Glutathione is a natural thiol produced by fermentation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast). It is the most abundant thiol in animal cells and is also synthesized in the human body as well as in some archaea, bacteria and proteobacteria.
Glutathione strengthens the natural detoxification system, acts as an antioxidant and combats photo-ageing. It helps to maintain an even skin tone, protects the skin from environmental damage and reduces cellular oxidative stress and inflammation.
