Saccharomyces/Rice Ferment

What is Saccharomyces/Rice Ferment?

Saccharomyces/rice ferment is the dynamic duo of brightening and barrier support—a specialized ingredient created when specific yeast strains ferment rice, breaking down its components into a potent cocktail of kojic acid, vitamins, and amino acids. This fermentation process creates entirely new beneficial compounds that weren't present in either the original rice or yeast. Think of it as a collaborative masterpiece between two distinct organisms, each contributing unique elements to create something greater than the sum of its parts. It's the skincare equivalent of a perfect musical duet—two distinct voices harmonizing to create a more beautiful result than either could achieve alone. For those dealing with both uneven tone and compromised barriers, this ferment offers multidimensional benefits that address pigmentation while simultaneously strengthening skin's foundational health, creating a more resilient and radiant complexion.
