Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract, also known as Baker’s Yeast Extract, is a potent antioxidant with anti-aging, hydrating, and soothing properties. The flavonoids present in this ingredient help protect the skin from environmental stressors which cause premature wrinkles. It is a natural humectant that binds water to the skin and helps retain moisture for longer durations. This gives the skin a healthier brighter look. Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract is also used in hair care to nourish the scalp and support stronger hair growth. This extract is widely popular in clean cosmetics due to its natural origin and a strong safety profile. It is used in moisturizers, creams, serums, masks, anti-aging products, shampoos, and conditioners.

What is SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE EXTRACT used for?
- Anti-aging - Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract is loaded with antioxidants such as flavonoids, glutathione, and B vitamins that help neutralize free radicals - preventing wrinkles, fine lines, and dullness. It makes the skin appear more radiant, youthful, and healthy.
- Hydrating - Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract attracts water to the skin and forms a light breathable layer on the surface to prevent moisture loss. This locks in moisture and makes the skin supple and soft, giving it a freshly hydrated look.
- Soothing - Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract has beta-glucans and peptides that calm the skin. It reduces redness, burning, irritation, and sensitivity.
Origin
Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract comes from a type of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) grown in controlled fermentation tanks using a nutrient-rich medium. This yeast is also popular in the food industry and is often used in baking and brewing. Once the yeast is grown, the medium is gently heated to break down the cells and release all its nutrients. The medium is then filtered to remove the cells. The clear, nutrient-rich solution left behind is Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract. It is sometimes concentrated and standardized for use in cosmetics.
