Science

Mechanism of Action

This ferment functions through the combined actions of its constituent parts. Saccharomyces Ferment contributes a rich array of essential nutrients, including potent antioxidants, peptides, amino acids, vitamins, and enzymes. These compounds are pivotal in reducing inflammation, promoting collagen synthesis for improved elasticity and texture, fortifying the skin's natural barrier, and providing moisturization while combating free radical damage. Malachite Ferment acts as a robust antioxidant, offering defense against environmental pollution and oxidative stress. It supports dermal integrity by stimulating skin cell regeneration, exhibits antimicrobial properties that may help manage acne-causing bacteria, assists in maintaining optimal skin hydration, and is believed to possess anti-inflammatory effects to soothe irritation.

SACCHAROMYCES/MALACHITE FERMENT is recognized in the European Commission's CosIng database as both a skin and hair conditioning agent, signifying its approval for cosmetic use within the EU. However, specific safety assessments by the CIR or SCCS for the combined ingredient are currently unavailable. Concerns regarding potential toxicity, particularly for sensitive skin, have been noted for Malachite ferment (also known as malachite green carbinol ferment). Conversely, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a component source, holds a generally recognized as safe (GRAS) status by the FDA for certain food applications.

Verdict

Questionable

While SACCHAROMYCES/MALACHITE FERMENT presents a promising blend of potential benefits for skin health, the absence of specific clinical efficacy data for the combined ingredient, coupled with moderate irritancy and comedogenicity ratings, and noted safety concerns regarding its malachite component, suggest a cautious approach is necessary for precision formulations.
