SACCHAROMYCES/TRITICUM AESTIVUM SEED FERMENT EXTRACT.

Insufficient Data CAS - / ANTIOXIDANT, HUMECTANT, SKIN PROTECTING

This fermented botanical extract, derived from yeast (Saccharomyces) and wheat (Triticum aestivum) seeds, delivers a concentrated blend of nutrients to the skin. It aims to enhance skin health by supporting barrier function, hydration, and overall vitality through its rich biochemical profile.

Summary

Antioxidant Humectant Skin Protecting Anti-inflammatory Collagen Booster Barrier Support Skin Nourishing Anti-aging Brightening

Science

Mechanism of Action

The extract operates through a multifaceted approach, supplying the skin with vital components such as vitamins (e.g., B, C), amino acids, and beta-glucan. Its primary actions include robust antioxidant protection, aiding in cellular nourishment, and stimulating collagen synthesis to improve skin elasticity. It contributes to strengthening the skin's natural barrier, thereby minimizing transepidermal water loss and offering some protection against environmental stressors. Additionally, its anti-inflammatory properties can soothe irritation. The presence of heat shock proteins (HSPs) may also contribute to cellular repair and anti-aging benefits, while its humectant nature boosts moisture retention.

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Insufficient data
Sensitization risk Moderate

The CIR Expert Panel has indicated 'Insufficient Data' for yeast-derived ingredients (including Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a component of this ferment), citing a need for confirmatory dermal sensitization data for cosmetic applications. Although the FDA generally recognizes Saccharomyces cerevisiae as safe (GRAS) for food use up to 5%, some individuals, particularly those with sensitive skin, may experience localized reactions such as itching or irritation.

Verdict

Insufficient Data

This ferment extract shows promise for skin hydration, barrier support, and anti-aging benefits due to its rich nutrient profile, but comprehensive safety data for cosmetic use, including sensitization and specific concentrations, remains insufficient.
