About YARROWIA/FISH SCALE/SKIN EXTRACT FERMENT LYSATE

A fermented lysate combining fish scales and skin with Yarrowia yeast, providing humectant and skin conditioning benefits.

Detailed Analysis

Yarrowia lipolytica fermentation of fish by-products (scales and skin) generates protein hydrolysates, collagen peptides, and mineral content for skin conditioning. The EU CosIng database flags entry 419 of Annex II, requiring origin verification under Regulation 1069/2009 to ensure fish materials are not from specified risk categories. Fermentation processing reduces but does not eliminate BSE/TSE concerns for animal-derived ingredients.
