Saccharomyces/Barley Seed Ferment Filtrate

The details

Saccharomyces/Barley Seed Ferment Filtrate is the filtered liquid you get after Saccharomyces yeast ferments barley seeds. In skincare, it mainly works as a humectant and skin conditioning agent. The fermentation part is interesting: Research on fermented barley by-products shows that fermentation raises free amino acid, phenolic, and mineral content while breaking down larger molecules. This makes it easier for these compounds to absorb into skin and also gives the filtrate antioxidant potential. An in vitro study on young barley extract found it boosted fibroblast survival/ migration after UVB exposure and lowered the enzymes that chew through collagen. Related yeast ferment filtrates point the same direction; rice ferment filtrate increased collagen gene expression and reduced oxidative/inflammatory stress in skin cells. Brands don't typically publish concentrations for this ingredient but it's used in low levels (commonly under a few percent). Overall, this is a nice hydrating ingredient that can be added to any routine. Just keep in mind that the direct clinical proof is still thin at this time.
