BROWN HYDRA EXTRACT.

Valuable / ANTIOXIDANT, HUMECTANT, SKIN CONDITIONING

An advanced biological extract derived from the biologically immortal freshwater organism Hydra oligactis. This powerhouse ingredient leverages high-performance peptides and glycosaminoglycans to catalyze skin regeneration and cellular longevity.

antioxidant humectant skin conditioning regenerative agent

Science

It utilizes a dual-action pathway: first, by delivering bio-active peptides that shield cutaneous stem cells from oxidative degradation; and second, by utilizing natural glycosaminoglycans to create a moisture-binding matrix that reinforces the stratum corneum and accelerates tissue repair.
