Saccharomyces/Rice Ferment Filtrate
What is Saccharomyces/Rice Ferment Filtrate?
Saccharomyces/Rice Ferment Filtrate is a cosmetic ingredient produced by fermenting rice with Saccharomyces yeast, followed by filtration to capture the nutrient-dense liquid. This process breaks down rice starches into bioavailable amino acids, peptides, vitamins, and polysaccharides. Commonly incorporated into moisturizers, serums, and toners, it acts primarily as a humectant and emollient. In formulations, it draws moisture to the skin's surface, forms a lightweight protective layer, and enhances overall texture without greasiness. The fermentation enhances the bioavailability of rice-derived antioxidants and nutrients, supporting the skin's natural barrier function while promoting a smooth, supple feel.
