Ever enjoyed a refreshing drink of sake at your favorite Japanese restaurant? If so, we’re willing to bet you weren’t thinking about what it can do for your skin. Yet it turns out that the process of making sake yields one of the most effective natural skincare products in the world. Allow us to introduce you to galactomyces!
Galacta-what? This mouthful is formally known as galactomyces ferment filtrate. Also called pitera, it’s a type of filtered yeast that results from the fermentation of sake. If that grosses you out a little bit, there’s no need to worry. The filtering process that results in galactomyces means that all the icky stuff like bacteria are removed.
Legend has it that galactomyces was discovered when the hands of older sake brewers remained suspiciously smooth and youthful, despite their otherwise wrinkly appearance.
Passion for this ingredient quickly caught fire in Japan, and it’s now gaining popularity the world over. And for good reason: it works!
It may be easier to ask what this ingredient doesn’t do for your skin. It’s been well-studied, but you don’t need to look to the science to see results. You can see them on your own face. Here’s what you can expect with regular use of a product that contains galactomyces:
Perhaps most importantly, galactomyces is super nutrient-dense. It’s chock full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that protect and nourish your skin. (Thanks Sake!)
Compared to manufactured skincare products, galactomyces is gentle on the skin and safe for just about everyone to use. It may be especially beneficial for you if you have very oily or dull-looking skin or if you would like to reduce the size of your pores. Really, it’s great for anyone who wants their skin to glow and who wants to slow the signs of aging.
Here at Wild Ice, we know the power galactomyces has to give you your best skin. So we’ve made it super easy to incorporate into your skincare routine by adding it to Gaea’s Gala, our refreshing toner spray.
Just a few spritzes of Gaea’s Gala after washing your face will balance your skin’s pH and dose you up with the age-defying power of galactomyces at the same time. And just like all of our products, we keep Gaea’s Gala (and all of the ingredients that comprise it) cold until the very moment we ship it to you, ensuring maximum potency and freshness for the health of your skin.
Mila (pronounced 'mee-luh') is mother of three, wife, and founder of Wild Ice, an all-natural cold-preserved skincare line dedicated to bringing the best of care to women everywhere.

I have the moisturizer cream from Mila at our local farmers market. It's great and not too heavy. Just a few drops and my skin is hydrated and smoother.
I love this body oil. It is light weight, rich in great nutrients for your body. It only requires 3 or 4 pumps, and it hydrates, adding just the right amount of moisture to my dry skin. It has a fresh and mild scent. Very easy on the nose and to me, It smells good enough to eat. It is also a touch of luxury and my treat.
Love the face mask, it has a mild fresh smell, it is so simple to use and adds another layer of nourishment to the skin. It is does not dry my skin and leaves it with a polished glow, and this is great as I work to maintain my aging skin. I really enjoy this mask.
I have been using the facial toner, Cryo-C and the cold cream therapy for a month now! I love the results. My skin is clear, smooth! And a nice new glow!
I have used this product for a while now but this is my first subscription. I Love the value of the package. I am 62 years old and this system has really helped my dry skin and helps minimize my fine lines. I am very pleased with the products and their effectiveness. Thanks Mila for your creation.
I have using Wild Ice toner, Cryo-C, and the Baba Yaga cold cream for about 4 months now. My skin looks and feels so good. I love the hydration these products provide. It leaves my face with a dewy, healthy glow. I highly recommend these products.
I really like this product. It smells and feels wonderful! I would definitely recommend this product!
I purchased the Chrysalis Kinesiology Face Tape. It's the best tape I ever used for my face. I will not do Botox and need something natural and non toxic. There are a lot of different facial tapes and I have tried most of them. This definitely gives the best results! Will buy again.
My search is over for the skin care that does it all! After trying the four step skin care system I purchased at the Rosemary Market 6 weeks ago I have seen a great improvement in my skin tone and pour size. The overall glow without makeup is something I didn't expect to regain as a mature woman. Thank you Mila
I’m loving this gua sha! It’s comfortable in my hand, has multiple types of surfaces for carving out your face, and the serrated edges don’t pull my eyebrows or snag my hairline. It’s wonderful!
Love Love the smell of this product and the way my face feels after use. I would defiantly buy again!
This feels amazing on my skin. And the scent is so beautiful. Wish I could have a body lotion size!!!
Great product! I've used other toners and really do rather this one. Smells great, feeling refreshing. Nice pick me up when spritzed on face and neck.
New to the Wild Ice products.
The smell is amazing. Easy to dispense and absorbs nicely when applied to my face.
I do not keep cold as that is not convenient for me. Will continue to use. Would like to order other products from this line.
I am loving the serum. My skin looks softer and more glowing. I will definitely be adding more products from this line
