You may have seen a unique ingredient appearing in some of the most effective skincare: Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate. While the name sounds complex, its purpose is simple. It helps your skin look hydrated, bright, and balanced.
This special ingredient is at the heart of many Nuebiome formulas. Let's explore what it is, how it works, and how you can use it to support your skin’s natural radiance.
What is Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate? (And Why Is It a Skincare Powerhouse?)
Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate is a clear, nutrient-rich liquid. It is created during the fermentation of a specific type of beneficial yeast. Think of it as a vitamin-packed broth for your skin.
It’s important to know that this ingredient is not the yeast itself. Instead, it is the valuable byproduct of the fermentation process. During this process, the yeast breaks down its food source, releasing a potent blend of amino acids, minerals, and vitamins. This resulting liquid, the filtrate, is what gets carefully collected and purified for use in skincare.
The idea of using fermentation for beauty is not new. It has roots in ancient practices, like the long tradition of using fermented rice water for skin benefits. However, modern cosmetic science takes this concept to a new level.
Unlike DIY methods, the fermentation used to create ingredients for Nuebiome products happens in a controlled lab. This ensures every batch is pure, potent, and stable. This scientific precision creates a filtrate that delivers consistent, visible results by supporting hydration, brightening the look of skin, and strengthening the moisture barrier.
The Science of Fermentation: From Yeast to Nutrient-Rich Elixir
Fermentation is a natural process where microorganisms like yeast break down larger molecules into smaller ones. In skincare, this is incredibly beneficial. These smaller molecules can be more easily absorbed by the skin, allowing the nutrients to get where they are needed most.
Fermentation unlocks new nutrients, creating smaller molecules that your skin can readily use.
At Nuebiome, our commitment to Fermentation Science means we use precise, controlled methods. This process not only breaks down compounds but also creates entirely new, skin-loving substances. The resulting ferment is a unique elixir, richer and more complex than the original ingredients. This is why bio-ferments are so effective at nourishing the skin.
This same principle applies to other powerful marine ferments and plant-based ferments used in our formulas. By carefully selecting our starting materials and controlling the fermentation, we produce superior, high-quality ingredients that deliver exceptional results.
5 Key Benefits of Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate for Your Skin
This multitasking ingredient offers a range of benefits that work together to promote a complexion that looks and feels its best.
1. Delivers Deep, Lasting Hydration
Proper hydration is the foundation of visibly healthy skin. Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate is rich in minerals and amino acids that help your skin feel more hydrated from within. It supports your skin’s own natural moisturizing factors (NMFs), which are crucial for maintaining comfortable moisture levels. The result is skin that feels plump, supple, and comfortably hydrated all day.
2. Promotes a Brighter, More Even-Looking Skin Tone
Dullness can be caused by environmental stressors and a buildup of dead skin cells. The vitamins and organic acids in Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate help to gently resurface the skin. This process reduces the appearance of dullness, giving your skin a clearer and more luminous look. With consistent use, your complexion appears more even-toned and vibrant.
3. Provides Antioxidant Support
Our skin is exposed to daily environmental stressors, like pollution. These stressors can lead to visible signs of premature aging. Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate is a source of antioxidants that help defend the skin against these aggressors. By neutralizing damaging free radicals, it helps your skin maintain its youthful appearance and resilience.
4. Soothes and Calms the Skin
If your skin is prone to feeling sensitive or looking red, Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate can offer a sense of calm. Its soothing properties help to comfort the skin, reducing the appearance of irritation. This makes it a wonderful ingredient for those with reactive skin, as it helps maintain a balanced and comfortable complexion.
5. Strengthens the Skin's Moisture Barrier
A strong skin barrier is essential for keeping moisture in and irritants out. The amino acids and minerals found in this filtrate provide the building blocks your skin needs to maintain a robust moisture barrier. A supported barrier means your skin is better equipped to stay hydrated, calm, and protected from the environment.
How to Integrate Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate into Your Skincare Routine
Adding this powerful ingredient to your daily ritual is simple. It works best in water-based formulas like essences, serums, and lightweight moisturizers. For optimal results, apply these products after cleansing and before heavier creams or oils.
Here is a simple, three-step routine to get you started:
Step 1: Gently Cleanse Begin with a clean canvas. A mild, pH-balanced cleanser prepares your skin without stripping away its essential moisture. This allows the subsequent products to work more effectively.
We recommend the Biome Balancing Creamy Cleanser. This soap-free formula uses Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate, a postbiotic that supports a balanced microbiome. It also contains colloidal oatmeal, or Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Flour, to gently lift away impurities while leaving skin feeling soft and comfortable.
Step 2: Apply a Targeted Treatment After cleansing, apply a concentrated serum. Serums deliver potent actives deep into the skin to address specific concerns. A serum with ferments can enhance the delivery of these actives.
For your nightly ritual, consider the Empris-Peony™ Biotic Resurfacing Night Serum. It features Saccharomyces/Xylinum/Black Tea Ferment (Kombucha) to smooth the skin's texture. It is combined with Paeonia Lactiflora Root Extract (Peony) to support clarity and a peptide, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38, which helps soften the look of lines.
Step 3: Moisturize and Protect Finish your routine with a moisturizer to lock in hydration and support your skin barrier. This final step seals in the benefits of your serum and keeps your skin feeling supple.
The Biotic Radiance-Boosting Hydrator is a perfect choice. This silky, oil-free cream uses Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate to support skin balance and 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, a stable form of Vitamin C, to visibly brighten the complexion. It provides lasting hydration without feeling heavy.
This ingredient also pairs beautifully with other common skincare actives, including hydrating heroes like hyaluronic acid and antioxidants like Vitamin C.
Is Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate Safe for All Skin Types?
Yes, Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate is widely considered safe and is well-tolerated by most skin types.
Its soothing and balancing properties make it particularly beneficial for those with sensitive or easily reactive skin. Because it supports the skin’s natural barrier function, it can help improve skin’s resilience over time. For those with blemish-prone skin, its hydrating and calming nature can help create a more balanced complexion without clogging pores.
It offers a gentle yet effective way to achieve naturally radiant, glowing skin.
As with any new addition to your skincare routine, we always recommend patch testing. Apply a small amount of the product to a discreet area, such as behind your ear or on your inner wrist, and wait 24 hours to ensure your skin is comfortable with the formula. If you have known sensitivities, it is always best to consult with a licensed professional.
