About this ingredient
Alteromonas ferment extract is obtained by culturing the marine bacterium Alteromonas. INCI: Alteromonas Ferment Extract. Its main component is an exopolysaccharide the bacterium produces in the marine environment. In a formula it works as a moisturizing and soothing component: it holds water, forms a protective film on skin, and is credited with an anti-inflammatory and repairing action for sensitive skin. The component has studies from the developing brand, but the independent base is more modest, so it is a supporting active. Pregnancy safety. Topical use is systemically negligible, with no evidence of harm. It can be used during pregnancy and lactation. Tolerance. Irritation and allergen potential are low, suitable for sensitive skin.
