K-Beauty Secret: Galactomyces: A Fermented Elixir for Radiant Skin

Galactomyces ferment filtrate is a skincare powerhouse and a staple in the world of K-Beauty. Derived from yeast fermentation, galactomyces first gained recognition when workers in sake breweries were found to have remarkably soft and youthful hands. This discovery led to its integration into skincare products, where it has become a beloved ingredient for achieving healthy, glowing skin.

Galactomyces ferment filtrate is a byproduct of sake production. It is rich in vitamins, amino acids, enzymes, and antioxidants, making it a versatile ingredient for addressing various skin concerns. Its primary benefits include hydrating, brightening, and rejuvenating the skin.

Key Benefits of Galactomyces in Skincare

Brightening:
Galactomyces can help inhibit melanin production, reducing dark spots and hyperpigmentation, resulting in a more even and luminous complexion.

Exfoliation:
Natural AHAs (alpha-hydroxy acids) in galactomyces gently exfoliate the skin, promoting cell turnover and refining texture.

Hydration:
By strengthening the skin barrier and reducing transepidermal water loss, galactomyces enhance moisture retention for a dewy, plump appearance.

Anti-Ageing:
Studies suggest that galactomyces may stimulate collagen production, helping to minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Antioxidant Protection:
Packed with antioxidants, it protects the skin from environmental damage and oxidative stress.

Sebum Control:
Galactomyces helps regulate sebum production, making it an excellent choice for oily or acne-prone skin.

Who Can Benefit from Galactomyces?

Galactomyces is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. It is particularly beneficial for:

  • Dull or uneven skin tone.
  • Hyperpigmentation.
  • Acne-prone or oily skin.
  • Ageing skin with visible fine lines or wrinkles.
