Science

Mechanism of Action

This ferment extract delivers a rich blend of low-molecular-weight peptides, amino acids, nucleotides, vitamins, trace minerals, and polysaccharides, including beta-glucan, directly to the skin. It functions as a humectant, drawing moisture into the skin, while its antioxidant properties combat free radical damage. The extract helps reduce inflammatory responses, stimulates collagen synthesis, and supports cellular regeneration by boosting ATP production. Furthermore, it improves microcirculation and oxygen uptake, contributing to a more balanced skin microbiome and a strengthened epidermal barrier.

Key findings

  1. 01 In a 30-day daily application study, formulations containing 5% Saccharomyces cerevisiae extract significantly improved skin hydration, refined microrelief, enhanced skin texture, reduced transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and increased skin brightness compared to a control group.
  2. 02 Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate, a related ingredient, is recognized for its ability to enhance overall skin health, reduce inflammation, stimulate collagen production, improve elasticity, and minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in leave-on products. It also strengthens the skin's natural barrier function and provides moisturizing effects.

Sensitization risk Low

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has issued an 'Insufficient Data Announcement' for a broader group of yeast-derived ingredients, including Saccharomyces Ferment, requesting additional sensitization data. However, the parent yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is classified as 'Generally Recognized As Safe' (GRAS) by the FDA for food use at levels up to 5%. Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract itself has a well-established history of safe use in cosmetic applications, with recommended concentrations up to 5% in both rinse-off and leave-on products.
