Alteromonas Ferment Extract: The new superhero of natural cosmetics

The natural cosmetics world has a new star – and it comes from the deep sea. Alteromonas Ferment Extract is the active ingredient that dermatologists and beauty experts are currently talking about everywhere. And it is included in our The Hydrating Serum.

What is Alteromonas Ferment Extract?

Alteromonas is a marine bacterium that survives in the most extreme conditions of the deep sea – under enormous pressure, in cold, and without light. To protect itself, it produces unique bioactive compounds that preserve cells from stress and damage.

Through a gentle fermentation process, these powerful substances are extracted and made usable for skincare. The result: an active ingredient that strengthens the skin at a cellular level – just as the bacterium protects itself in the deep sea.

What makes Alteromonas Ferment Extract so special?

Unlike many classic moisturizing active ingredients, Alteromonas Ferment Extract does not only work on the surface. It works deep within the skin and activates the natural protective mechanisms of skin cells:

  • Strengthens the skin barrier – promotes the production of skin proteins like filaggrin, which are essential for an intact protective layer
  • Protects against oxidative stress – neutralizes free radicals caused by UV radiation, pollution, and stress
  • Promotes cell regeneration – activates the natural renewal of skin cells for visibly younger, more radiant skin
  • Reduces inflammation – soothes irritated, reactive skin and supports healing of a disturbed skin barrier
  • Long-lasting moisture – improves the skin's ability to store and retain moisture

Why is fermentation key?

Fermentation is one of the oldest and most effective methods for refining active ingredients. The fermentation process breaks down the bioactive molecules of the Alteromonas bacterium into smaller, skin-penetrating particles.

This means: The active ingredient penetrates deeper into the skin, is better absorbed, and works more effectively – while ensuring maximum tolerability, even for sensitive skin.
