Saccharomyces/Rice Ferment Filtrate Extract

Saccharomyces/Rice Ferment Filtrate Extract is produced by fermenting rice using Saccharomyces (baker's yeast), then filtering the resulting liquid to create a concentrated extract. This fermentation process breaks down rice compounds into smaller, potentially more bioavailable molecules.In skincare formulations, it functions primarily as an antioxidant and skin conditioning agent. The extract contains compounds that may help neutralise free radicals and support the skin's natural protective mechanisms.

The fermentation process creates bioactive compounds within the rice extract that function as free radical scavengers. These molecules can donate electrons to unstable free radicals, rendering them harmless and preventing them from damaging skin cells.Additionally, the extract may support the skin's own protective systems and conditioning properties, though the precise mechanisms in topical application require further investigation.

This ingredient is typically incorporated into serums, essences and moisturisers. Use as directed by the product instructions—usually daily application as part of your morning or evening routine. It pairs well with other antioxidants and hydrating ingredients, though no specific combinations are strongly contraindicated.

Saccharomyces/Rice Ferment Filtrate Extract is generally well-tolerated by most skin types. Those with yeast sensitivities or fermented ingredient sensitivities may wish to patch test first.
