechanisms within the ferment is not extensively detailed.
