About

Baker's/brewer's yeast — used in skincare for its vitamin-rich fermentation byproducts. Helps brighten skin and boost cellular renewal.

Saccharomyces refers to one or more species of the yeast genus Saccharomyces (commonly S. cerevisiae). In cosmetics, it provides B-vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and beta-glucans that support skin metabolism and barrier function. Yeast-derived ingredients have gained popularity in K-beauty for their fermentation-driven benefits. The organism itself and its extracts/lysates are generally well-tolerated. No GHS hazards or EU restrictions.

Known concerns

  • Fermented ingredients can occasionally worsen fungal acne (pityrosporum folliculitis)
