Alteromonas Ferment Extract

Alteromonas ferment extract is a biotechnological product, a mixture of exopolysaccharides from Kopara, a mat of marine microorganisms living on the rims of French Polynesian atolls.

The extract, according to the manufacturer and patent holder, can be used to increase the production of hyaluronic acid and to prevent the degradation of collagen and elastin. The exopolysaccharides are also able to detoxify the skin from heavy metals and regulate the inflammatory processes in the skin.

This effect has been supported by the manufacturer’s experiments, which look very promising, but these claims definitely need more attention from skincare scientists.
