ABYSSINE™ PF

Aqua (and) Butylene Glycol (and) Alteromonas Ferment Extract. ABYSSINE™ PF by Lucas Meyer Cosmetics (IFF) offers best skin protection. This preservative-free & ecofriendly ingredient is a biotech exopolysaccharide from an extremophile living in deep sea hydrothermal vents. It strengthens the natural skin defense through a biomimetic mechanism. It protects & repairs sensitive and sensitized skin from primary external aggressions by acting on the global skin defense system. It decreases ICAM-1 expression by 76%, a skin stress marker involved in the skin reactivity cascade. The total protection (100%) of langerhans cells ensures an optimal skin defense. The increase by 63% in cell renewal improves skin resistance towards aggressions. And, the increase by 29% in fibroblast mobility enhances natural skin healing process. It heals skin harmed by chemical and mechanical aggressors, medication and sun. The decrease in cutaneous reactivity improves skin tolerance threshold and reduction of skin discomfort provides optimal soothing benefits. Also, skin redness induced by sun exposure is reduced and healing of micro-cuts caused by shaving is improved. It is suitable for all skin types & genders and relevant for all types of products. ABYSSINE™ PF is used in daily skin-, sensitive & reactive skin-, sun & after sun skin-, repairing & restructuring skin, soothing & calming-, soothing scalp-, baby-, atopic skin-, acne prone-, and shaving & after-shaving care products. Also, used in day after day gentle protection, wound healing and cosmeceutical/dermocosmetic formulations. It is China compliant.
