Powerful energy source for hair and skin.

It’s about yeast in cosmetics.

Application of yeast for cosmetic purposes began in ancient times. Our ancestors noticed that brewer’s yeast removes irritations from mosquito bites, reduces youthful acne, has the ability to smooth wrinkles and narrow pores. Rinsing hair leads to extra shine and revitalization.

Today yeast is actively used in cosmetology in the form of a yeast extract or hydrolyzate. They are a powerful energy source providing the process of renewal of skin cells, epidermis.
Yeast, which is used in cosmetics as a yeast extract, serves as a powerful energy source that promotes the renewal of skin cells and improves the metabolism of the dermis and epidermis.

Some people think that such a biologically active additive as yeast is a remnant of the past, but for today it is a natural component that will help to cope with oily skin and nourish the fading skin. It is necessary to note such basic actions of yeast on the skin as:

  • Antioxidant action
  • The activator of metabolic processes, stimulating oxygen consumption and the synthesis of ATP. by activating the mitochondria in the skin cells, thus activating the process of renewal and rejuvenation.
  • Protection of the skin from the influence of external factors (contaminated environment and external free radicals)
  • Promote skin protection from photo damage.
  • Promote nutrition and hydration of the skin, improving its microrelief.
  • Seboreguliruyuschaya function (reducing the production of sebum and balancing the work of the sebaceous glands)

To enhance the action of yeast, they are combined with ultra-violet filters, obtaining on the output formulations for protective agents of sun rays with an additional anti-age effect. In combination with a component such as sorbitol, cosmetologists work to strengthen the protective functions of the skin, reduce redness and inflammation, accelerate the healing of the skin, and help reduce the appearance of stretch marks on the skin. To obtain a more pronounced rejuvenating effect I use small particles of yeast molecules – polysaccharides, these molecules help to collect, retain and tighten the moisture to the surface of the epidermis. The result is a more resilient skin, and wrinkles are “pushed out” from the nutria, the skin becomes even and younger. Also, the component of the yeast extract Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is able to reduce the prolongation of dark circles under the eyes, by improving local microcirculation.

 Who is useful in yeast?

          • For fading skin, when complex against age-related care, as an agent for wrinkles.
          • For skin care with excessive fat content, and complex treatment of acne.
          • To restore the color of the skin, fighting with earthy skin color.
          • As a healing agent.
          • To repair damaged hair.

Contraindications

This is one of the safest ingredients in cosmetics. The main issue to extracts of yeast from experts is its increased absorption of skin. No other studies have found any contraindications to using it in cosmetics.
Where to use.

According to the Regulation of the European Union, the affective concentration of yeast extract in cosmetics for skin care is 2-4%. In hair care products, the recommended intake dose is 0.5%.

Yeast extract is actively added to tonics, creams, peelings, face masks in shampoos, balm masks. For example, TM Doctor Herbal uses brewer’s yeast hydrolyzate in the line for caring for weakened, thin, damaged hair in Energy Shampoo and Mask Balm “On brewer’s yeast with linseed oil.” In this line, developed by the specialists of the French company Global Di Co, yeast hydrolyzate is used for active nutrition of onions, strengthening the structure and stimulating hair growth. To enhance the effect of yeast in the formulation, flaxseed oil was added, which envelops the hair along the entire length, strengthening and giving softness to the touch. Ginger extract, as an activator of metabolic processes to the scalp, to stimulate hair renewal.

Burdock oil “Brewer’s yeast” TM Doctor Herbal is specially designed for the active restoration of brittle and dropping hair. The use of burdock oil with active additives is not just an additional care, but prevention and treatment of hair. The extract of brewer’s yeast, which is used in TM Doctor Herbal, contains protein, amino acids, vitamin B and minerals (zinc, calcium), which actively feeds the hair follicle, to stimulate the growth of healthy hair.The way of using burdock oil is simple. Spray the oil on the scalp and hair roots with the sprayer, soak in the skin with the help of massaging movements, in order to energize the ends of the hair – apply and at the ends. Put a plastic cap on, roll your head with a towel for 20-30 minutes. The procedure should be carried out 1-2 times a week. To obtain a pronounced effect, use oil for 2 months.
 Where does the extract come from?

For cosmetics I use special deduced strains of yeast, which produce certain enzymes or proteins. Such a method makes it possible to achieve a high concentration of active molecules and, correspondingly, a greater efficiency of the product.

As a rule, Saccharomyces cervisiae (baker’s yeast) is used in cosmetics. The yeast extract itself is available in the form of powder or powder, less often it can be a transparent yellow-brown solution.
