Saccharomyces … Ferment Filtrate

This ingredient is a fermentation filtrate combining Saccharomyces (a type of yeast), Moringa oleifera seed oil, and glycerin. The fermentation process breaks down these botanicals into smaller, more bioavailable components that can be readily absorbed by the skin.Moringa seed oil is traditionally valued for its fatty acid profile and conditioning properties, whilst the fermentation and glycerin component contribute humectant and skin-conditioning benefits. Together, they work as an emollient to soften and smooth the skin's surface.

The fermentation process enzymatically breaks down the moringa oil and botanicals into smaller molecular components, potentially increasing their penetration and bioavailability compared to unfermented forms. This means the skin can absorb and utilise the conditioning compounds more readily.Glycerin, a well-established humectant, draws water from deeper skin layers and the environment into the stratum corneum, whilst the oil fraction deposits a protective, softening layer on the skin surface. Together, they address both moisture binding and barrier function.

This ingredient is typically found in moisturisers, serums, and conditioners where it contributes to texture and conditioning benefits. Apply to clean, damp skin as part of your regular skincare routine. No special precautions are needed for layering with other products, though as with all emollients, use a quantity appropriate to your skin type to avoid heaviness.

Generally well-tolerated across skin types. Individuals with sensitivities to yeast or moringa may wish to patch-test first, though reactions are uncommon.
