Comparing Bio Yeast Essences and Galactomyces Ferment with DMAE

Based on the discussion and product information, it's challenging to definitively say whether Bio Yeast Essences or Galactomyces Ferment is more effective when mixed with DMAE. Skin response varies greatly from person to person, so what works well for one might not for another. Testing both might be the best approach for your specific skin.

Here's a breakdown based on the information:

• Effectiveness: As noted in the conversation, measuring effectiveness is difficult because individual skin types are so different. Both ingredients offer skin benefits, but their synergy with DMAE and overall results can be highly personal.

• Formulation with DMAE:

  • Bio Yeast Essences (like Beta Glucan or Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate): These are generally considered easier to incorporate into formulations. However, if using DMAE in powder form (which is acidic), pH adjustment is crucial. Natural extracts and ferments can be sensitive to extreme pH levels. If using a pre-pH-adjusted liquid form of DMAE, like DMAE (SkinTight MD™) Liquid, pH adjustment might not be necessary.
  • Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate: This ingredient (often known as Pitera) is typically used at high concentrations. The product descriptions indicate a pH range of 4-7, similar to some yeast extracts. While the conversation didn't detail its specific pH interaction with DMAE powder, the general principle of protecting ferments from extreme pH would apply.

• Example Formulation: The conversation included a successful example formulation using Bio Yeast (likely referring to a Saccharomyces extract like Beta Glucan (Saccharomyces cerevisiae extract) or MYFerment™ Balance (Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate)) with DMAE and Witch Hazel. This suggests good compatibility when formulated correctly.

In conclusion, while Bio Yeast Essences might be slightly easier to formulate with DMAE (especially the liquid, pH-adjusted form of DMAE), the ultimate effectiveness depends on your skin. Both Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate and Bio Yeast Essences can be combined with DMAE, keeping in mind the pH considerations if using acidic forms of other ingredients.
