Specific yeast strains can make skin care ingredients penetrate ten layers of the epidermis
Specific yeast strains used in fermented skincare produce biosurfactants that allow active ingredients to penetrate ten layers of the epidermis, significantly outperforming synthetic humectants in long-term hydration.
Traditional fermentation techniques in beauty science utilize specialized yeast strains like Galactomyces to break down ingredients into molecular weights small enough to bypass the skin's natural barriers. While standard hyaluronic acid molecules are often too large to sink deep, these fermented fragments can penetrate ten layers of the epidermis. This process reduces interfacial tension by 40 dynes per centimeter, allowing the formula to fuse with the skin's lipid membrane.
