What is Alteromonas Ferment Extract? What is Abyssine?
Alteromonas macleodii are a type of ocean bacteria that live near deep sea hot water vents. These bacteria are drawn to these very hot and highly pressurized areas, and have evolved very special polysaccharides that can be extracted by a technique developed by scientists of Lucas Meyer Cosmetics.
