Saccharomyces ferment lysate filtrate is an ingredient derived from the fermentation process of the yeast Saccharomyces.
The name describes the structure of the molecule
- "Saccharomyces" refers to a genus of yeasts.
- "Ferment" indicates that the product is derived from the fermentation of these yeasts.
- "Lysate" suggests that the yeast cells have been lysed (broken), releasing their contents.
- "Filtrate" denotes that the product has undergone filtration to remove unwanted particles and cellular components, leaving behind only the beneficial soluble components.
Description of raw materials used in production
- The primary raw material is the Saccharomyces yeast, which is used to kick-start the fermentation process. Other ingredients might include substrates for the yeast to ferment, such as sugars or other nutrients, as well as other components used during the fermentation and filtration processes.
Synthesis process
- Preparation and Inoculation - A nutritious substrate is prepared and inoculated with Saccharomyces yeast.
- Fermentation - The yeast ferments the substrate, producing various compounds.
- Lysis - The yeast cells are broken, usually via physical or chemical processes, to release their contents.
- Filtration - The solution is filtered to remove solid particles and cellular components, resulting in a clear filtrate.
- Packaging - The filtrate is then packaged for sale or further processing.
What it is for and where
Cosmetics
Skin conditioning agent. It is the mainstay of topical skin treatment as it has the function of restoring, increasing or improving skin tolerance to external factors, including melanocyte tolerance. The most important function of the conditioning agent is to prevent skin dehydration, but the subject is rather complex and involves emollients and humectants that can be added in the formulation.
Skin Benefits
- Hydration: This ingredient helps enhance the skin's natural moisture content, promoting smoother, plumper skin.
- Barrier Strengthening: It can strengthen the skin barrier, reducing susceptibility to environmental stressors.
- Anti-Aging: Due to its antioxidant properties, it fights free radicals, which can delay signs of aging.
- Skin Renewal: Encourages skin cell turnover, resulting in a fresher and more youthful complexion.
Usage
- Commonly found in serums, moisturizers, and masks.
