About

A Pichia yeast ferment using methanol and ammonium hydroxide as substrates. Both feedstocks are toxic in pure form, so residual control is critical. Without strict purification data, this sits in the moderate-caution range.

Function

SKIN CONDITIONING

Skin benefits

  • Pichia metabolites can condition skin
  • Glycerin contributes humectant base

Known concerns

  • Methyl alcohol (methanol) is acutely toxic — residual levels must be controlled
  • Ammonium hydroxide is alkaline and corrosive at concentration
  • Limited cosmetic-specific safety dossier
  • Process residues may persist if purification is poor
