The Korean Pink Yeast, a new moisturising and soothing way

The Korean-originated new active ingredient, based on Aureobasidium pullulans, is a pink yeast derived from the Jeju King cherry blossom. It has a particular soothing and moisturising effect thanks to its film forming ability; those properties have been confirmed by different in vitro and in vivo tests. It can be used in serums, lotions and creams formulations because of its specific texture. This article aims to show the relevance of the local flora, how important it is to value and respect it and how nature can always surprise us with the discovery of new active ingredients that can make changes to our bodies, improving their characteristics and appearance.
