Saccharomyces/Silicon ferment is a special biotechnological ingredient that serves to supplement silicon to the skin.
According to the patent description, this ingredient is made by feeding silicon 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 silicon minerals into an organic form of silicon, the so-called chelated silicon. The advantage of chelated silicon is mainly the improved absorption – chelated silicon is believed to penetrate the skin more readily than its inorganic counterpart.
Topically applied silicon provides a soft and velvety after-feel and can help with the healing of scars and skin grafts in medical creams.
