Science & Benefits

This 'extremophile' ferment is derived from bacteria living in deep-sea hydrothermal vents. It is a heat-stable antioxidant that becomes more effective as the skin temperature rises (UV exposure). As a humectant, it provides deep, mineral-rich hydration. It is zero-comedogenic and zero-irritant. It is a strategic inclusion for acne-prone skin exposed to the sun, as it protects the skin from the oxidative stress that leads to blackhead formation and collagen breakdown while maintaining a hydrated barrier.
