Key benefits

A more energised complexion

BioMic™ Fermentate modulates the skin’s energy metabolism, supporting a healthier, more energised looking complexion.

How does it work?
A more energised complexion

Improved skin elasticity

By stimulating elastin production in the epidermis, BioMic™ Fermentate helps support the skin’s natural elasticity over time.

How does it work?
Improved skin elasticity

Protection against oxidative stress

Its antioxidant and antiradical properties help neutralise free radicals, protecting the skin from oxidative stress.

How does it work?
Protection against oxidative stress

Supports skin regeneration

As a highly bioavailable postbiotic, BioMic™ Fermentate is easily absorbed and supports the regeneration of epidermal tissue.

How does it work?
Supports skin regeneration

A postbiotic elixir from Saccharomyces boulardii

Postbiotics are the beneficial, non-living components that microorganisms produce during fermentation: metabolites, cell wall fragments and enzymes. BioMic™ Fermentate is obtained by fermenting and lysing a selected probiotic strain of Saccharomyces boulardii, a yeast known for its rich metabolome of organic acids, amino acids, phenolic acids, nucleosides and vitamins.

Fermentation takes place in bioreactors under controlled conditions to maximise metabolite and enzyme expression. The yeast is then lysed to release an elixir of small, highly bioavailable molecules that communicate directly with the epidermis, supporting its energy metabolism, elasticity and regeneration.

Formulation guidance

How to formulate with BioMic™ Fermentate

  • Use level: 2 to 5%.
  • Form: water-soluble liquid, orange to brown, preserved with sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate.
  • Process: add below 40°C in the cool-down phase, target pH around 5 to 5.4 as in the reference formulations.
  • Applications: skin, body, hair and sun care; anti-ageing face care, elasticising body care and hand care.
  • Combinations: with TetraGold® for a complete biotech hydration and firmness concept, with HydrActive™ Almond Oil for nourishing textures.

BioMic™ Fermentate

Fermentation instead of extraction

Fermentation is one of the oldest natural processes used by humans. BioMic™ Fermentate applies it with a probiotic yeast under controlled conditions, which gives an environmentally friendly, natural ingredient with high bioavailability, COSMOS approval, natural origin under ISO 16128 and a biodegradable profile. Produced by Active Cells Biotechnology, distributed by Azeco.

Frequently asked questions about BioMic™ Fermentate

The questions formulators ask most about BioMic™ Fermentate: postbiotics, INCI, use levels, applications and certifications.


BioMic™ Fermentate is produced by Active Cells Biotechnology in Italy and distributed by Azeco Cosmeceuticals.

The selected yeast ferments in state-of-the-art bioreactors under controlled conditions to maximise metabolite and enzyme expression. After bioactivation, the yeast is lysed to release an elixir rich in active biomolecules.

Saccharomyces boulardii is a probiotic yeast known for its rich metabolome, including organic acids, amino acids, phenolic acids, nucleosides and vitamins. Substrates fermented with this yeast are known to have enhanced biological properties.

The INCI name is Saccharomyces ferment lysate filtrate, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate. BioMic™ Fermentate is a water-soluble, orange to brown liquid.

Postbiotics are the beneficial, non-living components that microorganisms produce during fermentation, such as metabolites, cell wall fragments and enzymes. They are easily absorbed and can act on several epidermal pathways at the same time.

BioMic™ Fermentate is a postbiotic active obtained by fermentation and lysis of a selected probiotic strain of Saccharomyces boulardii. The result is a mix of bioactive metabolites that supports energy metabolism, elasticity and antioxidant protection of the skin.

Yes. The brochure includes an anti-ageing hand cream with a silky finish and an elasticising body cream that improves the look of skin tone.

Store BioMic™ Fermentate at 25°C ± 5, protected from light. Under these conditions the shelf life is 18 months.

Yes. BioMic™ Fermentate is preserved with sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate, which are part of its INCI name.

Yes. BioMic™ Fermentate is a water-soluble, orange to brown liquid that is easy to add to the water phase or the cool-down phase.

BioMic™ Fermentate is suitable for skin care, body care, hair care and sun care, with a focus on anti-ageing face care, elasticising body care and repairing hand care.

The suggested use level is 2 to 5%. Add BioMic™ Fermentate below 40°C in the cool-down phase; the reference formulations are adjusted to a pH of about 5 to 5.4.

Yes. It combines well with TetraGold® for a complete biotech hydration and firmness concept, and with HydrActive™ Almond Oil for nourishing textures.

Yes. Because it acts on several epidermal pathways at once, energy, elasticity and antioxidant protection, BioMic™ Fermentate fits anti-ageing face care, hand care and elasticising body care.

Probiotics are living microorganisms. Postbiotics are the non-living components they produce, such as metabolites and cell wall fragments. That makes postbiotics stable, easy to formulate and well suited to cosmetic products.

BioMic™ Fermentate modulates the skin's energy metabolism, stimulates elastin production in the epidermis, has antioxidant and antiradical properties and supports the regeneration of epidermal tissue.
