Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract

What is Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract?

Saccharomyces cerevisiae extract is the baker's yeast that rises to skincare greatness—a nutrient-rich extract derived from the same yeast used in bread and beer making, containing beta-glucans, vitamins, peptides, and amino acids. This adaptable ingredient enhances skin's resilience to stress while supporting its natural repair processes. Think of it as harnessing the power of one of humanity's oldest domesticated organisms, now trained for skincare benefits. It's the skincare equivalent of sourdough starter—a living catalyst that transforms everything it touches through biological processes refined over generations. For those seeking enhanced barrier function, improved hydration, and environmental protection, saccharomyces cerevisiae extract offers comprehensive support through multiple cellular pathways, helping skin better regulate its moisture balance while defending against and recovering from environmental stressors.
