This unique personal care product contains the ability to deliver beneficial vitamins and minerals in order to naturally enhance the beauty of your skin. Niacin or niacinamide are forms of vitamin B3 which are needed to maintain healthy cells throughout the body and can directly affect the aging process. Niacinamide is created when niacin attaches to a molecule called an amide molecule. It is necessary to supply your body with a consistent level of niacinamide because the body cannot store it. Yeast is one of the most natural sources of niacinamide making it a sought after ingredient in the personal care industry. This powerful cell-communicating ingredient is necessary for good health and works to slow down the aging process.
FSS Yeast Extract was developed and is a blend rich in niacinamide, proteins, amino acids, vitamins and minerals in order to provide the skin with superior moisturization and anti-aging benefits. The word yeast comes from Old English word, gyst, and from the Indo European root word yes-meaning boil, bubble or foam. Yeast microbes are probably one of the earliest domesticated organisms. Yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is the most useful types of yeast and has been used in baking and brewing since ancient times. It’s not known when this type of yeast first began being used to bake bread but records indicate it being done by the ancient Egyptians.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae has become quite popular among nutrition enthusiasts for its sugar and gluten free properties and is often included in vegans diets’ as a supplement or flavor enhancer. Nutritional yeast is a good source of protein, vitamins and minerals while also being low in fat and sodium. This type of yeast plays an important role in function, growth and reproduction of cells. The development of using yeast as leavening agents for bread seemed to develop within the same proximity of yeast being used for beer brewing which was decades ago. Yeast became widely known when the first active dry yeast was developed for the US military and is still widely used in military baking today.
Yeast extract started to be used in the cosmetic industry because of its compatibility with the skin as well its powerful anti-aging properties. Yeast extract has a similar composition to yeast but with a different purpose. To produce the yeast extract, yeast proteins are broken down into a mix of smaller protein parts. This special mix provides yeast extract with unique properties. These properties enhance its effectiveness when used in skin and hair care. Niacinamide is the key component of yeast that promotes skin repair and protection while also working as a skin conditioning agent thus preventing a dry, dull look. A deficiency of this vitamin can cause skin to be inflamed and appear blotchy. When topically applied it is known to contain anti-inflammatory properties as well as improving the appearance of aged skin while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is also known to improve skins elasticity and tone, enhance barrier function, minimize the appearance of discolorations and revive the skin to prevent a dry look. FSS Yeast Extract is water soluble and an easy, natural way to incorporate the benefits of niacinamide.
