Saccharomyces/Sugarcane Juice Extract Ferment Extract

Saccharomyces/Sugarcane Juice Extract Ferment Extract is derived from sugarcane juice that has undergone fermentation using Saccharomyces yeast. During fermentation, the yeast breaks down sugars and produces bioactive compounds including amino acids, peptides, and organic acids that differ from the original plant material.In skincare formulations, this ingredient functions primarily as a skin conditioner. The fermentation process generates compounds that can support skin hydration and contribute to overall skin conditioning without occluding the skin surface.

Fermentation transforms the sugarcane juice into a more bioavailable form. The yeast produces enzymes that break down complex molecules into smaller, more readily absorbed compounds. These include amino acids and peptides that can penetrate the outer layers of skin and support natural moisturisation processes.The weak organic acids generated during fermentation may also help maintain skin pH balance and support mild exfoliation, though the degree of exfoliation depends on the concentration and formulation context.

This ingredient is typically used in toners, essences, serums, and creams as part of a broader formulation. Because it is a conditioning agent rather than a targeted treatment, it works well in routine skincare and can be used daily alongside other actives. Apply to clean skin before heavier moisturisers to allow proper absorption.

Generally well-tolerated across skin types. Those sensitive to fermented ingredients or with active yeast sensitivities should patch-test first.
