About
A yeast-derived peptide complex carrying cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) — used to condition skin. Generally well tolerated; clinical evidence limited.
Cholecalciferol/Yeast Polypeptide is a hybrid ingredient produced by fermenting yeast in the presence of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), yielding short peptide fragments associated with the vitamin. It functions as a skin-conditioning agent, intended to deliver D3 in a more skin-compatible matrix than the free vitamin. There is no specific CIR or SCCS review; safety relies on the broader track record of yeast hydrolysates and topical vitamin D3 carriers, both well tolerated at cosmetic levels. Yeast-derived materials carry a small allergen risk for highly sensitive users. Most efficacy data is supplier-generated and not independently replicated.
