Saccharomyces/Xylinum/Black Tea Ferment
Science & Benefits
Widely known as Kombucha, this ferment is rich in organic acids (like Glucuronic Acid) and B-vitamins. In clinical applications, it has been shown to improve skin radiance by inhibiting glycation—the process that makes skin look dull and sallow. As a humectant, it provides deep hydration and acts as a prebiotic, supporting a healthy skin microbiome. For acne-prone users, it is a high-value active because it reduces micro-inflammation and helps repair the damage caused by oxidative stress. It is entirely non-comedogenic and serves as a revitalizing 'superfood' that hydrates the skin without adding any lipid burden to the follicles.
