In our reference data, Saccharomyces/Barley Seed Ferment Filtrate can feed Malassezia (fungal acne).
Saccharomyces/Barley Seed Ferment Filtrate is a fermentation-derived filtrate made by culturing Saccharomyces yeast on barley seeds, yielding a filtrate rich in amino acids, peptides, vitamins, and antioxidants. It is used in skincare as a skin-conditioning, hydrating, and antioxidant ingredient that may support barrier function.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Mild irritation or transient stinging | Uncommon | Possible on sensitive or compromised skin, usually mild and temporary. |
Allergic contact dermatitis | Rare | Sensitization to ferment-derived components has been reported infrequently. |
Reaction in individuals with yeast or gluten/barley sensitivity | Rare | Theoretical concern; the filtrate is processed but residual proteins could trigger reactions in highly sensitive individuals. |
Frequencies reflect typical cosmetic use reported in the literature, not a guarantee for your skin.
