With consumers moving towards effective, natural, and clean skincare, honey ferment is turning out to be a dynamic, multifaceted ingredient that combines ancient heritage with cutting-edge science.
What Is Honey Ferment?
Honey ferment is produced when raw honey ferments, most often with Zymomonas mobilis, a type of beneficial bacteria. Fermentation decomposes honey’s natural sugars into bioactive ingredients, producing a nutrient-dense product perfect for skincare. HSH Chemie’s honey ferment is particularly distinct derived from Apis mellifera, a hardy and unusual Swiss bee species.
Advantages of Honey Ferment for the Skin
1. Regulates Sebum Production
Fermented honey is able to decrease oiliness by regulating sebum, creating a more even, matte complexion—perfect for acne or combination skin.
2. Re-establishes Skin Microflora
Excessive cleansing can interfere with the skin’s natural microbiome. Honey ferment facilitates rebuilding and adjusting microflora in the skin, allowing resilience and recovery after cleansing.
3. Reinforces the Skin Barrier
It strengthens the skin’s protective barrier, leaving it stronger against pollution, UV, and irritants, a necessity for city and sensitive skin.
