What is Pseudoalteromonas Exopolysaccharides?
Pseudoalteromonas Exopolysaccharides is a concentrate obtained by the fermentation of marine bacteria and has gained a reputation as a highly effective alternative for the popular and well-loved hyaluronic acid (HA). Rich in glucuronic acid it’s a hygroscopic ingredient meaning it is excellent at hydrating the surface of the skin and retaining water. Much like HA it acts like a sponge and draws in every ounce of water and locks it into the skin leading to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles giving you a smoothing finish to your complexion by decreasing any signs of roughness to the skin. The long-lasting hydration also helps combat the effects of free radical damage such as exposure to the harmful UV rays and pollution.
