Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract + Salicylic Acid
Cryo-protective Marine Glycoprotein and Anti-Aging Antioxidant for Clearer, Healthy Looking Skin
Antarcticine is a marine glycoprotein from Pseudoalteromonas antarctica, used at 1 to 5% for the look of better-hydrated, plumper skin — particularly in cold, dry weather.
This is a formulation ingredient, not a finished serum. Do not apply it undiluted.
INCI: Water (Aqua), Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract, Salicylic Acid, Sodium Hydroxide
Note the salicylic acid — it is present at a low level as part of the supplied material. If you are sensitive to BHAs, factor that in.
0.5 fl oz blue glass dropper bottle. Paraben-free.
The organism is collected from the cold glacial waters of Admiralty Bay, King George Island, in the Antarctic. It is a cryoprotective glycoprotein — the molecule that helps the organism cope with extreme cold. In skincare it is used for the look of skin that holds its moisture better through winter.
