Saccharomyces — Ingredients

What is Saccharomyces?

A bread and beer yeast-derived ferment ingredient effective for hydration and texture improvement

Concentrated vitamins B, amino acids, and minerals from fermentation nourish the skin and brighten its tone.

Key properties & actions

Saccharomyces is a fermented ingredient derived from the yeast used in bread and beer production. During fermentation, nutrients such as B vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and beta-glucan are known to become concentrated. It is cited for a texture that absorbs smoothly into the skin due to its relatively small molecular size, and it is associated with drawing in moisture, refining skin texture, and helping the complexion appear brighter.

How to manage

Saccharomyces is commonly found in fermented essences and first-toner formulations, making it best used immediately after cleansing by pressing it gently into the palms and patting onto the skin. It is generally gentle enough for consistent morning and evening use, and following up with a moisturizing step helps create a more stable overall routine. If tingling or breakouts occur repeatedly in response to fermented ingredients, reducing usage frequency and consulting a dermatologist is recommended.

Good to know alongside

Saccharomyces is frequently compared with other fermented and yeast-derived ingredients such as galactomyces, bifida ferment lysate, and beta-glucan.

Everyday care tips

Fermented ingredients may be sensitive to storage conditions. Keeping the cap tightly closed and storing away from direct sunlight may help maintain the product's efficacy over time.
