Looking for hydrated and radiant-looking skin? Discover Alteromonas ferment extract, a marine-derived ingredient made by fermenting Alteromonas bacteria.
Alteromonas thrives in seawater. Brands describe this extract as being created by marine microorganisms in the deep waters of the Iroise Sea in France. With its high molecular weight and good compatibility with the skin, it is used in skincare as a smoothing, skin-conditioning ingredient that can help skin look more lifted and plumper, and soften the look of lines. Brands highlight its role in supporting skin’s natural hyaluronic acid and giving an immediate smoothing effect.
