What is Saccharomyces Magnesium Ferment?
Saccharomyces Magnesium Ferment is a post-fermentation product derived from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermented with magnesium ions, resulting in a complex of magnesium salts, peptides, and amino acids. This biotech ingredient delivers bioavailable magnesium to the skin, supporting cellular energy production and barrier function. It is commonly used in skincare for its hydrating, soothing, and revitalizing properties.

Soothing
Helps reduce the feeling of discomfort and visible irritation by supporting skin calmness, often through anti-irritant, barrier-supporting, or cooling mechanisms.
