Candida Bombicola/Glucose/Methyl Rapeseedate Ferment

The details

This ingredient is a biosurfactant ferment made when the yeast Candida bombicola ferments glucose plus methyl rapeseedate. This kind of ferment is best known for producing sophorolipids (a family of glycolipid biosurfactants) which brands use as mild cleansing agents. What it does; Lab work on purified acidic sophorolipids suggests they can be less cytotoxic/irritating in skin-model testing than a common harsh surfactant (SLES) at the tested conditions. By the way, the final cosmetic ingredient does not contain live yeast. It’s a processed fermentation-derived ingredient.
