Marine Biotech Skincare for Hydration & Skin Barrier
INCI name: Alteromonas Ferment Extract
Origin
Alteromonas Ferment Extract is derived from the bacterium Alteromonas macleodii, which lives in the extreme conditions of the deep sea. This marine bacterium has evolved unique protective mechanisms to survive under high pressure, cold, and intense UV radiation. Using state-of-the-art biotechnology, the active ingredient is fermented and made usable for skincare.
Production
The extract is obtained through a controlled fermentation process. The bacteria are cultivated under defined conditions, and the valuable bioactive compounds are gently extracted. This process is sustainable, resource-efficient, and yields a highly pure, stable active ingredient.
Effect on the skin
Alteromonas Ferment Extract is one of the most innovative active ingredients in modern cosmetics. It works on several levels:
- Strengthens the skin barrier: The active ingredient supports the skin's natural protective function and helps to retain moisture long-term.
- Protects against environmental stress: It neutralizes free radicals and protects the skin from oxidative stress caused by UV radiation, air pollution, and other environmental factors.
- Regenerates and soothes: The extract promotes skin regeneration and reduces visible redness and irritation.
- Improves skin structure: Regular use leads to visibly smoother, more resilient skin.
Suitable for which skin type
Alteromonas Ferment Extract is particularly suitable for sensitive, stressed, and mature skin. It is well-tolerated and can also be used for reactive skin.
