Saccharomyces … Ferment Filtrate

Saccharomyces/Amber Powder/Honey Ferment Filtrate is a fermented extract derived from yeast (Saccharomyces), amber, and honey. The fermentation process breaks down these raw materials into smaller, more bioavailable compounds that can be absorbed by the skin.This ingredient functions primarily as a humectant, meaning it has the capacity to draw and bind water to the skin, helping to maintain hydration levels. It is also used in cosmetic formulations for its potential deodorant properties and as a flavouring agent in oral care products.

As a humectant, this ingredient works by drawing water from the air and deeper skin layers into the outer layers of skin (stratum corneum), which helps maintain hydration. Fermented ingredients may also contain byproducts of the fermentation process, such as amino acids and enzymes, which can support skin health.The fermentation of honey and yeast creates a filtrate rich in hydrating and conditioning compounds, making the ingredient more effective than its non-fermented counterparts would be.

This ingredient is typically used as part of a complete skincare routine and works well in serums, essences, and moisturisers. For best results, apply to damp skin to maximise the humectant effect, and follow with an occlusive product (such as a facial oil or moisturiser) to seal in hydration. It can generally be used daily as part of both morning and evening routines.

Generally well-tolerated across skin types. Those with yeast sensitivities or honey allergies should patch test before full application.
