Thermus Thermophillus Ferment

Thermus Thermophilus Ferment extract (TTF) is a specialized bacterium strain found in shallow marine hydrothermal systems and low-saline solfataric springs - the muddy waters near volcanic areas. This bacterium that thrives at around 75 °C. has been gathered from vents two kilometres down on the bottom of the Pacific’s Gulf of California. Recent further investigations have proven the next properties of this ferment:

  • protection against Infrared- Ageing,
  • protection of DNA against oxidative damage of UVA irradiation (in vitro),
  • decrease of lipoperoxidation of the stratum corneum being a potent antioxidant that can deactivate hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion radical,
  • increase of skin ceramide amounts,
  • protection against collagen contraction ,
  • stinulation of corneocytes maturation.
