Saccharomyces … Ferment Filtrate

This ingredient is a fermented filtrate combining Saccharomyces (a yeast), pineapple fruit juice, and hydrolysed collagen. The fermentation process breaks down the components into smaller molecules that can be more readily absorbed by the skin. Pineapple contains natural enzymes called bromelain, which have mild exfoliating properties, whilst the fermented collagen provides amino acids that support skin structure.The ingredient functions primarily as an emollient and skin conditioner, helping to soften and smooth the skin's surface whilst supplying hydration and amino acid precursors that s…

Helps with Anti-Ageing

The bromelain enzyme in pineapple works by gently breaking down protein bonds on the skin's surface, encouraging the natural shedding process without causing irritation if used appropriately. The fermentation process enhances bioavailability, making the nutrients more accessible to the skin.The hydrolysed collagen and amino acids derived from fermentation are absorbed into the outer layers of the skin, where they support hydration and contribute to the skin's structural matrix. This combination approach aims to both gently refine skin texture and provide nourishment.

This ingredient is typically found in serums, essences, and treatment masks. If the product contains bromelain, introduce it gradually if you have sensitive skin, starting with 2–3 times per week to assess tolerance. Avoid application immediately before sun exposure without adequate SPF protection. It works well layered with hydrating serums or moisturisers to maximise hydration benefits.

Generally well-tolerated in cosmetic formulations. Those with pineapple sensitivity or very reactive skin should patch-test first, as bromelain can occasionally cause mild irritation or redness in sensitive individuals.
