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.

Key Formulation Benefits:

  • Enhanced Bioavailability: Fermentation converts minerals into more skin-accessible forms for improved efficacy versus standard salts.
  • Multi-Functional Support: Five complementary minerals help boost firmness, clarity, energy, and overall vitality.
  • Easy Processing: Water-soluble liquid; incorporate in the water or cool-down phase of serums, lotions, gels, and toners.
  • Barrier-Friendly: Supplies nutrients that help fortify the skin’s natural functions for a resilient, balanced complexion.
  • Clean & Conscious: Vegan, cruelty-free, and aligned with biotech-driven, fermented skincare trends.
  • Broad Application Range: Effective from daily facial care and anti-aging to specialized scalp and nail care.

A usage range of 1–5% is recommended. For daily-use toners or lotions, start at 1–2%. For concentrated serums or treatment masks, use up to 5%.
Fermentation breaks minerals down into smaller, skin-friendly structures, improving bioavailability. In short, it transforms hard-to-use raw minerals into forms your skin can more readily absorb and benefit from.
Add SS Bio Mineral 5 to the water phase or during the cool-down stage below 40°C (104°F) to protect the delicate fermented components.
It’s very versatile: water-light serums, daily moisturizers, facial mists/toners, anti-aging eye creams, strengthening nail treatments, and nourishing scalp tonics.
Yes. Zinc ferment is helpful for oily or combination skin, while the broader mineral profile supports revitalizing and anti-aging benefits for dry or mature skin.
