What Else You Need to Know:
The story of this essence begins with a chance observation at a sake
brewery in Japan, where scientists noticed that the elderly brewers had
wrinkled faces but extraordinarily youthful-looking hands. This sparked
an intensive study of millions of yeast strains and hundreds of
fermentation conditions.
Nowadays, every drop of this essence is
produced by cultivating one exclusive yeast strain under the most
stringent conditions (SK-II’s most valuable trade secret). The formula
has remained essentially unchanged for almost 40 years, as its full
benefits continue to be discovered to this day. A miracle ingredient,
Pitera represents the power of nature when harnessed by advanced
technology.
