SACCHAROMYCES/GRAPE FERMENT EXTRACT.

This ferment extract functions as a potent skin conditioning agent by supporting moisture retention and reinforcing the skin's natural barrier. The fermentation process breaks down complex grape compounds into smaller, easily absorbed molecules, delivering a rich complex of essential minerals, amino acids, beta-glucan, peptides, and vitamins. It offers significant antioxidant protection, mitigating free radical damage and defending against environmental stressors and UV radiation. Furthermore, it aids in supporting the skin's natural microbiome, acts as a humectant, and delivers soothing benefits. It has also been observed to potentially inhibit melanin production, contributing to skin brightening, and strengthens the skin barrier through the regulation of keratinocyte proliferation and activation of the aryl Hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), which is crucial for protecting against transepidermal water loss and UV damage. Anti-inflammatory properties may also contribute to calming irritation and potentially aiding in acne management.
