FSS DERMAL RESPIRATORY FACTOR ADVANCED DRK

Utilizing the work of Dr. George Sperti and the more recent working knowledge of the yeast cell, the manufacturer de­veloped a yeast derived extract for topical application, FSS Dermal Respiratory Factor Advanced DRK.

FSS Dermal Respiratory Factor Advanced DRK is produced by prompting live yeast cells to secrete synergistically active com­pounds, by striking the yeast cells with specific wavelengths of UV radiation. Through the use of biofermentation and various filtration techniques, such as tangential flow filtration, this secretion is then isolated and extracted from the live yeast cell. It is these extracts that are responsible for the increase of such phenomena as increased cell respiration, cell proliferations, and cell metabolism.

Commercially Live Yeast Cell Derivative (LYCD) has been used for several distinct purposes, pointing to the overall utility of this material in relationship to the treatment of living organisms. The first widespread use of LYCD began far from the Cosmetic arena. American Home Products utilized LYCD as the active in the well-known anti-hemorrhoid product Preparation H®. Legend has it that some adventurous fashion models brought about the cross­over into cosmetics. Having begun to manifest one of the most visible symptoms of sleep deprivation, the models began to dab LYCD containing creams on the bags under their eyes. As would be expected the swelling subsided, the practice spread by word of mouth, and a core Cosmetic raw material was born.

In North America, South America, and Europe LCYD is primarily used to stimulate oxygen consumption, combat irritation, as, what could probably be best termed, a cosmetic potentiator. The rationale behind increasing oxygen consumption is that the more efficiently a cell consumes oxygen, the less oxygen is available to become excited to form destructive reactive oxygen species (ROS).

The mechanism by which LYCD reduces irritation has only recently become clear with the increased focus on the field of Heat Shock Proteins (Hsp). When cells are subject to stress, be it physical or emotional, they pro­duce a class of proteins that either duplicate functions disabled by the stress, or protect the cell against addi­tional stress. It is speculated that one or more of the components of LYCD is actually a Hsp. Given the similarity between yeast and human cells it is probable that when applied the Hsp(s) help to reduce, or reverse the actual stress presented to the human cell.

Given that LYCD is a global metabolic stimulant, as opposed to working on a single pathway, it is capable of po­tentiating the activity of other active ingredients. While the specific application is covered the possible applications are broad, especially in conjunc­tion with actives such as Retinol, and its associated compounds, where irritation is an unwanted side-effect. Hans A. Schaeffer, widely recognized for his role in popularizing the use of LYCD in the cosmetic field, in conjunction with Henry Calam, were issued a patent (US 5,057,497) for the use of LYCD in maintaining healthy gingival tissue. In Asia, LYCD is primarily used to increase the translucency of skin. Translucency is especially important for whitening applications. The idea being that if skin is more translucent it is much easier to appreciate the evenness of skin-tone achieved with whitening products. Many major Cosmetic Companies such as Pacific, Shiseido, Max Factor, Avon, Coreana, and Kanebo all utilize yeast ex­tracts as a core raw material in their skin care products.
