Overview

Saccharomyces/Zinc ferment is a special biotechnological ingredient that serves to supplement zinc to the skin.

According to the patent description, this ingredient is made by feeding zinc 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 zinc minerals into an organic form of zinc, the so-called chelated zinc. The main advantage of chelated zinc is the improved absorption – chelated zinc is believed to penetrate the skin more readily than its inorganic counterpart. Zinc is essential for wound healing and the activity of antioxidant enzymes.
