Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions as a cellular powerhouse, enriching the skin with a bio-optimized blend of essential nutrients, amino acids, antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, beta-glucan, polysaccharides, and peptides. It fortifies the skin's natural barrier, enhancing moisture retention by acting as a humectant and protecting against trans-epidermal water loss. Its action extends to promoting collagen synthesis, reducing inflammatory responses, and improving overall skin elasticity, texture, and radiance. Furthermore, it offers robust antioxidant protection against environmental aggressors, calms sensitive skin, and demonstrates potential in inhibiting melanin production and boosting cellular metabolic processes for revitalized skin.

Key findings

  1. 01 Continuous application of a spray containing 5% Saccharomyces boulardii fermented product filtrate over four weeks demonstrated a 37.2% reduction in trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) and a 62.5% increase in stratum corneum hydration.
  2. 02 A formulation incorporating 0.01% (v/v) fermentation residue of Saccharomyces cerevisiae significantly suppressed melanin generation in B16F10 cells and inhibited tyrosinase activity, indicating skin whitening potential.

Dusting Analysis

Commonly dusted

Efficacy has been observed at concentrations as low as 0.01% for specific benefits like skin brightening, while other benefits such as hydration and barrier improvement showed significant results at 5%. This broad range of effective concentrations means that formulations using the ingredient at extremely low levels (e.g., below 0.001%) for general efficacy claims may be considered dusting.
