Functions
Skin Protecting
Helps rebuild and strengthen your skin barrier — the invisible shield that keeps moisture in and irritants out. Essential after over-exfoliating or harsh weather.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Nourishes & Protects
Traditional Use
A fermentation-derived ingredient from the yeast Pichia anomala. Developed in modern cosmetics for its potential skin-conditioning and bioactive properties from yeast-derived compounds.
