About
A yeast-derived peptide complex carrying thiamine (vitamin B1) — used to condition skin. Generally well tolerated, though clinical evidence is limited.
Thiamine/Yeast Polypeptide is a hybrid ingredient made by fermenting yeast in the presence of thiamine (vitamin B1), yielding short peptide fragments associated with the vitamin. It functions as a skin-conditioning agent, intended to deliver B1 in a more skin-compatible matrix than the free vitamin. There is no specific CIR review; safety relies on the broader track record of yeast hydrolysates and B-vitamin 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, so claims should be treated as suggestive rather than proven.
