YARROWIA/FISH SCALE/SKIN EXTRACT FERMENT LYSATE

Description

Yarrowia/Fish Scale/Skin Extract Ferment Lysate is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the fermentation of Yarrowia lipolytica yeast with fish scale and skin extracts. This unique combination harnesses the power of biotechnology to create a potent complex rich in proteins, amino acids, and bioactive compounds.

The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability and efficacy of the natural components, making them more easily absorbed by the skin. This ingredient is known for its moisturizing and barrier-strengthening properties, helping to improve skin hydration and reduce transepidermal water loss.

Research suggests that Yarrowia/Fish Scale/Skin Extract Ferment Lysate may also possess antioxidant and anti-aging benefits, potentially helping to protect the skin from environmental stressors and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Its composition includes peptides and polysaccharides that can support skin elasticity and firmness.

In skincare formulations, this ingredient is typically used in serums, creams, and moisturizers targeting skin hydration, barrier function, and anti-aging concerns. It is generally well-tolerated by most skin types, though individuals with fish allergies should exercise caution when using products containing this ingredient.
