Saccharomyces/Honey Ferment Filtrate

Saccharomyces/Honey Ferment Filtrate is produced by fermenting honey using Saccharomyces (baker's yeast) and then filtering the resulting liquid. The fermentation process breaks down the honey's complex sugars and proteins into smaller, more bioavailable molecules that skin can more readily absorb.This ingredient functions primarily as a skin conditioner, helping to improve skin feel, texture and hydration. The fermented filtrate contains amino acids, B vitamins and trace minerals that support the skin's natural moisture-binding capacity.

During fermentation, Saccharomyces yeast breaks down honey's larger molecules into smaller peptides and amino acids. This increases the ingredient's bioavailability — essentially making the beneficial compounds in honey easier for the skin to absorb and utilise.Once applied to skin, the filtrate deposits humectant and emollient properties that support the skin's natural moisture barrier, whilst the amino acids and vitamins contribute to skin conditioning and a smoother surface texture.

This ingredient is typically found in serums, essences, toners and moisturisers. Apply after cleansing and before heavier creams to allow the ferment filtrate to absorb fully. It can be used daily as part of a regular skincare routine. If combining with active ingredients like acids or vitamin C, apply this conditioning product after actives have dried to enhance hydration and minimise potential irritation.

Generally well-tolerated across skin types. Those with honey allergies or severe yeast sensitivities should patch test first, though fermentation typically reduces allergenicity.
