Saccharomyces/Chromium Ferment Extract Filtrate

Saccharomyces/Chromium Ferment Extract Filtrate is a filtrate derived from the fermentation of Saccharomyces (baker's yeast) in the presence of chromium. The fermentation process breaks down the yeast cells, releasing beneficial compounds and creating a nutrient-rich liquid that is then filtered to remove solid particles.In skincare formulations, this ingredient functions primarily as a skin conditioner. It is designed to help improve the texture and feel of the skin, working to support hydration and maintain a smoother, more even skin surface.

Fermented ingredients work by delivering amino acids, peptides and other molecules produced during fermentation that the skin can utilise. These compounds are small enough to be absorbed or interact with the outer layers of skin, where they support hydration and help maintain the skin's structural integrity.The chromium component may contribute additional properties, though the precise mechanism in this particular ferment filtrate remains understudied. The filtration step removes larger particles, leaving a lightweight liquid that can be easily incorporated into various formulation types.

This ingredient is typically found in serums, essences and hydrating toners where it can be applied directly to clean skin. Use morning and evening as part of your regular routine. Allow the product to absorb fully before applying other treatments. It can be layered with other hydrating or active ingredients, though patch testing is sensible if you are combining multiple new products.

This ingredient is generally well tolerated across skin types. Those with yeast sensitivities or fungal sensitivities should exercise caution and perform a patch test before full application.
