Yeast Extract
What is Yeast Extract?
Yeast extract is the cellular stress resilience booster—a nutrient-rich concentration of beneficial compounds extracted from various yeast strains containing vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and beta-glucans. This multifunctional ingredient supports skin's natural repair mechanisms while enhancing its resistance to environmental stress. Think of it as providing a cellular-level nutrition plan that optimizes your skin's performance under pressure. It's the skincare equivalent of a vitamin B complex shot when you're feeling depleted—a comprehensive restoration of fundamental cellular resources. For skin showing signs of stress, fatigue, or accelerated aging from environmental factors, yeast extract delivers essential building blocks that support barrier function, moisture retention, and cellular communication, helping skin recover its natural resilience and radiance through improved fundamental functions rather than temporary surface effects.
