SACCHAROMYCES/ZINC FERMENT.

Valuable / SKIN CONDITIONING

Saccharomyces/Zinc Ferment is a bio-fermented complex, precisely engineered by fermenting Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast with zinc ions. This advanced ingredient offers multifaceted benefits, including potent antioxidant defense, enhanced skin hydration, and a significant calming effect on irritated skin.

Antioxidant Hydrating Anti-inflammatory Skin Brightening Collagen Stimulator Skin Conditioning

Science

Functioning as a mineral-glycopeptides complex, Saccharomyces/Zinc Ferment capitalizes on the enhanced bioavailability of zinc through fermentation. It actively neutralizes free radicals, thereby mitigating oxidative stress on skin cells and contributing to the reduction of visible aging signs. The ingredient fortifies the skin's barrier, significantly improving its capacity to retain moisture for a visibly plumper and more hydrated complexion. Its anti-inflammatory properties effectively soothe irritation, reducing redness and discomfort often associated with conditions such as rosacea, eczema, and acne. Furthermore, it helps to balance skin tone by inhibiting melanin production, addressing concerns of hyperpigmentation. Crucially, this ferment stimulates collagen synthesis, a vital protein for maintaining skin structure, firmness, and elasticity. The fermented zinc component is believed to penetrate the skin more readily, actively participating in extracellular matrix biochemical reactions and enhancing cellular division, repair, and growth. It also serves as a cofactor for key antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase, reinforcing the skin's natural defense systems.
