Product Highlights

Science

The inhabitants of harsh marine environments, with extreme temperatures or drastic changes in limiting factors for example, need to develop aspecific bioactive compounds to survive. Pseudoalteromonas is a genus of bacteria found in areas like the Antarctica or intertidal shores, capable of secreting extracellular polymeric substances (ECPS) of a highly varied composition and functionality. Among them, glycoproteins and exopolysaccharides are of especial relevance as they can act as already existing key elements of the skin, including hyaluronic acid (HA), that are essential to keep it firm, elastic and hydrated.

Lipstick lines are one of the fast appearing signs of aging, etching vertically from the upper lip towards the nose. The deteriorating effect of the passing years on extracellular matrix compounds (eg. collagen and HA) increases the formation of such lines, though there are other influencing factors (genetics, diet, environment, smoking…). seacode™ marine ingredient reverts the aginginduced skin alterations that lead to the appearance of lipstick lines, providing a younger aspect.
