What is Pseudoalteromonas ferment extract?
Pseudoalteromonas ferment extract (PFE) is a unique Antarctic marine protein that delivers exceptional moisture-binding, skin-repairing, and collagen-boosting effects. It was first discovered in 1988 by scientists collecting mud samples in the Admiralty Bay near King George Island in Antarctica. After isolating the Pseudoalteromonas bacterial strain, they found that it produces an extracellular material of glycoproteins, which allow the bacteria to retain moisture, resist oxidative degradation, and regenerate in its extreme environment. PFE uses these superstrength adaptive mechanisms to restore and protect the skin, making it an undisputed star in skincare formulations.
What Does Pseudoalteromonas Extract Ferment Do for Your Skin?
An adaptive strategy in nature translates to potent actives in skincare. Pseudoalteromonas' ability to combat oxidative stress , produce bioactive molecules, and function efficiently in harsh conditions means powerful benefits for age defense and more.
Benefits of Pseudoalteromonas ferment extract.
Immediate and Long-Lasting Results: PFE has been shown to provide both immediate moisturizing effects and long-term improvements in skin hydration, firmness and appearance.
Collagen and Elastin Boost: Studies have shown that PFE can increase the production of collagen type I and IV, as well as elastin, fortifying skin structure and diminishing the appearance of wrinkles.
Wrinkle Reduction: PFE has been shown to reduce the depth of wrinkles, especially on the forehead and around the eyes.
Tissue Regeneration: PFE promotes wound healing by stimulating fibroblast adhesion and keratinocyte growth, promoting tissue regeneration.
Antioxidant Defense: Antioxidant properties give PFE the ability to guard against environmental stressors and protect collagen from damage.
Moisture retention and plumping: PFE has powerful moisture-binding properties that help the skin retain water and plump cells for a healthy, hydrated appearance.
