Saccharomyces Manganese Ferment Extract
What is Saccharomyces Manganese Ferment Extract?
Saccharomyces Manganese Ferment Extract is a post-fermentation product derived from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermented with manganese ions, resulting in a complex of peptides, amino acids, and minerals. It functions primarily as an antioxidant, skin-conditioning agent, and trace mineral supplement in skincare formulations. The fermentation process enhances bioavailability, allowing the manganese to support enzymatic antioxidant defenses and cellular protection against oxidative stress.
