Fermented raw materials in cosmetics
Fermentation is not only a process used in the preparation of food and beverages, but also in the cosmetics industry. Fermentation is a biological process in which microorganisms metabolise organic substances to form new products. This process can take place in different environments and under different conditions.
Fermentation changes the composition of raw materials into bioactive substances that are more easily absorbed by the skin. This means that the use of fermented raw materials can increase the effectiveness and efficacy of cosmetic products. The fermentation process can release or increase the content of beneficial substances such as vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. This increases the nutritional profile of cosmetic products.
Fermentation supports the natural microflora of the skin
Some fermented substances may contain beneficial bacteria that support healthy skin microflora. This balance is important for protecting the skin and maintaining its health.
It can increase the concentration of antioxidants and peptides in raw materials, which helps protect against free radicals and reduce signs of aging such as wrinkles and loss of skin elasticity.
Fermentation of cosmetic ingredients reduces the content of potentially allergenic substances or their aggressiveness, which is a great advantage for people with sensitive skin or susceptibility to allergies. Therefore, if most cosmetics do not suit you, try a formula with fermented ingredients.
Yage has several products that contain fermented ingredients for the skin. For example, our Rose Kiss skin toner contains fermented bamboo. Bamboo water contains natural minerals and antioxidants that hydrate and soothe the skin. Which is exactly what your skin needs after washing and cleansing. The toner balances the skin's acidic environment to restore balance. Skin is better prepared to receive nutrients from aftercare.
Our Secret Veil collagen mist contains fermented Natto gum made from soybeans. Natto gum is up to 10 times more effective than hyaluronic acid. It is a unique natural blend of collagen, vitamins and minerals that is created by fermenting soybeans with microorganisms of the Bacillus genus. The most essential ingredient in this elixir is PGA / POLYGLUTAMIC GAME ACID, which is a plant collagen that is 10 times more effective than hyaluronic acid. It is many times more effective in increasing skin elasticity. PGA facilitates the exfoliation of dead keratin cells, thus giving impetus to the regeneration of its own cells. It increases the production of its own moisturising factors (NMF), i.e. the skin regenerates, moisturises, rejuvenates and plumps itself. No other ingredient in cosmetics can have this effect. In addition to the above unique properties, natto gum visibly reduces wrinkles, locks moisture in the skin, brightens it and creates a soft smooth moisturizing film on the skin.
The Au Revoir Wrinkles cream, on the other hand, contains fermented platinum. Colloidal platinum restores damaged skin and ensures a radiant appearance. The platinum is dispersed so that its particles are microscopic in size. It promotes electron transfer between metal ions that occur naturally in the skin, helping to stimulate cell turnover and natural healing. Platinum, which is known to affect the skin at the cellular level, helps strengthen the skin's supportive matrix structure. It improves skin elasticity, moisturizes the skin and prevents dryness, promoting a youthful and vital appearance. A powerful antioxidant, it promotes skin regeneration and healing. It has a brightening effect and in combination with other ingredients has a strong anti-aging effect. It reduces wrinkles, firms the skin, increases skin elasticity and adds hydration.
Fermented hyaluronic acid is contained in the Aqua Splash moisturising essence. Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide molecule found in various parts of our body. For example, it helps the joints to function. We can call it the "lubricant" of the joints, which is widely used in the treatment of the musculoskeletal system. Other parts of the body cannot do without it either. In the skin it can supply lost hydration. As we age, the production of hyaluronic acid decreases, but the good news is that it can be replenished to the skin, even with the help of, for example, Aqua Splash serum. Fermented hyaluronic acid is the most similar to the hyaluronic acid our body makes itself. It contains molecules of varying sizes and thus penetrates all layers of the skin. It therefore does not only stay on the surface of the skin, but also moisturises it deeply. Aqua Splash contains fermented hyaluronic acid CUBE3, which visibly hydrates the skin even in the deeper layers. Skin is plumper and fine lines are less visible.
