Saccharomyces/Barley Seed Ferment Filtrate
Science & Benefits
This ferment is produced by fermenting barley seeds with Saccharomyces yeast, creating a filtrate rich in Beta-Glucans and amino acids. Beta-Glucans are the 'gold standard' for deep-tissue hydration and skin-soothing; they have been shown to penetrate deeper than Hyaluronic Acid. This ingredient is particularly effective at reducing the redness and 'heat' associated with active acne lesions. It is entirely non-comedogenic and provides an antioxidant shield that prevents environmental pollutants from clogging the pores. It is a high-value ingredient for maintaining a calm, resilient, and hydrated skin barrier during inflammatory breakout cycles.
Safety Alerts
