Overview

Saccharomyces/Iron ferment is a special biotechnological ingredient that serves to supplement iron to the skin.

According to the patent description, this ingredient is made by feeding iron minerals to Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a species of single-cell yeast that is used for making beer, wine, baker’s yeast, and other fermented products.

The yeast cells have the ability to turn inorganic iron minerals into an organic form of iron - the so-called chelated iron. The advantage of chelated iron is mainly the improved absorption (chelated iron is believed to penetrate the skin more readily than its inorganic counterpart).

Iron is essential for the creation of DNA and oxygen metabolism. Recent studies suggest that a sufficient amount of absorbable iron may increase elastin production in the skin.
