COPENHAGEN, Denmark—Lallemand Health Ingredients launched its Lalmin® range of yeast-based vitamins and minerals for the nutricosmetics industry. The Lalmin range offers yeast-based vitamins and minerals, including a zinc yeast source with antioxidant, hair, nail and skin benefits; and B vitamin yeast, standardized in seven B vitamins, also a source to aid in maintaining healthy hair and skin. Selenium, zinc and B vitamin yeasts are suitable for food supplements promoting healthy skin, nails and/or hair for manufacturers seeking to incorporate health-promoting yeast into their products.

It offers antioxidant properties (sun protection and anti-aging applications), as well as benefits to maintain healthy skin and nails
The processing conditions of Lalmin ingredients preserve the intrinsic nutritional properties of the yeast and its levels of beneficial nutrients such as minerals, micronutrients, dietary fibers, making the yeasts candidates for beauty supplements with a natural image.
