Yeast Ferment Extract

What is Yeast Ferment Extract?

Yeast ferment extract is the enhanced yeast extract created through additional fermentation—a process that breaks down the already beneficial components of yeast into even smaller, more bioavailable molecules with enhanced efficacy. This double-processed ingredient delivers a concentrated dose of vitamins, peptides, and beta-glucans in their most usable form. Think of it as taking something good and making it even better through patient transformation. It's the skincare equivalent of slow-cooking a stew—the longer process yields richer, more complex benefits than quick methods. For those dealing with stressed, depleted skin that needs comprehensive support, yeast ferment extract offers intensive restoration of multiple aspects of skin function, from barrier integrity to cellular energy, helping skin recover from both chronic stress and acute damage with more noticeable results than unfermented versions of similar ingredients.
