Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate – The Proven Yeast Ferment for Hydration, Brightening & Barrier Health
A high‑purity (99%) ferment filtrate of Galactomyces – the same family of active as Pitera™. Rich in B vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and organic acids. Clinically inspired to enhance skin radiance, balance oil, and strengthen the barrier.
Product Overview:
Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate is a natural yeast extract obtained from controlled fermentation of Galactomyces (a genus related to the famous Pitera™). This ferment has been used for over a thousand years – originally discovered in sake breweries, where elderly workers retained youthful, smooth hands. The fermentation process produces a complex mixture of:
-
Vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12 – support skin metabolism and energy production.
-
Amino acids – building blocks of natural moisturising factors (NMF) and collagen.
-
Organic acids – gently exfoliate, balance pH, and improve texture.
-
Polysaccharides – provide deep hydration and film‑forming properties.
-
Minerals – essential for enzymatic reactions in skin cells.
Together, these bioactives deliver multi‑functional skin benefits without harsh chemicals or irritation.
| Benefit | Mechanism / Data |
|---|---|
| 💧 Deep, lasting hydration | Polysaccharides and amino acids bind water; after 3 hours, moisturisation effect continues |
| ✨ Brightening & even tone | Inhibits melanin production in B16F10C2 melanoma cells (lab confirmed); reduces dullness and hyperpigmentation |
| 🛡️ Barrier repair | Strengthens the stratum corneum, reduces TEWL, protects against environmental stressors |
| 🧴 Oil balance & sebum control | Helps regulate excess sebum; refines pores; ideal for combination and oily skin |
| ⚡ Antioxidant protection | Concentration‑dependent scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS) – reduces oxidative stress, prevents photoaging |
| 🌿 Improves skin texture & elasticity | Promotes healthy cell turnover; leaves skin smooth, plump, and resilient |

Proven Efficacy (in‑vitro & anecdotal from classic ferment data):
-
Hydration: Moisturising effect sustained for at least 3 hours after application.
-
Whitening: Suppresses melanin synthesis in B16F10C2 cells (dose‑dependent).
-
Barrier repair: Strengthens corneocyte cohesion and reduces TEWL.
-
Antioxidant: Inhibits ROS generation in a concentration‑dependent manner – protects against wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and pigmentation.
