How to Use SS Bio Mineral 5 in Your Formulations
What SS Bio Mineral 5 Does
Think of SS Bio Mineral 5 as a multivitamin for the skin. It delivers five essential minerals—Silicon, Magnesium, Copper, Iron, and Zinc—in a highly effective, bio-fermented form. In their raw state, minerals can be difficult for the skin to absorb. Fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae essentially “pre-digests” them, transforming the minerals into smaller, yeast-derived complexes the skin can recognize and utilize. The result is improved bioavailability and a potent nutrient boost that supports overall skin vitality.
For the technical formulator, this complex presents minerals as bio-chelated glycopeptides. Fermentation enhances activity and bioavailability, supporting key enzymatic processes such as collagen synthesis, antioxidant defense, and cellular energy production—pathways fundamental to firmer, clearer, more resilient-looking skin.
- Silicon: Supports firmness and elasticity.
- Magnesium: Essential for cellular energy and a well-rested, vibrant look.
- Copper: Critical for collagen and elastin synthesis.
- Iron: Helps energize skin and improve tone, reducing dullness.
- Zinc: Clarifies and helps balance oil for a calmer-looking complexion.
Formulation Tips
SS Bio Mineral 5 is water-soluble and easy to use at 1–5%. Start lower (1–2%) for daily-use products and increase to 5% for targeted serums or treatments.
Add to the water phase or during cool-down below 40°C (104°F) to protect the delicate fermented fractions. With a naturally acidic pH of ~3.5–4.5, it suits formulas on the acidic side of the spectrum and is compatible with common actives like hyaluronic acid and niacinamide.
Appearance may be slightly hazy or form a light sediment over time; this is normal for fermentation-derived materials. Mix or shake well before use to ensure uniformity.
