POLYLYSINE

A fermentation-derived ingredient that helps rebalance oily skin while supporting clarity, comfort, and a healthy skin ecosystem.

Ingredient PROFILE

WHY YOUR SKIN LOVES IT

Our polylysine helps improve the quality of surface oils rather than stripping the skin, supporting a more balanced, comfortable complexion. It is especially well suited for oily and blemish-prone skin, where excess oil can contribute to congestion or imbalance. By working at the skin’s surface, polylysine helps create an environment that supports skin clarity while remaining gentle and well tolerated. Lightweight and non-greasy, it integrates seamlessly into formulas without disrupting the skin barrier or leaving a heavy feel. Selected for its ability to deliver effective oil-balancing benefits without harshness, polylysine offers a gentler alternative to traditional acne- or oil-control ingredients.

WHERE IT COMES FROM

Our polylysine is a fermentation-derived ingredient made from plant-based materials using biotechnology processes commonly used in food and personal care. Fermentation is a time-tested approach that enables consistent quality, precise control, and high purity, while avoiding petrochemical synthesis. The ingredient is developed using established biotechnology expertise and is formulated without palm-derived raw materials.

HOW IT’S THOUGHTFULLY MADE

Polylysine is produced through a controlled fermentation process that relies on naturally occurring biological pathways rather than aggressive chemical reactions. The ingredient is processed using gentle, water-based methods designed to preserve its structure and functionality. Final processing steps are designed to maintain ingredient stability and skin compatibility, resulting in a material that performs effectively while remaining well tolerated. Throughout development, design choices prioritize ingredient integrity, biodegradability, and compatibility with a wide range of skin types.

WHY IT MATTERS

Each batch of polylysine is produced within a controlled manufacturing system that supports consistent quality and performance. The ingredient is made to defined internal specifications and evaluated for safety, stability, and suitability for cosmetic use. Fermentation-based production uses renewable inputs and operates under mild conditions, supporting a lower-impact approach compared to traditional chemical synthesis. By choosing fermentation and avoiding palm-derived materials, this ingredient reflects a more thoughtful approach to formulation, one that balances efficacy, skin comfort, and environmental consideration.
