Yeast Extract

Yeast extract is a silky, clear liquid derived from yeast (usually Saccharomyces cerevisiae or Torula yeast).

This ingredient has plenty of skin benefits:

• It contains beta-glucan, a great skin soothing and protecting ingredient.
• It also contains glucosylceramides, a skin barrier strengthening ingredient.
• As a probiotic, this ingredient supports a healthy microbiome and skin barrier.
• It is rich in antioxidants, B vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids.

Bioferments of yeast and soy have been found to reduce hyperpigmentation at low levels.

Due to its fatty acid content, this ingredient may not be fungal-acne safe.
