Derived from marine biotechnology, EPS Seamat, from Codif, is a marine exopolysaccharide with a unique and completely new structure which gives it the property of an immediate mattifying agent.
Skin shine, a major issue for oily and combination skins, is the number one enemy for a fresh and clean skin tone. It is generally caused by an overproduction of sebum which increases during the day. EPS Seamat absorbs the excess of sebum on the surface of the skin and reduces shine within one hour till the end of the day. Neither abrasive nor harsh, its light and fluid texture respects oily and combination skins. This 100% natural, qualified and purified active ingredient represents a new generation of cosmetic active ingredients that combine the effectiveness of synthetic molecules with the natural properties of plant extracts. The new ingredient:
• Absorbs and masks the excess sebum at the surface of the skin.
• Decreases overall skin shine 1 hour after application and for up to 8 hours.
• Deceases skin shine of the T-zone 1 hour after application and for up to 8 hours.
• Not dehydrating.
EPS Seamat is a unique, pure and natural exopolysaccharide. The exopolysaccharide is produced by marine plankton collected from the temperate and shallow waters of the Aber-Wrac’h, on the north coast of Finistere in Brittany, France. The Abers are inlets of sea which penetrate into the coastline. They have a rich and varied ecosystem where the organisms and microorganisms develop in both salt water from the sea and fresh water from the rain. Once isolated and qualified, the microorganism is cultured in a bioreactor where it secretes its exopolysaccharide directly into the culture medium. Bioreactor culture combined with sophisticated purification systems mean that exopolysaccharide production can be controlled. In this way, reproduction of the chemical structure is guaranteed and a high purity of the final product can be ensured.
