About

A multi-mineral fermented yeast complex restricted under EU Annex II/297 due to concerns around germanium and selenium content.

Saccharomyces/Zinc/Magnesium/Calcium/Germanium/Selenium Ferment is a complex fermented ingredient enriched with six different mineral ions. While zinc, magnesium, calcium and selenium have established roles in skin health, germanium compounds have raised toxicity concerns and selenium is restricted under EU Annex II/297. Formulators must ensure compliance with strict concentration limits for selenium and germanium.
