An active created from a biotech process that results in yeast-free amino acids. The amino acids act in synergy resulting in skin hydration, osmoprotection, and balance in the skin barrier function.

The process by which these amino acids are obtained is through a natural extraction process known as autolysis from yeast. Within the autolysis process, Hydraskin is created from the intracellular components of the yeast, and the hair active, Extracell PLEX, is created from the protein components of the cell wall, two for the price of one!

Additional Benefits:

• Holds natural hydration fro prolonged time (72 hours)
• Postbiotic properties
• Usage level: 1-5%
