Yeast polypeptides, also known as Yeast Polypeptides, are an ingredient that can be found in many products, both in the food and cosmetic industries. They are substances that are formed from yeast that undergo a fermentation process. During this process, proteins are broken down into smaller parts - polypeptides.

In the food industry, yeast polypeptides are often used in bakery products, where they help to stimulate dough rising and improve the overall taste and texture of the final products. Another important area of application is in cosmetics, where these ingredients have a significant effect on skin hydration and regeneration. Yeast polypeptides contain large amounts of amino acids, vitamins and minerals that contribute to the health and beauty of the skin. They are therefore found in many skin care creams, masks and serums. They are also used in hair care products as they promote hair nourishment and strength.
