Pseudozyma epicola/Camellia sinensis seed oil/glucose/malt extract/soybean flour/yeast extract ferment filtrate
This ingredient is a mixture obtained through biotechnological fermentation combining the yeast Pseudozyma epicola with several plant-based components: tea seed oil, glucose, malt extract, soybean flour, and yeast extract. It fulfills several roles in a cosmetic formulation: emulsifier (facilitates the mixing of oil and water phases), humectant (attracts and retains water in the formula), and is intended for skin and hair care.
